And those mistakes give us zero credibility. In the positions we occupy, God does not simply look at the Liberal and confine responsibility to them, he holds us responsible as well because most of us do nothing to even attempt to stop these things. God will hold those in power for the decisions they make. My wife and I have done our part ever since becoming Christians. But as age and diseases ravage our bodies, there's only so much those our age can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters what we do with what we do have. Is this not a discussion about opposing the liberal agenda - which is advanced by democrats and unopposed in any meaningful way by republicans? Then I'm not sure what you mean by "what we DO have". Because in the strictly political realm, we are very limited, indeed. I'm not down or depressed about it though - quite the contrary. I believe politically conservative Christians need to BEGIN by being honest with themselves. Honest with themselves by finally acknowledging that when it comes to opposing liberalism, the republican party - to which many have hitched their wagons - is a sham and a fraud. Once we understand that, perhaps we can then move on to something that is effective. Scripture is replete with examples of people trying to win battles on their own - without relying on the Lord. We Christians serve a God who owns "the cattle on a thousand hills". His riches and resources are without measure. It is difficult to marry the secular with the spiritual. While sometimes we get impatient and want to do things on our own, we should avoid the temptation to act without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. After all, the back of the Book says the 'good guys' prevail, in the end. If this is what you mean by 'what we do have', then I wholeheartedly agree.
