Every election, we (in the Christian world) hear about the need to elect candidates who are pro-life and against same sex marraiges. We hear about Christian groups marching in front of abortion clinics and various statewide election ballots around the nation that puts to a vote whether or not to legalize or criminalize same sex marraige. Ok, thats fine. But let me ask this:
Is our concern about specific sins taking place? If so, why are we not also marching on the offices of slum lords around the nation who take advantage of poor working families whose children are lucky if they get one decent meal a day. If so, why are we not marching on the homes of people who committ adultery. In the OT, such people were stoned. Please don't think I am for abortion or same sex marraige--NOTHING COULD BE MORE TO THE CONTRARY! As a follower of Jesus Christ, I am against all sin. However, I believe there is a better way to have less abortions and less homosexual relationships. What is the better way?
Very simple. Go make disciples, baptize them, and teach them everything Jesus teaches us through God's word. How do we do that? Go love on people, make friends, show Jesus working through our lives. If every Christian just got to work executing that command--imagine how many more Christians there would be and how many less abortions, homosexual sin, less murders, less hate, less greed, less fornication, less adultery, and the list goes on.
Go figure? :)
Blessings and praises to the Lord.
