Let’s Get Political

Ohhh boy!

This evening I have been working on school work. I was given a strange assignment; To watch a video entitled “Fall of the Republic” by: Alex Jones. (I’ll post a link to it if you want to check it out). This was an eye opening film, full of horrifying truths about this country. I’m not saying i am about to become some wacked out over-zealous advocate of conspiracy theories. However I am learning the importance of knowledge about one’s government and country. As followers of Christ we are supposed to be in prayer for our country and its leaders; how can we do that if we are ignorant to current events? This film and life at the moment has really got my mind thinking about how quickly everything can change. It is crazy to see how even one decision can snowball into a completely new margin of thinking and action. But i digress.. Politics blow my mind. I am really getting frustrated with them all together. I am noticing politics everywhere! Obviously in our country, but lately I have seen a lot of politics in the local church.. that really scares me. Honestly I think that scares me more than dirty politics in the U.S. Even if a local church has a strong, pure-hearted leader, the lesser authoritative figures can still affect the body. (oh my, I wasn’t intending on bringing this blog to church ideals) I think it’s easy for a main vision to be blurred as it is copied in the hearts of ruthless followers of Jesus and a single human authority. I see it when I see immature decisions made by authorities that strike me as opposite of what I read in the Bible. Granted I’m seeing these things from an outside perspective and this is just my opinion. But, all things set aside. Let’s keep politics out of our local church community. Love is the key. pointing the finger is as futile as chasing the wind. Just love.
