" Do not confuse Christian for American.." A.W. Tozer said this back in the 50s about America's habit of mixing American patriotism for Christian belief. Although this was written in the 50s, we are still mixed up in this today. Many Christians today link Christian with Republican Party. Although they do take a stand on many moral issues, Jesus was not one for taking stock on relying on government to legislate morality. In fact, he rebuked John for treating a city so harshly for not welcoming him. Yet, if the government isn't doing things how we want them done, we treat in the same way John treated that city. Isn't reliance on anything but Christ a " little god?"
Furthermore, what do we do when the government doesn't do what we think is right, do we pray for them? Fast for them? Treat them with the same Christlikeness we claim we possess?
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
