Need to go back and re-read this. Some good points, some points I don't agree with... Still processing...

And a WONDERFUL read from Relevant magazine. It's like my own thoughts!!





Some good quotes:

*"I've realized I cannot fully embrace either political party. Both sides of the aisle have some great ideas and goals. But both have areas where they simply get it wrong."

*"Many Christians traditionally have voted Republican because of their justifiable conviction to protect the lives of the unborn. Now, many younger Christians are voting Democrat because of their justifiable desire to see our nation, the most prosperous in the world, address issues of poverty, global aid and the environment. The problem is, many Christians vote these convictions, but that's largely where their personal involvement in the issues stops."

*Many Christians want to overturn Roe v. Wade, but I don't hear nearly as many leading the charge on a national adoption movement. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, where are all of those babies going to end up? Christians should be focused on personal action regardless of legislation, not just waiting for the right number of Supreme Court justices to come along."

AMEN!
