Jenily - it was a post about Barack Obama talking about racism, and the discussion devolved into who is 'right' and 'wrong' - you know, a typical political discussion. I did not link to it because it is really not important the content of that blog, but that so many people fell into the "I am a Christian, therefore I think anyone who votes such-and-such way is stupid"...it really was falling into using the "I'm a Christian - here's why you're wrong" technique that turns many away from the message of the Gospel and Christ. That's what got me thinking that - if we can walk around (or post, as the case is here) talking about things of this world when the work of evangelism is going undone, aren't we missing the mark? Your blogs are the 'good ones', I must say - they are what I like about mychurch - discussion and further insight about being Christian and your personal 'walk with Christ'. That's the fellowship that is nice. The other work you do with your writings DOES hopefully reach the lost. But this is 'safe ground' for a Christian - the whole "Preaching to the choir" thing. Cheryl - Balance is it! My pastor wrote this blog: http://www.mychurch.org/blog/162692/Losing-Focus?c=245409 regarding how we can lose focus on what's important with television, entertainment, and in this case, political debate...it's so true everything has a place, but we are tasked with prioritizing! Bhek - I thank you for your post and I agree that we make the best choice we can with our votes...and that at the end of the day, we have to offer that up to the Lord and trust in His wisdom to know better than we ever could where it will take us. I guess the idea behind this is as follows: if we can take all this time to discuss blogs and our opinions, we should prioritize and also take time to reach out to the lost. Heck, use the political landscape as a jumping off point to the discussion about things NOT of this World! |
