Dear Liberal Christians,
The things you are passionate about– feeding the poor, clothing the naked, visiting the prisoner, befriending the stranger, canceling debt, sharing resources–the things that Jesus taught, the way the Israelites lived, the structure of the early believer’s communities. Keep that passion alive.
My question: are you going to become a “sheep” who knows Jesus by making these things happen with your VOTE? Or by living them out with your LIFE?
Certainly the government can redistribute wealth in our nation. Certainly programs can be enforced to feed, clothe and house. This is a liberal agenda of government involvement in (some*) things that really do matter in our (personal and collective) lives.
It is a cop-out to vote this way but not to re-structure your life. You will become a sheep not as you cast your vote for these things, but as you sacrifice your time, energy, your money, your life.
Sincerely,
Undecided Voter
*irony: advocating government regulation of many personal and communal issues, yet the liberal agenda wants the government to stay out of one issue- the choice to end the life of an inconvenient child.
