Showing yesterday's blog to the Social Worker at SouthernCare, he remarked we no longer have statesman but poll-itions. This seems abundantly true. What happened to personal convictions and ethics? People say they do not want an extreme Christian running for office because they might bring Christian values with them to a secular government. Does an atheist bring their no-God belief system to our government
Years ago, I had teachers. Today, those who teach our children are called educators. An educator conveys facts to the student, but a teacher shares their life. The Bible does not say God gave the church pastors/educators but pastors and teachers. The Christian life is to be conveyed to the disciple. It involves time and more time as you reveal to them what God has show you and how he has dealt with you in good and in bad.
Political (or should I say poll-itical) people will blow with the winds of change and stray from their own convictions if they had any. People say Rep. Ryan is a brave politician for coming out with a very serious budget. I am not making any judgements on his motives. I just wish we had men and women of government who would stand up for what they believe and not worry about their future. I have not seen too many former politicans starving on the streets after their terms of office. They seem to rebound well financially. If they don't do something, we may be the ones in trouble.
Come on leaders--LEAD!
