Don't get me wrong, I agree with you 100% that legislation and government are becoming a weapon against Christianity...the so-called separation of church and state is one of the biggest political hoaxes of all time. All I'm saying is some of us in Christian circles have swung the pendulum the opposite direction and hold America on a higher pedestal than we should. Let's keep our noses less in the newspaper and more in our Bibles.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646021273198923175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680314532365347510.post-48835946599489835832011-08-26T12:29:41.298-05:002011-08-26T12:29:41.298-05:00I think you are missing the boat here.

For most people the issue is the agressive exclusion of Christian principles in public life based on the claim that we were not only NOT founded as a Christian nation but somehow the state was invented to protect people from Christianity -- a.k.a separation of church and state. Frankly, it takes a pretty egregious revisionist history to think that the nations founders had the current state of affairs between the Fed Gov and Christianity in mind, or would think this situation acceptable.<br /><br />"Living by example is far better than any legislation" is pretty naive; we are now faced with an active opponent using the leginslation and government as a weapon. Living by example is an individual responsiblity, making sure the government does not conflict with Christian principles is a corporate responsiblity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680314532365347510.post-71732506421510505742011-08-21T08:08:17.816-05:002011-08-21T08:08:17.816-05:00My church recently produced a sermon on this very ...My church recently produced a sermon on this very topic recently. Protesting and wagging our collective fingers only makes us look like fools. Instead of trying to change the culture, we should be trying to change hearts. Living by example is far better than any legislation. That said, if we can stand politically against a great evil--abortion being the most obvious--that is well. But protesting and waving the Bible around is not the best approach.<br /><br />Moral people without Christ is just as bad as immoral people without Christ.J.P.
