I told you so. Months ago, I told my audience that Christians were making a big mistake when they allowed themselves to be characterized as Christian Right
, or Christian Left
. There are those who believe that Jesus was a conservative. Others believe he was a liberal. Neither group understands the first thing about Jesus. I warned my audience that getting locked up with one political party, block or movement allows the Christians and their agenda to be dismissed.
Now this sounds like a revolutionary idea, but it is Christianity 101—the basics. We are a people apart, a holy people. We can fight the culture wars, but it has to be fought as individuals, not as a political bloc. We are not really an army in this world, we are infiltrators. We have a message and a witness, and it is that message that is our business.
