ROLE OF CHRISTIANS IN GOVERNMENT
Matthew 5:13-14 (CJB)
3 “You are salt for the Land. But if salt becomes tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longerTHE good for anything except being thrown out for people to trample on.14 “You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”
As Christians we must become who Christ said we are to the world in every area of society. We, as the church body, need to make an impact in our sphere of influence. Charles Finney, once a leader of the Second Great Awakening in the United States once quoted: “If Satan rule the halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it.”
As Christians we all have our own pulpits, our own sphere of influence. It may be our homes, our work places, our schools and most importantly our government. These are the 7 pillars where we can choose to make a difference: religion, family, education, business, arts and entertainment, media and government. President Ronald Reagan once stated:”Freedom is not free...it is never more than one generation away from extinction.” We must fight to protect it by getting ourselves involved in political issues which is essentially moral issues that may affect us all.
