Standing Strong in this present world:
The Call for Christians in the Political Arena!!
|
In the landscape of modern politics, the voice of Christians is crucial, echoing the principles upon which our nation was built and drawing from the wisdom of the Bible. As Christians, we are called to be active in the political arena, guided by the our Founding Fathers and the Bible. In a world of shifting ideologies and moral relativism, our steadfast commitment to truth and justice must shine brightly.
Our Founding Fathers understood the significance of moral values in governance. Their wisdom remains relevant today, serving as a beacon for Christians navigating the complexities of politics. Benjamin Franklin, one of the architects of the American Revolution, emphasized the importance of virtuous living in society, stating, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom." This sentiment underscores the indispensable role of morality in preserving liberty and democracy.
Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, recognized the need for divine guidance in the affairs of the nation. He asserted, "God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?" Jefferson's words remind us that our rights and freedoms are rooted in God's sovereignty, compelling us to uphold moral principles in our governance.
