I'm thankful that we're allowed to disagree with our leaders and can work to change our country out of love for our country. This should help us to avoid bitterness. (should!)

The Prophets in the Bible, for example, spoke out against wicked kings and selfish generations. It was God's will that they did so. The false prophets denied the sin. But somehow we get stuck in our little worlds, and we get offended and bitter at leaders who impose on us, and we forget to honor and love those God has placed in authority over us.

I don't believe, living in a country that allows freedom of speech and assembly, that all protest stems from rebellion. (I have good reasons behind this but no time to type them!) I don't condone the behavior of those outside Nancy Pelosi's office. Every time someone abuses the freedom we do have, we all lose some of that freedom. Hi Joel.

I heard Kelly say last week that, "Obedience that is not immediate is not really obedience." How true that it, and how selfish of us to tell God, "Not now-I'm busy." I want my life verse to be this: So I did as I was commanded. Thanks, Joel. We miss you down here! Nice posting, Joel.

" As much as I appreciate the gifts and ministries of great men of God, do you think that some people have become hung up on these gifts and ministries?" I share your concern. It does seem that some people in our day are getting their priorities out of order and seeking a certain manifestation of supernatural power or miracles more than even the person of Jesus Himself, more than personal holiness, and more than evangelism or commitment to making disciples. Great post Joel.

I don't think they're trying to screw the public on purpose, at least, not most. Politics is multi-faceted, like God. God is better. You have a point.

Conservatives are pro-corporatism. They want to protect the insurance giants and their profits, public be damned.
