Politics and the Gospel

I was visiting Fellowship Greenville a few weeks back and the “teaching” hit home with me: Politics and the Gospel. Charlie Boyd is one of my favorites and I enjoy hearing him when I can be away from my home at Christ Church Episcopal.  I have talked about many times over the past couple of years how we live in very trying times. I have never witnessed such divisiveness….such anger…there is no civility in our political process anymore.  What do we do???   This has been especially so these past couple of weeks as we have witnessed the modern day crucifying of Judge Brett Kavanaugh….and his family(I say his family because last week he told the story of his young daughter suggesting prayer for his accuser ) and now the left is making fun of her…for praying.

The mixing of politics and church has long been debated as to the appropriate level to which one should involve each of these important parts of our lives. I have read Romans in the past, but not until I listened to Charlie did I truly have clarity of the role the Gospel plays in our political lives.  This is the statement that got my attention: “if we do not live the Gospel in our politics then we won’t live it effectively in the other areas of our lives.” BINGO!!  Read Romans 13:1-8 when you have a minute. Better yet watch Charlie Boyd teach this lesson….only after you listen to my segment below as I talked about this topic on my show recently.

Mitchell Report: “he said, she said”

Arizona sex crimes Prosecutor, Rachel Mitchell, was hired by the GOP to ask the questions in last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to hear charges brought by D. Christine Blasey Ford against nominee Brett Kavanaugh.  Her analysis:

In the legal context, here is my bottom line: A “he said, she said” case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that. Dr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event, and those witnesses either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them. For the reasons discussed below, I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee. Nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to satisfy the preponderance-of-the-evidence standard.

Vote YES to confirm Judge Kavanaugh

We all heard the testimony of Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh last week. The FBI, at the direction of the White House, is doing a supplemental background investigation. Assuming nothing new is uncovered it’s time to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh and move on. I agree with Senator Jeff Flake that this process is tearing the country apart so let’s be ready for a vote this week!!! Let’s let Senator Flake and his colleagues, who appear to be on the fence,  know we are ready to move forward with an affirmative vote.
