Let Bible guide daily lives, not an agenda
At least a few times a week, the liberals try to use the Bible and Jesus’ word to promote their social agenda in support of President Obama. I dislike this approach. Read the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 25:34-36. I doubt he was directing his comments to Caesar (President Obama) expecting Rome (Washington) to spread the wealth around. I believe he was speaking of people helping people.
Consider Paul’s travels to Asia where he asks and received gifts to bring back to Jerusalem to support the poor and underprivileged. Paul never traveled to Rome to petition the government for new legislation. He expected people to help people.
I wonder if the folks who support all the government social issues tithe or support the Community Kitchen or many of the other philanthropic endeavors available. We know Joe Biden doesn’t, and it took being the president for Obama to give generously.
Rather than use the Bible for political gain and to support some radical agenda, let’s use it to guide our daily lives and pray that the people in Washington use our resources wisely.
