Monday, March 31st, 2008ECBT: Does the Presidential Election Matter?
Monday, March 31st, 2008I’ve entered into the Exponential Conference Blogging Tournament. This is my entry for the titluar question. Check out their blog here: PlantingSpace
Race. Religion. Policy. Character. War. All of these subjects have come up during this Presidential election. The question “does the presidential election matter” is slightly skewed. When we are asked this question, we are really asking if the subjects involved matter. So do race, religion, policies, and character matter? Of course they do. The subjects intertwined in this election give us as Christ-followers a chance to exercise and form an all-encompassing worldview. To show the world that we see the world not through rose-colored glasses as some candidates do, but rather through crimson-colored glasses as we are called to do.
The questions raised in this election will give Christianity and indeed the entire country a chance to converse and dialogue on issues that, outside of this election, we would otherwise not approach. Perhaps this election will be remembered not for which candidate was elected or the amount of money that was raised, but for the questions it raised.
Quick Hits.
Friday, March 28th, 2008- Last night, I came home around 10pm in order to go to bed, after watching a couple episodes of “Lost” with Miranda. Lo and behold, Pablo and Brian are pulling up…to practice. At first I was like “no way”, but I remember: where I live is not my house, it’s the church’s property. So I say what the heck, and let them go ahead. I fell asleep 15 minutes later to “Song of the Redeemed” on the drums (one of the harder songs Brian plays), and Pablo practicing a new song for this month. Only in church planting. Also some of the best sleep I’ve gotten in a while.
- I’m digging my recent purchase of Spurgeon’s Morning/Evening devotions.
- I’m feeling this month’s message, and having nailed down the messages from now until September. I’m usually not this behind…
- Date night with Miranda tonight!!! I’m stoked. I love you babe. If you are currently dating/engaged/married to someone and are not taking them out at least once a week just for “you” time, please let me know where you live. It’s for a….Christmas card. Yeah, a Christmas card. Or a fork in the sternum.
Hit me up for lunch if you’re in town: 252-531-7276.- Please pray: I’m #6 in the Catalyst March Madness tourney.
