Citizens of Two Worlds

It seems there has been a negative reaction to "The Religious Right" by other Christians over the past several years. In some ways this attack is very much warranted, still we must be careful what we wish for.

The religious right has been on the anti-gay, anti-abortion war path for some time. It seems they would rather put a bumper sticker on their car that says, "Abortion is murder!" rather than tell their neighbor about Jesus. It seems that the religious right is more concerned about legislating morality than changing hearts.

Still it is a Godly thing to fight abortion and to promote Biblical marriage (1 man 1 woman till death). It is a good thing to desire our country to be moral. Those are Godly things!!

So what? Perhaps we should put our bumper stickers away. Maybe we should do everything we can to support those things which are Biblical and moral, but we should do that from a non-Biblical perspective rather then shoving the Bible down peoples throats. We must first be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven and second citizens of whatever country we are in.

Let's change people minds about Jesus first and everything else second.
