Until we have serious conversations about our "ideological sickness" we will continue to experience "solution deadlock" in our attempt to tackle global issues!
We battle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities. As with Peter on several occasions, our so called bothers can follow another shepherd in the name of religion. Such truths should not be our banner to the world, that neither understands nor accepts a Biblical world view, but as Christ Followers it’s our reality. Not only do we stand at odds against other religious views, but political and philosophical views as well. Some have the audacity to claim that we – the U.S. -- should not interfere with this culture--beyond the dollar-- as the end result will be yet another police state, so-to-speak. From merely a secular view we have no need of such a country, save delivering the people from corruption, lack of education, and a developing a sustainable food source. As their souls are most important, God will bring the increase--possibly a beacon of light-- after so many years of darkness.
As Christ Followers, we must sow the seeds of love; God will do His part in breaking the Syncretism so many embrace, whether or not the outcome for that country meets our expectations.
Profound!
