Waging War on the Political Spirit
I am really beginning to believe that God's Kingdom not only will fulfill all spiritual needs of a community but will also touch every social part of a community. I see that the Bible defines true religion as feeding the poor and taking care of the widows and orphans, which are social areas of concern. Unfortunately, most Christians that I know are more concerned with spiritual methods such as prayer, reading the Bible, going to church, etc.; they leave the social issues to politicians. But when politicians give God credit for their wisdom, they are criticized for having a political spirit and using the church for political aide. There is simply a realm of politics in every part of life that we have to deal with. Social issues shouldn't be handed over to the federal government to take care of, these tasks need to be taken up as a Kingdom Mandate to break through and change our communities in the name of Jesus.
