Politics of Power

Today if you turn on the Television here in the U.S. all you see are political conventions, advertisements, debates and demonstrations. The message of many of these are promises of change, a better life and way. Each party promises it's way is better. But in fact what they are really after is power. Now how much power they will have will determine how the "politics of power" plays out in the arena of power plays which we know as Washington. No matter which party gets into power there will be disappointments and unkept promises.

I am not going to attempt to tell you how to vote but I would suggest you vote your conscience and consider the real issues like justice, poverty, prejudice, which are close to God's own heart, and ask for God's wisdom.

However, I can tell you of a power you can trust and put your faith in. A power who will keep all of the promises made. A power who is not political but is pro-people of every race, nationality, sexual orientation and will not exclude anyone from his programs. This is a party of which I can support. A party that my colleagues from the Progressive Christian Alliance have called the "Party of the Lamb". This is the party of the Kingdom of God. This party is committed to bringing change to the entire world.
