"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." Leanard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries. I read this and am convicted. My personal political spectrum dictates larger military, yet I fail to see Jesus supporting this. Oh what a conundrum I face! Many times we as christian right, get so caught up in politics that we forget the simplicity of having faith in God. Yes we pray. Yes we vote. But do we need to fight with people about politics? I don't agree with everything this blog stands for, but I agree with how the unsaved world sees christianity as a political party, when it's not. Presidential Politics, Big Military and Jesus – Red Letter Christians
note: I am not a pacifist, and I don't think Jesus was either, but I still have many questions for people who say building the biggest military in the world is a christian thing. I am still a republican because of their stance on many moral issues, family, abortion and such. But it's the military over emphasis that I don't like.
