A lot of people I know need to read those words and take them to heart. As far as favorite blog post, I really didn't have any "great" ones this year. Maybe next year. It'll give me something to shoot for... That is one killer blog posting. A lot of people I know need to read those words and take them to heart.

Brad - I don't want to speak for Jon but I can say I while I an somewhat conservative I get frustrated with conservatives who idolize their politics because it closes people off to the real gospel. When I became a believer I was far from conservative in politics or lifestyle and that always turned me off -- and that was before the days of 24hr news stations. Sarah - I couldn't agree more! Lauree – Good point!

This is a doozy! This is something I have really come to realize over the last year, and I couldn't agree more! Politically, I am limited govt conservative libertarian. I do realize that we cannot legislate morality, we need to reach people with Christ's LOVE first! As for social issues, I feel strongly about keeping drugs illegal, because I have seen the victims. But I don't care who gets married or whether the 10 commandments are displayed in a courthouse. The commandments are meaningless without Jesus' redemption in my opinion. They serve to show us how sinful we are. Well, I'll resist preaching a sermon, but right on Nicole! Oh, man! This is a doozy!

(I'm a conservative, and not just because I'm a Christian, or Conservatism doesn't make me a Christian, LOL!) But in any case, it's good not to confuse ideologies like the two mentioned above...but my question is, does our theology to influence our political ideology? As far as favorite blog post, I don't have one. I'll see if I can find one.
