This election cycle has reminded me how prone we are to advocate for either justice OR righteousness. But God always demands BOTH. In fact, to bring sustainable change to the world requires both. 1/6
There is no escaping the absolute need for a politic, ethic, & commitment to BOTH righteousness and justice. Our neglect in one ALWAYS corrodes our credibility in the other. (2/6)
Conservative & liberal Christians have missed each other on these twin towers of righteousness & justice for too long - often in the name of “staying in my lane.” But if you follow Jesus, your *lane* includes BOTH towers, whether your political party follows suit or not. (3/6)
Becoming single issue voters has had a devastating effect on both our unity and our credibility. Usually, the single issue voter becomes a bold prophet against the political sins of the opponent, but a gentle & enabling accomplice against the sins of their own party. (4/6)
We have acted like complex issues are simple. Stop it. They are not. To vote Biden does NOT make someone complicit in the evil of abortion. To vote Trump does NOT make someone complicit in the evil of racism. Stop being played like a puppet. (5/6)
My post-election prayer is that Christians will again stand out as the one group with the boldness and vision to advocate for BOTH righteousness AND justice. And oh yeah, blessed are the peacemakers. (6/6)
