I am SURE many American bloggers will be posting their comments/twitters in relation to this discussion between Pastor Rick Warren and the presidential candidates Obama and McCain. So, all I am going to say is Amen to the fact that “To whom much is given much is required” is working its way into America’s political conscience. I believe that the church, as the body of Christ, is here first and foremost to live this out by giving much since we know and have accepted God’s wonderful grace and love. But I cannot discount the fact that I am a United States citizen, a woman in fact, who has rights and the ability to do many things that others around the world cannot. It is not a great burden, but a great honor, that we as people are able to give to others- in this country, and around the world. Again, I have a certain idealism that might seem out of the realm of possibility. But I believe in a God who can move mountains, and if I have just the faith of a mustard seed (as my best friend Jennifer recently reminded me) then I too am able to do things through his power. So, let’s keep on working the plight of others into our speeches, and keep awareness going. And as Christ followers, let us keep on showing the kindness of Christ, reaching out in love whenever possible and even when it feels like it’s not possible, because through Him all things are.
Peace- Andrea
