Guess what guys. A short blog post from me. I know, you're really excited about this. Better get started before I lose you.
One particular debate annoys me kind of a lot. Well, really a lot. "Was America founded as a Christian nation? Is it a Christian nation? How do we make it a Christian nation?" How about...... WHO CARES. People spend so much time arguing over things that don't matter. As long as you are doing what's right, does it really matter what we label our country? To quote a paraphrase of a quote of my teacher: "Why is it so important to define America as 'Christian' when our first citizenship is in heaven?" Thanks Dr. Schoolfield. Should we participate in government? Sure. Should Christian convictions influence our decisions? Absolutely. But stop freaking out over laws in our country. For people that preach and preach AND PREACH God's sovereignty and control, we sure do freak out when some state passes a marriage equality act or when (God forbid) they talk about background checks on gun purchasers. We do our part. That's all we can do. We sure are bad at putting "all things work together for good" into practice when it comes to considering government decisions in our country. And "don't be anxious about anything"? Yeah, that's still in the Bible too. So chill out. And just do right.
