It's not enough to say, "Yeah! Right on! You tell 'em, Sam! The politicians in our nation's capital ARE bad and our taxes ARE too high!" When worldly power is redistributed--as it has been redistributed from kings and potentates and all-powerful Popes to millions of ordinary voters and consumers--the sins associated with it do not go away. They are democratized and occur on a smaller scale and are less noticeable on a case-by-case basis, but they keep right on going. Christians today are perilously close to accepting wholeheartedly the democratic assertion that real evil comes only from big-shots and people in special positions. They are like generals preparing for a war that was fought long ago with different tactics, while doing nothing to prepare for the war now facing them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
