Want Real Change?

Why do so many Christians seem to exhibit blind allegiance to party and country? Why do so many believers seem to think that our hope hinges on voting the right candidates into power?

As Dr. David Alan Black notes in his latest essay:

God's will hic et nunc is not to improve the American Way of Life. Politics is a false god if ever there was one. God or Mammon. Jesus or Julius. We must simply decide.

Jesus tells us, "Make disciples of all nations." I don't know about you, but I'll stick with the transforming power of the cross, which alone can lay the foundation for "real change," a "new beginning," or whatever other slogans the candidates and their parties will hype this election year.

"The transforming power of the cross." Talk about change we can believe in!
