We need a new national political party which is based upon Biblical principles of love, mutual respect and inclusion. Hopefully, it would attract emotionally mature people of integrity from the existing parties. I know it sounds far-fetched, and I realize the United States is not a theocracy, but love of God, and obedience to God, and love and respect for our fellow Americans MUST be our political platform and guide. What do you think?
When John Lennon released his version of “Imagine” some 50 years ago, things were not much different as they are today. His message was similar, though very different, as he described religion was the core problem. I suggest, it is not the particular belief system of a religion, rather, a universal disregard for the tenants of every religion by those who claim their adherence is the problem. My thinking, is believers need to be salt and light, within whatever group, association, union, team, community they find themselves. Establishing a “political party”, with “inclusion”, which is a loaded concept these days, as a core value, would cause further fragmentation and isolation within God’s world. Being salt and light, requires us to “feed his sheep” by being among the sheep. My thinking is believers need to be very careful identifying themselves as a member of any particular group, especially a political party. .
