God's Political Favorite

We are, first, Christians. Some would have us believe we are, first, Americans or Republicans or something else. There are those who place their emphasis on politics. I would suggest that it's not biblical to do so. Politics are just fine, but not the end of the story.

Does that mean that Christians should avoid politics? Not at all. Okay, does that mean that the Bible has nothing to say about politics? Again, certainly not. I suspect, however, that very few even pay attention to the biblical perspective, so I'll give it to you here for your enlightenment.
A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left (Eccl 10:2).
There you have it, straight from the mouth of the wisest man who ever lived. You know where you need to go, now, so ...

I got a good chuckle out of this.

It's a shame though that there are people that actually read the Bible this way. According to them, Jesus was promoting of homosexuality and transgenderism because he told Lazarus to "Come out". Too often, we read our own meanings of words onto the Bible in ways they would never have been understood.

Was just reminded of another one. The thief on the right of Christ went to heaven and the thief on the left went to hell.
