As we come to the end of the current political campaign, I'm sharing a couple of articles that have been meaningful to me as I consider a biblical response to my civic responsibility and privilege. First, a thought provoking article by Ronald J. Sider, professor of theology at Eastern Seminary, http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Christianity/2005/03/Evangelical-Voters-Practice-What-You-Preach.aspx. While I don't necessarily agree with every word in this piece, it contains much to be considered.
The second is a piece by Michael Horton with a compatible message, entitled, 'Just How Pro-Life Are You Really?'
Both articles challenge Christian readers to test and try their convictions and their understanding of biblical worldview.

Thanks for the links on this subject. I'm very interested in politics from a distance. The trouble with politics is that everyone has an opinion. And therefore everyone, since they are entitled to their own opinion, is correct in their own eyes. And I don't like to ruffle any feathers. So I keep quiet.
I've never been so interested in politics as I have this year. I must be getting older since I now look forward to Meet the Press, Bill O'Reily, Hannity and Colmes, all the Fox News shows for that matter.
Just don't make me watch any Katie Couric show, I'd rather stub by big toe.
I'd rather listen to someone scratch their fingernails on a chalkboard or have my tongue stapled to the carpet than listen to Katie Couric...
