Zac asked "why are you always so upset about seemingly everything"
I dont get upset - rather I am showing my concern
I say I love my young children - but they want to eat a full gallon of ice cream
in one night. I tell them no - am I upset - no- I am concern about them.
(not to mention I love butternut scotch ice cream)

:laugh: I understand concern Salty. But concern for WHAT? Politics divides people around two things: money and morals
The love of money, stuff and this world is tied directly to Christian political attitudes.
And an unrighteous indignation,usually about someone else's sin, seems to be the driving force around the moral conection that we think our politics should be able to fix.
If folks in the church spent a tenth of the time sharing the love of Jesus that they do sharing their indignation about someone's political affiliation or conservativeness or liberalism, there probably wouldn't be a need for folks in the church to expect politics to fix through regulation, law or otherwise, the loose morals of the country.
Jesus died on the Cross as the answer to EVERYTHING and left His supposed people to share that as the answer. But when He says HE is the answer and His "people" present their politics as the answer, then either He's not the answer or the folks who say they are His people aren't and have appointed their politics the god of their lives.
HE IS THE ANSWER. Preach the GOSPEL!!!:thumbs:
