Politics & Religion

Some people are religiously political.

Lots of passion over candidates who will forget campaign promises five minutes after they're in office.

Real change is effected through prayer - not politics.

Re: Politics & Religion

Prayer without action, when action is available and useful, is not very effective.

True, but action becomes ineffective and even destructive when it ceases to be Christlike.

Notice I said 'action that is useful'... that would mean action dictated by the results of prayer and faith.
