When we start living our lives in various arenas where people can see the love of Jesus and a different perspective on the world then they begin to want and desire what we have. It's way more effective then pushing Christian agendas trying to force a Christian world view in public arenas where that isn't going to happen anyways.

I have witnessed it on many levels of government. Especially dealing with schools. Kids wearing Christian t-shirts, or carrying their bible are constantly getting into trouble for having them in school. Their are many times when a Christian world view isn't welcomed or appreciated but when a different religion or sect speaks it's considered their "right" to make those claims.

When we compartmentalize our lives, we can slip into "dual" personalities. I tend to most appreciate Christians who are proclaiming their faith with their actions of kindness, generosity, humility, joy and love, rather than with their words. Don't tell me about the Christian life, show me in who you are as a person. If I sense that you are authentic and genuine, I might just want to learn more about this relationship you have with Christ.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102035312463554536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336172740435891338.post-31726296431495156742016-05-06T11:02:32.068-07:002016-05-06T11:02:32.068-07:00Hi Jeff,
Thanks for this post regarding dual citiz...Hi Jeff,<br />Thanks for this post regarding dual citizenship! A good reminder and call for all of us! I think the opportunity exists for people to be active in both the church and government. As Calvin reminds us, as Christians we must place God's authority above all other authority. In fact I think that more people should be involved in both areas. Maybe this would assist the government and a Christian perspective would be given. I would ask this question. Do you think that there are times when the current u.s. government limits the expression of Christian freedoms? richard watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930228931293631608noreply@blogger.com
