Years ago when I was about 19 I became very vocally active against nuclear proliferation and nuclear power. I will never forget an old co-worker of mine who was born in Germany just before Hitler took power, and was brought out of Germany to save their lives. His name was Matt Huessey.
He told me then; “David, you need to choose. Will you spend your life being against something, or will you live your life For something.”
He pointed me to living for Jesus, For His Kingdom here on Earth, As it…
For too many years, Christians have chosen various hills on which to fly their flag. Whether it be the flag of pacifism, environmentalism, antiracism, political parties on either side, and going back further through history, over various interpretations of scripture.
