The never-ending cycle of political campaigns makes me
sad. I am saddened by the amount of money that invades campaigns. I can barely
listen to or watch the political ads.
While I am weary of the system, I participate. I vote.
Each vote is important.
I love the following quote. While this quote was not
directly related to our primary election. It was more in response to issues of the
gospel, employment, and the prosperity gospel.
Indeed, God is not a Democrat or a Republican or a
capitalist.
“I don’t
believe God is a capitalist, I would never reduce the divine to any economic
system. I do believe that God does interact and intersect with humanity in ways
beyond human comprehension and that even corrupt, broken systems, can be
impacted in positive ways by God. In my belief system, all systems have some
brokenness, if God never allowed people to work in broken systems, African
Americans would never work!” Rev. Jennifer Tinsley
Indeed, since Genesis 3 we live in a
broken world. People of faith are called to make a difference in our communities.
