   “The passage reminded me that often politicians are reactionary and true change must come from the ground up.”

   Amen. The Gospel is not meant to be a means through which “Christians” force cultural transformation. The Gospel transcends cultural boundaries to transform individuals within culture who inturn create culture, a culture which reflects their new identity.

   Thanks for visiting my blog. Mosaic sounds quite interesting.
   I recently Read a good chapter from Philip Yancey’s book “The Jesus I Never Knew,” related to this topic.
   He said if all the “evangelical Christians” of today are known for 30 years from now is that they are “pro-family values, anti-abortion, anti homosexual rights” then the church will have been a failure.

   So much is said among believers right now about who is “God’s man” for the White House, but for people in Jesus’ day this would have been a foreign concept. They didn’t sit around saying “Who’s God’s man to rule the Roman Empire? Octavius? Augustus?”

   BTW– the church has always grown the fastest in times where the government and society has been hostile to it.
