How should Christians respond?
Another One Bit the Dust... In fact, two did. Within the last month, two politicians who have proudly carried the Christian torch, one a United States Senator and the other a well-known Governor, have admitted to sexual immorality and to breaking their marriage vows. Every time a rising political star who claims to be a Christian flames out, there are the predictable responses by the media. Some of the media appear to enjoy announcing the failure of Christians, and they are even more gleeful if the fallen star is of the opposing political party. Others quickly tell us we need to forgive, and what a person does in their private life is unrelated to what they do in the public life. And then, many of the self-appointed media, the regular callers on radio talk shows, quickly inform the uninformed masses that the reason the politician failed was because he or she was not really Christian. By the way, just because a person has the call-in talk show phone number on his or her speed dial list does not make them a member of the media. How should Christians respond when politicians or public personalities fail?
And one more thing…No, I think I will take my own advice and just shut up and move on. Gary Fenton |
