Joshua Claybourn's political wisdom

Joshua Claybourn’s at it being wise again! These rules for political Christians are great. I wish more followd them….!

“God does not belong to your party: No country, no political party, no political ideology can own Him. He’s the boss.

The ends do not justify the means: Stuffing ballot boxes, shredding public documents, etc. are wrong, and most people would agree to that. Sometimes, though, politically active folks seem to think it’s okay if it’s for a greater good. Not quite.

Faith does not lie in support: Too many Christians are turned off by liberalism and prone to conservatism simply because conservatives say nicer things about Christianity. While this phenomenon is generally true, be careful about the dangerous road it could lead you down.

Generosity does not mean compassion: Christianity teaches compassion. But cheap generosity, when it’s at someone else’s expense, isn’t compassion. (You know what I mean.) Doing what makes us feel good is sometimes different from what really helps.”
