Rename the News Forum, the "politics forum"

Again...God raises up leaders...Sampson, Saul, and David were just such leaders raised to take care of enemies.
Apparently, according to you...if we don't "do something" God is either unwilling or unable to do something that needs to be done.
So you are still in favor of trying to advise God in what He needs to do. Or you are wanting to be a Saul...a "hand of judgement" that is like the tribe of Dan...getting left out of Heaven. (tribe not mentioned in Revelations)
And God was very clear with David, Saul, and Sampson with what they were supposed to do...It wasn't "subject to interpretation" or some other nonsense.

I am not in harmony with promoting perversion to children...of course not.
But I also don't see a need with "book burning and banning" because of some sort of shrill shreeker screaming at the top of their lungs at a school board meeting either over materials that are subject to "request for access" by a parent in order for the materials to be available to their children either. (which is literally what is happening here...and that is just the lighter points of the meetings...details are much much worse)


I don't care what the whole world does...its not my job to care. I care about those in my small community.
Government is outside of my world and purvue...again because it involves politicians and politics.

Politics is the means by which they Killed Jesus...granted He died for me...but I would be an absolute hypocrite for promoting politics or a political view to anyone if I were to do so.
and I am striving to not be one of those. YMMV

I will get a chance to read this a bit later. But I would I like to invite you to the Happy In the Lord thread in the BDF. We want to try and prove that praise can win out aruguing in the forums. So we may disagree here, I think we could agree over there. Share whatever makes you happy, a verse a song, whatever it may be. Blessings.

When Christians stop assuming leadership roles in society, they have ceded the society. Godly men and women have always been at the forefront in every nation and in every area of endeavor wherever nations have been blessed. And this will remain the case so long as it is righteousness that exalts nations.
It is irresponsible in my opinion to long for God's healing while doing nothing to assuage the inevitable downward spiral that always attends the influence of the ungodly.
Make a difference where you are. Bloom where God has planted you.

I have a friend who is on a school board. I tend to think she is nuts for even getting elected to the position. (It wasn't much of a campaign....she was the only one who signed up) The controversial books that have the LGBT themes are only in the libraries of the final three grades of Publix education and only viewable by those whose parents have opted in to allow them access. But it's also not just LGBT themes in that section there are books that contain more mature themes that have nothing to do with sex. There's death, torture, imprisonment and other themes in that section as well.

However,
The charges are that all of these books are grooming children. And where I'd agree with that assessment for a few of those books...hardly all of them or even a majority. And there is the thing where they have to have a permission voucher to even gain access.

But this is what takes up the school board's meetings. Screaming and shouting and false accusations. It's not discussion...it's shouting down sessions.

I really don't care...I want no part of it all.

It might not be perfect, because none of us are, but they wouldn't act like these liars. It would be a huge up grade! I realize the bar is set very low, so they would have to be much better.
