†. 2Tim 2:4 . . As Christ's soldier, do not let yourself become tied up in the
affairs of this life, for then you cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you
in his army.
The koiné Greek word for "affairs" is pragmateia (prag-mat-i'-ah) which
refers to transactions.
One of Webster's definitions of "transaction" is a communicative action or
activity involving two parties or things that reciprocally affect or influence
each other. That definition can apply to any number of human affairs
including, but not limited to, business and politics.
I sincerely believe that when Martin Luther King Jr got involved in the civil
rights movement, and began using the lectern of his church as a soap box to
express his political views; he committed one of the worst sins that a
minister ordained to serve Jesus Christ can commit: the sin of
insubordination.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the man America extols as a hero and a role model
turns out to be a shameful disgrace in the eyes of God?
