Party National Conventions

Party National Con­ven­tions: Get­ting a bunch of peo­ple together, run your oppo­nents into the ground, and build up pride in your own men and women.

The more I watch the Repub­li­can con­ven­tion, the more I real­ize how anti­thet­i­cal Amer­i­can pol­i­tics is to a  Chris­t­ian worldview.

I’d expect back­bit­ing, pride-pushing antics from those who know not the King­dom of God — within which the last is first and the first is last and oppo­nents are blessed — but how messed up is Amer­i­can Chris­tian­ity when we see even pro­fessed Chris­tians on a national stage bla­tantly shirk­ing so many of the Christ’s teachings…

…and how eas­ily have I allowed myself to slip into the same mind­set through­out this pres­i­den­tial cam­paign season.
