I saw this piece about a group that is concerned "about the lack of public accountability on the part of those exercising political and bureaucratic power. Putting a spin on things, rather than speaking the truth, has become the norm."
Sound familiar. It probably does regardless of what part of the world you live in. This particular quote came from a group of Christian leaders in Australia. The writer of this column added "Australians have good reason to be concerned about the lack of public accountability on the part of those exercising political and bureaucratic power. Putting a spin on things, rather than speaking the truth, has become the norm."
Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Here in the United States, our nation is led by those who are working to restrict the rights of its citizens while waging a war for the sake of "freedom." They want to legislate adherence to Christian principles while working to make discrimination toward GLBT people a part of the Constitution, the very basis for our laws.
It is time for citizens across the globe to stand firm and hold our leaders accountable. It is time to let them know that their spin needs to be replaced with substance.
It is time to hold those who spew scripture to defend their political positions accountable when their actions go against the teachings of Christ.
It's time to stand firm in our faith for our faith.
