Problem with labeling a politician or political party Christian
“it’s like saying that the party that uses candles must be the true one because they’re shaped so much like sticks of gospel dynamite. The gospel was meant to explode with saving power the lives of politicians and social activists, not help them decorate their social agenda.” (John Piper Bloodlines pp84-85)
Right now, I’m in the process of writing a magazine article addressing the issue of racism based on another article I previously wrote, “Confessions of a former racist dad.” As I work through these issues and deal with my own sin, I am being helped and convicted by excerpts from John Piper’s new book Bloodlines. I’m also looking forward to reading the whole book and watching this documentary on racism
