A few weeks ago I read this bumper sticker that said, "The "Christian Right" is Neither." Immediately, I felt this primal urge to get out of my car (sitting at a stoplight by Woodfield mall in traffic) run up to this person's window to ask them about what it meant to them. I wondered momentarily if the truck was being driven by someone named Isaiah, Hosea, or maybe even John. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world, if it were my servants would fight for it." Do you ever feel like we, who spiritually have everything, spend way to much time fighting with the rest of the World over how they use what is theirs? I just don't see Jesus running a grass roots campaign to make sure that a more conservative Caesar get nominated to the Roman senate...
