POLITICS DEMANDS INVOLVEMENT

For many, politics is a dirty word,
Of dishonesty and power absurd.
Misused and twisted, self-interest reigns,
Propaganda spreads and truth refrains.

The temptation to avoid it is strong,
To disengage, and to avoid the wrong.
But politics, despite all its sin,
Demands involvement, so we must dig in. 

No Christian can afford to hide,
Community needs us to decide.
For without politics, we’re left alone,
Victims of fate, we’re on paths unknown.

Effective politics forms the heart,
Of every community’s vital part.
It provides structures that protect and guide,
So that we can all live side by side.

Community depends on this,
A shaped future, not hit or miss.
To gather, celebrate, and educate,
Politics always steers our common fate.

By Medard Laz

But politics, despite all its sin,
Demands involvement, so we must dig in.

    Thousands of years ago a young Chinese emperor called upon his family’s most trusted advisor. “Oh, learned counselor,” said the emperor, “you have advised my father and grandfather.

    TURN THE OTHER CHEEK In the halls where power sways,Where voices clash in loud array,A figure stands amidst the strife,A politician, versed in life. With words that cut and promises deep,He speaks to those who dare to weep,Yet when the stones of scorn are thrown,He turns his cheek, a stance well-known. “Forgive,” he says, with…

    Jesus in the Beatitudes says, “Blessed are the peace-makers for they will be called children of God” (Matt. 5:9). When Jesus says this he is turning your world and mine upside down.  Most people are PEACE-KEEPERS and not PEACE-MAKERS. In our families we strive to keep the peace at all costs. “Don’t rock the boat.
