Corrupt politicians make politics corrupt. Now, if I were asked to try politics, I would right away say No! As a born-again Christian, I must seek first the approval of God and not that of men. A born-again Christian will never be popular and will never succeed in politics in a nation like the Philippines in these current corrupt times. This nation is suffering from a spiritual gangrene which only God can heal. No man and no well-meaning politician can heal this land.
So I would just leave politics to those who can afford to lie, to conceal, to deceive, to flatter, to hoard or even to steal. Others may claim that they are not into dirty politics. Well, I congratulate them. But unfortunately, they are a minority. And speaking of corruption, the Church is not spared from the contagion. And here lies the challenge for all truly God-fearing and God-honoring Christians-- the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and walking the talk.
"All that is necessary for the forces of evil to succeed/triumph is for enough good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke
ReplyDeleteI think if we consider ourselves Christians, we must do something about it otherwise our country will just be like a Sodom and Ghomora where there is no hope. I think there is hope... It starts from the heart of compassion that will lead to action...That's what I think.
