[…] I receive regular emails from LICC (the London Insititue for Contemporary Christianity) whom I would recommend for some of their comment on current affairs and cultural issues. Mark Greene is especially good. I was pleased to see that they were recommedning a book that I reviewed on my blog back on 6th September 2005 called God’s Politics by Jim Wallis. He is presently on a tour of Uk to promote his book (including in Manchester but I unfortunatelky won’e be able to get there!). Although my review makes clear that I have some reservations, I think this writer and activist has something to say that needs to be heard. Fans of George Bush on the relgious right won’t like him, but he offers a genuine call away from the polarisation of left and right to a truly prophetic vision that makes a call for both personal righteousness and social justice. I’ve copied the content of email from LICC below: God’s Politics […]

I am a British man living in Grand Rapids Michigan and i am very interested in politics, and i have found that politics and Christianity don’t mix very well. That is why it is good to keep Church and state seperate, because only God can tell us what to do, even as we submit to the authority of the world because God put them all in place. I am not a fan of Bush jr. but i have heard some Christians say that is you don’t vote for Bush then you’re not a Christian. That sucks, i can’t even vote out here, and i probably would not have, i don’t know!! It’s all too political for me, and too me it is all Public relations and with that it is most insincere.
Peace T Lloyd i love your web page, and if you came to Grand Rapids i’d love too meet you. Maybe i’ll speak to our pastor Andrew Hughes about getting you over, he is another Brit like us!!

More and more I am convinced that if Christians can get the balance right between Obeying God’s word and being a voice in the political arena then they will affect the greatest change in the worldwide arena.

I think about the men alive today who are men of God who make a difference in the countries of the world by their affiliations with politicial powers, eg. Reinhard Bonnke, Benny Hinn, T D Jakes, Billy Graham, Yongi Cho, Ray McCauley, to name but a few. These guys actually influence decisions in countries and they are called upon to bring the wisdom of God.
But I don’t believe that you have to have a mighty signs & wonders ministry, or a church of a million members to be in these positions. You do have to think like these men, BIG!. I love the Gavin Whites of this world and Blair from Cardiff who have a bent towards this area and I am always encouraged in talking to them that they honestly believe that they can make a difference.
Wishy washy is what the world expects from christians in politics. we need real MEN & WOMEN, the Daniels, the Isaiahs, the Esthers the Queen of Sheba, those who have the anointing of the Holy Spirit who can herald a call to the nations of the world whether that be in Brussels, Capital Hill, or Westminster.

Stop! Hammer Time.
I got carried away there :~)

The prophet is a hearld of the plumb line, “The spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ” and I pray so much for God to send harvesters into the political arena to reap the white harvest that is most evidently present in that field. C’Mon!!
