Howdy. Seems to me LIFE is a caucus. Our appointed time and place to show up for the debate is the time we are allotted here on earth. Weather we want to realize it or not, we are presenting our side of the discussion 24x7. Everything we think, do, say, or feel flows from our fundamental assumptions. As followers of Christ, those assumptions reflect what we REALLY believe about Him and there are people who watch and are influenced by virtually our every word and action. If our assumptions about God are weak and diluted, that is the story we tell with our lives. If our assumptions are strong and concrete, does our life reflect it in such a way others can see it?

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. 1 Peter 2:12

Interesting thought, but this also occurs to me: the 'private' booth for voting could be seen as our prayer booth/closet. The Father sees us in secret, but it simply doesn't stop there, just as casting our primary vote doesn't stop there. To complete the process of good citizenship we must 'be' good citizens as well as voting citizens; so also as primary Christians we are called both to pray in secret and let our light shine before men. At times caucus Christians seem to enjoy the attention on the corner when telling people they should vote for Jesus, but the lack of feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, visiting the prisoner - perhaps living out their platform? - is just too much trouble.

Thanks for starting the conversation, Wayne.

We should all feel the urgency to get out and be decuples for the Lord for the time is growing near and we must be an example as well as spreading the Word.

Thank you for making these great correlations. Bless you

I think your blogs are very relevant. I enjoy reading them as well as hearing about your feelings about your recent activities. It helps me put everyday experiences into the perspective of Jesus and Christianity instead of just living worldly. It helps bolster up my attempts at serving our Lord.

Hey Wayne-great parallel. I love how you translate our faith in our daily life.
It seems 2Peter 1:10-11 is consistent with your right on view:
10Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and *election* sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
