P.S. We are hosting prayer meetings for the nation every Sunday in our home for an hour; first one was last week. We were amazed how God led us to pray for leadership. I blogged about this, but will share just a thought from it: Several of us were convicted of bitterness towards the current administration, and were reminded that we are Obama’s and Romney’s priests (1 Peter 2:9). That we are to pray for them, and that God desires to see them both in fellowship and true knowledge of Him.
Didn't mean to be so verbose...Blessings! And the rest of the blog is here if interested: http://wieldinghisword.blogspot.com/

The political scene discussed is the UK one, but it applies to most "Western democracies."


In all seriousness, a few years ago I read a book by David VanDrunen called "Living in God's Two Kingdoms." I highly recommend it as it outlines a way of thinking about how the church (and Christians) should interact with the wider culture.
I recently finished his follow-up book, "Politics After Christendom." In this one he builds a framework (centered on God's covenant with Noah after the flood), with which to build an appropriate appreciation of the differences between sacred and secular.
Check them out and let me know what you think.
Does that even make sense? LOL - I'm looking for a book about politics that takes a look at all sides w/little or (preferably) no bias. For the past several years, I've been really fed up with our two main parties - mainly the lying about eachother or making extreme exaggerations for the sake of making their own party look better (don't even get me started on FOX news). Now, I get called a liberal by some because I don't side w/republicans on everything, although I consider myself to be very in the middle. I'd like to read something from a Christian viewpoint that may relate to how I'm feeling.
