If you really want to change the world, follow Jesus’s example and stay out of politics.
We have this dumb idea of how change happens these days. People think change is getting a certain person elected. Or change is getting a certain law passed. Or winning a Supreme Court case. But that’s garbage.
Change is not some benevolent majority of 51% dragging the other 49% along through government force, but that’s what politics is all about.
Real change is about changing people’s hearts. But all the red versus blue stuff does is close people’s hearts. Elections are almost specifically designed to keep people from being influenced by each other.
It’s dumb. All the money and energy put into politics is money and energy that is not actually helping this country. It’s just stuff thrown into the void of the same pointless conflict we’ve had for decades.
If you want to influence people, you need to step away from that. It’s like when people tried to drag Jesus into a political issue on taxes. He just side stepped it because He had more important to talk about.
