This LCMS president has brought politics into our faith more than any president during my 62 years as a member. God is the author and final judge of His Law! Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world." No one is being FORCED to take a pill, or disobey any of God's Laws; but we all do disobey every day, and always will because of original sin. This is why we are in need of the SAVING GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST, and must constantly strive to truly repent, and "turn out lives around"; NO MATTER WHAT THE SIN! President Harrison, either pray and fight just as fervently FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LITTLE OR NO HEALTH INSURANCE, or give up your LCMS position, and run for public office. There are many poor, sick, and destitute people in in this country who are dying. Many of them would already be dead if it were not for Federal government programs; the same government that you insist is taking our freedoms. Churches and charities cannot take care of everyone. DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE HEALTHCARE? ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WELL FED, CLOTHED, AND SHELTERED? You live in a FREE nation, and have the power and opportunity to speak for the unborn; and that is a blessing. Will you also use your position and voice to speak for the "LEAST OF THESE, MY BROTHERS", as Christ commands; even if it means agreeing with a DEMOCRAT, who supports those in need who have already been born? This focus on political issues, while ignoring the meaning of TRUE FREEDOM, represented by Jesus Christ, is DIVISIVE. Preach, "Christ Crucified." Jesus said, "Love one another." We must be bold in out witness, but if we do not "speak the truth in LOVE"; we are "clanging gongs", who become so divided by POLITICS, that Christ's Great Commission becomes obscured. We live in a society that is primarily composed of TWO political parties; there are Christians who align themselves with BOTH of these parties, whether or not President Harrison believes that. He will NOT dictate how LCMS members will vote on civil matters, and is NOT the perfect, supreme judge or ruler over individual interpretation of Holy Scripture by faithful Christians; who happen to be LCMS LUTHERANS! Again, I say, if our LCMS President desires to run for Civil, Political Office; he should do so. Perhaps, then the LCMS can elect a leader who will focus on the Kingdom of God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as he is CALLED to do; rather than the kingdom of the world, and the political machinations of men!
