Corrupt democracy

1 Corithians 15:33  Do not be deceived; evil companionships corrupt good habits.

The Bible teaches us many things, the most important of which is that the things of God should be the most important to us. In order to achieve this it is also sets out rules of behaviour that will not only bring this about but the peace in society be maintained. Democracy is unable to function where the norms and practises of Christianity are disregarded, as democracy was the result of Christians bringing about a form of government that promoted such norms and practises.

Sadly to say that because of political party politics and the deviation of true democracy a corrupted form of democracy is only found today. The reality is that the government that people have is the government that they bring upon themselves and in all cases the minorities will bear the consequence of such government. When the internal squabbles of a political party threaten the stability of the community that they represent, it then becomes a national issue.

As Christians we are part of the communities that we find ourselves in, and our role is to bring the norms and values of our faith.

Be encouraged today to pray for the society we are in.

 

David

Point to ponder: We are Christians in our community.
