Separation of Church and State

(re-post from Sunday, August 24, 2008)

Several things came out of Pastor Rick Warren’s Presidential forum last week.

The first issue for me was how many Christians were ready to pass judgement before the event took place. Many were ready to condemn Pastor Warren for not asking tough enough questions before the evening started.

The biggest issues was a statement attributed to Pastor Warren….. he said that he “believes in the separation of church and state but does not believe in the separation of faith and politics.

That is a statement we all need to hear. I believe that our politics should be shaped by our faith. For too many I feel their faith is shaped by the politics. Frankly, if our politics are shaped by our faith, we do not need to have church in our government.

It is similar to the fight for prayer in schools. The reason so many want prayer in schools is because prayer was out of our homes before it left our schools.

Our nation will be changed when we live out our faith in every area of our lives without it being mandated by government.
