We attend Phoenix First Assembly of God, and absolutely love to be a part of such great world known ministry. Our church has developed a system in which people can interact with minded-like individuals. There are small groups called “Fusion Life Groups,” which meet on Wednesday nights and are primarily related to a particular topic of interest. Now, I know that most Christians, when they hear the word “Small Groups,” feel as though it is all about a bunch of crazy radical people trying to find friends, weird outcasts, or simply do not feel that they fit in with anyone in their groups, this is one of the reasons why our church implemented these topic-based groups, so members can have a sense of belonging. The series for this month is called “Welcome to the Real World,” hence the title of this post.
Marie, my siblings and I are considering becoming a part of the leadership of such ministry (Life Groups). We realize that, while the 130+ groups have covered most topics, there is one that has been neglected, perhaps because it is very controversial, nonetheless, extremely important in the society in which we live; that is “politics.”
We are seriously considering leading a group for people who are into, or want to learn more about politics; despite of the fact that we are of no erudite nature, we strongly believe there is an enormous misconception about politics in church (generally speaking), not to mention the need to teach politics from a Godly perspective. We know this is a challenging task, but we truly think it is absolutely worth the effort. As Christians, we have a serious responsibility in taking a part of our nation’s governmental decisions, actions and beliefs. We will be held accountable by our future generations, should we give these responsibilities little thought and leave them in the hands of the secular world.
A lot of Christians are confused and simply decide to either ignore politics or take a neutral stand because they don’t understand, others have never been educated or exposed to politics, or have been brainwashed by the bias media. The problem in America is that we are deviating from our conservative principles and have become accustomed to the political correctness wave.
Our Nation was founded on Christian principles, therefore it is imperative to take a stand as believers, and not let the left wing infiltrate worldly ideals such as: communism, socialism, big government, dictatorships, and so on. These issues are extremely serious, and Christians MUST have a clear understanding of the importance of such issues. Some believe politics should be left outside the church, whereas, we know our Founding Fathers were strong believers, and it was because of their impeccable Christian foundation that God allowed us to be set free from our oppressors.

hi girl! I love this post and everything you said!
So you figured out how to put up a song? It looks ugly you must erase it and re-do it again and choose the vertical layout instead of horizontal. I think?
Nice John; you need to continue this road of writing and expressing your believe in politics and conservatism. I am looking forward to your next post.
:)
That sounds like a really good idea for a small group. I know the Ph. family would love it.
