Religion and Politics – Psalm 37
A Subtitle for this message could be: “Christianity is in our National Interest”. In the dated American tradition of 'election sermons', Jedediah Morse is quoted as saying: “To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys.” In contrasting illustration, the continent of Africa has instituted some 500 plus constitutions in just 60 short years... What is the difference between this kind of instability and an enduring republic? Ps 37 tells us exactly. Let us listen, learn, and worship as we hold ourselves to the standard of this poetic manifesto from the magistrate/musician!
