POLITICAL SALT

Adding spiritual salt to the meat of politics... in the pursuit of good government.

 

"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt,
so that you may know how you should respond to each person."

- Colossians 4:6

This "voice in the desert" is born out of a heart to see Arizona and our nation return to God. Along with friends who join with me to contribute experience and insight in the pursuit of good government, we will address many of the difficult political issues of the day. Through November 7, this will also serve as a blog for "SIEGE I" and "SIEGE II" times of prayer and fasting for good government, restoration and revival for our state and nation.

Immigration #1

If an issue ever needed the wisdom of Solomon, immigration is it. We need to be informed and pray for our government. Pray against inflamed passions that so often exude name-calling and labeling, and rob us of reasoned and considerate dialog.

Read President's Bush's speech and here is another link to discussion on the immigration issue. When we consider an issue like this, it is important to separate the "sympathetic" from what is true, right and compassionate. Sympathies, though they feel good and appeal to the politically-correct mentality, can lead to dangerous short-term solutions (or no solution at all) that fail to address the deeper long-term issues of a matter. May cooler heads (but not cold hearts) prevail.
