people from every nation, tribe and tongue will be gathered around
the throne of God and of the Lamb. The end to which all things are
heading is the restoration of relationship. That gathering begins in
this life when people who carry the message of the Gospel go and
make disciples of all nations. Should we not then take the time to
recover both the priority of relationships and the priority of
evangelism in our own lives and in the communities to which we
belong?
Political turmoil also shows that the political agendas of our nations
are not entirely controlled by our political leaders. There is so much
western influence on our politics, shamelessly insisting on alien
practices such as advanced human rights. Our governments are
pressured to compromise on issues that previously would not have
been considered: progressive liberal sexuality, abortion on demand,
reproductive health information offered at a troublingly young age,
etc. The West does not necessarily know best. Where possible we
must explore avenues for a greater Christian influence on politics.
