P.I.D. Radio – Christ First, Or Country First?
How can you tell the difference between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of man?
It’s really not as complicated as modern American evangelicals have made it out to be. First, you unplug the T.V., turn off the radio, and shut down the computer. Then you still your heart, search the Scriptures, and ask God alone to speak.
You have to completely set aside any thoughts or opinions that are parroted over and over again from the government, mainstream media, friends and family, your favorite political commentators, and especially… your own mind.
Listen for the Holy Spirit alone to convict you according to the Word of Truth. That is the only place you will find answers that you can truly rely upon.
In regard to the torture debate, I have to ask myself one question: If the Bible and the Spirit of God were literally my only inputs (no mainstream media, government officials, political analysts, T.V. shows, newspapers, movies, Jack Bauer, or anything else), where would my convictions rest?
If I put Christ above country, do I end up with torture, or something radically different?
Derek and Sharon Gilbert from P.I.D Radio break down their thoughts on this topic in the 3 min., 2 sec. audio clip that follows. I must say, I completely agree with their commentary.
