@PerfInjust@AndrewTWalker I will visit gatherings this year in places where civil order to protect the church is not a reality. Dependent is the key word. A liberal democracy assists with civil order. The church is not dependent.
@AndrewTWalker I am reminded Leslie Newgibin’s “forecast” of the church’s missions intentionality to “Western Civilization.” Although an oversimplified statement - “both right and left have assimilated”.
@jdgreear A Liberal Democracy might be formed with deists (not Christians) having a loud voice at the table, and maybe that Liberal Democracy might establish a Bill Of Rights based on values that eventually protects those Christian church’s rights. Maybe.
@getnickwright Tomorrow I will await how morning shows spend more time explaining why the Jets and Cowboys are relevant than discussing how dominant the Chiefs defense is.
