On those long bike rides across the American countryside, what will I say to people who start chattering about politics or social issues?
I’m sure it will vary some depending on the context, but if anyone really wants to know, I’ll give them the thesis of the Unseen Realm. The Lord will guide my lips in the situation, but behind it will be the assurance that all politics and social activism is is from the Devil, a distraction from what really matters.
What really matters? Try this:
Look at the lyrics:
Amazing Love
Graham Kendrick
My Lord, what love is this
That pays so dearly
That I, the guilty one
May go free!
Amazing love, O what sacrifice
The Son of God given for me
My debt he pays, and my death he dies
That I might live, that I might live
(Last time only) That I might live!
And so they watched him die
Despised, rejected
But oh, the blood he shed
Flowed for me!
And now, this love of Christ
Shall flow like rivers
Come wash your guilt away
Live again!
I find myself singing it quite often. This is what really matters.
