At CTV we couldn’t agree more with Charlie’s message to the world, anchored in his faith in Jesus, that we MUST engage, keep talking, in the public arena – clearly, with compassion and truth.
So what does “engaging” as a Christian in the public arena look like?
- When our values are being dismantled by a bill in Lansing, do you CALL or WRITE your Legislator or Members of the State School Board or other agencies? They HAVE to hear from us or they think all is just fine.
- When elections come, are you voting for the candidate who represents your values? Do you ask your pastor to talk about the issues and in elections to consider taking our CTV voter guides?
- Do you financially support candidates who you align with? And/or support organizations like ours that take the time to teach/train and do endorsements of candidates so you may have a guide?
Charlie showed us how our words as humans are powerful. In election years, your support of candidates and voting is equally powerful or our values will NOT prevail.
It takes 50 + 1 votes to pass a law and the same to elect a candidate!
William Bennett recently wrote, “Is the cost of having conversation so high that capable, principled people retreat from public engagement entirely?” I pray not.
Friend, you are needed in the arena now more than ever before.
Romans 8:28 stands true that, what the devil meant for evil, God is using for good. Now may we be faithful in utilizing this awakening well! We hope you can get more involved with us!
