“For followers of Christ, present politics can never be as important as the cross. . . But just as followers of Christ recognize how much greater God is than all our earthly striving, so too must we be restless in the cause of social justice to which we are called by Him. Only then can we align ourselves with His purpose. Budgets are not mathematical equations – they are moral expressions of who we are and who we seek to be, as individuals, families, communities, and as a nation. This Easter, as an expression of our love for Him who gives us life, let us hold our elected leaders to a higher standard.”
Daniel Weeks, past president of Americans for Campaign Reform, from an article titled “To Whom Do They Answers?” at God’s Politics: A Blog by Jim Wallis and Friends
