Comments on: Is the Church To Police Society? Part 7 http://requisite_danger.bluecastle.us/2008/08/29/is-the-church-to-police-society-part-7/ Requisite Danger is a record of the journey I am taking with God through this life. It is full book reviews, church history, theology, world missions, current events and the occasional random thought.

Both ‘Christian huddle’ and ‘withdrawing from government’ are negative in my view.

To me, a “Christian huddle” is where the Church tries to control everything around it so that none one in the huddle see any ‘sin’. A lot of times this means controlling the society around the huddle by passing governmental laws forcing people to act like they want them too.

Withdrawing from government – well, that’s basically withdrawing from any interaction with the government, which is silly since we live in a world with governments… I believe there is more of a middle ground. =/

Yelp. Society should see that the Church is different because of how we live. The Church should not force society into believing or acting a certain way.

My so called Christian beliefs affect my involvement from friends, neighborhood, work, church, city, state, nation, and world. (more so now in this digital world. seeing as how I can recognize handles as being the same person even though they are on several unrelated sites of interest.)</p> I’m thinking that the difference between the “shining to change” and “changing society by shining” is like the left side and right side of the same horse.
