I saw the series, and I definitely heard a message that is pertinent to us all - that we need to be aware, as individuals and as a country, of what is informing and filtering our decisions and actions. Government is made up of human beings who make decisions and take actions that impact each of us. Those decisions and actions are shaped by something...and we have a responsibility as Christians to include God in the conversation about what is shaping those decisions and actions.
I'm thinking his national conscience thing is his attempt at explaining absolute truth. it seems though, he is missing the point; that its not up to government to interpret Gods truths.
The devil wants Christians to start political wars against everyone with different opinions. The devil is winning. Growing numbers of people hate Christians and Christ because of big-oppressive-government Fascists. I guess Andy wants to take it upon himself to run Christ's kingdom through the American Federal Government until Christ comes back. Geze. Put your gavel down and take the hand of all the lost, hurt, and sick people that you've beaten with your Bible.
I watched his whole sermon on God and Country. Its very disappointing. The kingdom will never be achieved through politicians with laws, sticks and handcuffs, but through love, gentleness and respect. After all, it's God's job to lead unbelievers to repentance NOT politicians. It's our job -in government- to condition an environment that allows people to be free and make choices NOT regulate personal behavior through force. I never saw Christ doing that.
