As Americans we need to be well-read and well informed in order to intelligently participate in our democratic republic. This applies to Christians as well because our Christianity is not just a "compartment" that is accessed on Sundays; our Christianity should permeate and affect every aspect of our lives-including our citizenship. So, as a Christian who loves God, and an American who loves America, every once in a while, a political post may appear here on this blog, as I observe the current events and news of the day.
Challenge Question: Who wrote or said this quote?
"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions."
(I apologize if a certain person comes to mind when you read this quote)
No, it is not anyone from Fox News.....
It is a quote from Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
Isn't it interesting how truths from the era of our Founding Fathers still resound with clarity.
