Do we suport the leaders whom we believe will put into practice what
Jesus taught…..or do we, in fact, walk away from them because they
might interfere with our personal “lifestyles.”
About 4 or 5 years ago, I turned on the TV news and A week
later, I was astonished to learn that the country voted for
the candidate promising a tax increase. So extraordinary was the result
that a
U.S. network sent a reporter to interview the citizens. I will never
forget the comments: “How could I sleep at night if I knew someone was
denied health care because of my vote?” “Healthcare, certainly as important as education, should never be denied to anyone.” Voting for tax increases to assure the poor would be taken care of in the same How many Christians have walked away from Please view:

heard that one of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark, I believe, was
in the midst of an election. Their healthcare system required
additional funds. 
One politician
advocated cutting down
on the services, while the other promised he would increase their taxes to
keep their health care system as is. I laughed to myself. There was no question in my mind who would win. Nobody gets elected promising tax increases.

their pocketbooks. Think about it.

Think About It……
Shouldn’t we be preaching what Jesus taught? Or are we, clergy, afraid that too many of our congregants would walk away?
View some of these videos on this topic:
Let's start with what Jesus did teach?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uasjRvevFFo
I wonder what would Jesus say about the condition of so many children in the wealthiest nation in the world?

What would Jesus say about the devastating poverty in over half the world. Statistics on world hunger and children with gruesome pictures to wake us up to the reality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oTwFSsL8cI
Dare we preach what he taught on money: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoi9IpXBliw
Perhaps we need to reconsider our values. Look at this video on the happiest country in the world. It certainly appears that this nation that claims an extremely low church attendance, seems to be living many of the principles that Jesus taught……and loving it! This is the country that voted to increase taxes for all its citizens! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTGKUwMegZ4
As of 7/10/09, the U.S. ranks 50th in life expectancy according to the CIA Factbook, just above Albania. I read on the Cisco blog: “Universal health care is health care coverage that is extended to all eligible residents of a governmental region and often covers medical, dental, and mental health care. These programs vary in their structure and funding mechanisms. Typically, most costs are met via a single-payer health care system or national health insurance, or else by compulsory regulated pluralist insurance (public, private or mutual) meeting certain regulated standards. Universal health care is implemented in all but one of the wealthy, industrialized countries, with the exception being the United States. It is also provided in many developing countries and is the trend worldwide. Why is it that the USA, where 87% claim Christian affiliation, can't afford healthcare for Americans and Cuba, Peru, Mexico, and every industrialized nation in the world can?”
