Amen except to your last line, for we Citizens are responsible to not bury our talents but to act as diligent stewards, including careful watch over those hired in our service and sworn thereto.
“Amen except to your last line, for we Citizens are responsible to not bury our talents but to act as diligent stewards, including careful watch over those hired in our service and sworn thereto.”
It is true - and He who calls us to that responsibility is our only Authority. In this lies the true meaning of Freedom: we are responsible to God alone! For when we are responsible to God, we will be responsible to man as well in accordance to all the Holy Commandments...
Whether one is the voice of the exhorter, or the voice of the encourager, both are given as examples of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. And both, when called upon, must be ready to serve, whether in political forums or on the street, or in the voting booth; the Citizen Exhorter AND the Citizen Encourager, when responsible to Christ, will do their duty to the fullest extent.
But therein lies the SOURCE of our responsibility: if we are answerable to Christ, then we will strive to do all that is required of us - and more. And if He loved us so much that He should give His Life for all mankind, will He not require His servants to do the same?
