POLITICS!

With the election of a President less than a month away,  I thought I would delve into what "Politics" is and where the term came from.   Some people say it came from the words "poly" which means "many", and the word "tics" meaning "blood-sucking parasites.   A more straight-laced definition is found at Wikipedia.  "The word politics comes from the Greek word Πολιτικά (politika), modeled on Aristotle's "affairs of the city", the name of his book on governing and governments, which was rendered in English mid-15 century as Latinized "Polettiques".[3] Thus it became "politics" in Middle English c. 1520s (see the Concise Oxford Dictionary)."

"The affairs of the City" is what politicians SHOULD be concerned with.  But most politicians are concerned with their political career and NOT what is best for their constituents.    

In Ephesians 3:8 The Apostle Paul, recognized by some as the greatest among Christians says  "To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ". 

If Paul considered himself the "very least of all the saints", where would he fit into today's society?  

Christ Jesus lowered Himself to the cross for my sin!  If I am to be "Like Christ" shouldn't I be willing to do the same? LORD continue to mold and make me into what YOU desire me to be.
