    Part 2: ACTION

    • What would Jesus have you do if your team won/lost?
      • ANS: back to the tribes, poles and enemy love: the Jesus way necessitates that we pray for those who persecute us and “turn the other cheek”
    • GOING BACK TO BASICS: the 3 spiritual practices (ARE NOT DOING NOTHING!)
      • Silence, solitude, stillness, sabbath*
        • *in scripture I find God’s wrath aimed at murder as much as it is at forsaking the sabbath (ezekiel 18)

    • serving the city
      • EG trellis school mentoring/tutoring: those kids in our back yard are the ‘abortion statistic’! Go adopt one!

    Part 1: THOUGHT

    • Erre: The politics of jesus is not voting once a year; its voting everyday with your life! Thats the politics of the kingdom!
      • We “lost/won” the election now we have to wait another four years, two years (senator/governor) 
      • great plug here for the beautitdues and kingdom living 
    • Piper: Governments cant fundamentally change things because they never go heart deep...
      • jesus’ model is inside out formation (Williard on this too)
      • abortion... heart level societal change; not just legislative 
        • what if all the energies, lobbying and dollars funding the pro life campaign-NATIONALLY was redirected at SOURCE VS SYMPTOM 
    • how can we make our stance bigger than our issue?!
      • e.g. the left is “the party of abortion” the right is “the party of racists”
      • is “pro life” merely designated as abortion?!
      • thought exercise: can you find scripture for both parties OTHER stances...?!
