Daniel Vestal: Seek first a Christian witness

The Shreveport Times This is an excellent article to get a good perspective on the death of Jerry Falwell. It is well worth reading if one is interested in a different perspective and Danny Vestal's article says it much better that I can. Here is a snippet for the brief article:

"In contrast to seeking a "moral majority" which seems to have the connotation of partisan power, it seems that as followers of Christ we should seek to be bold witnesses, humble servants, compassionate ministers in our society. We should not seek to control or impose but to be faithful to our Lord who promises "to make all things new." Of course this will mean engagement in the political process and public advocacy as well as prayer and worship, but not in a way that so clearly identifies the eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ with partisan politics."
