What about Bernie Sanders and Socialism?
Bernie Sanders may defeat Hilary Clinton and be the next Democratic presidential nominee. And he is openly in favor of socialism, unlike many progressives who try to hide their true ideology. So what should Christians think about socialism? I found this article by John Piper helpful. Your thoughts?
On a side-but-related note, one time a church member asked me if I thought Jesus was a communist. Here's my short answer. No, because Christianity is all about compassion, while communism is all about compulsion and coercion. How would you answer that question?
By the way, today is VOTING DAY for parish and state elections. Get out there and vote, Church Acadiana! Someone is going to get elected; let's make sure that God's people have a say in who that is.
