Forget Happy Holidays. Lets talk about Congress this Christmas.

From the article:

That’s why we believe that Christians should set aside time amid the Christmas bustle to reflect on Congress.
Talking about public policy may not seem like a festive activity, but it is sorely needed. In 2017, many in the halls of power misrepresented and mislabeled those in need. People who struggle were often painted as lazy, dependent on the government, and responsible for their own problems.

2. Sad that they don't get the point.

But Christmas reminds us that this is not how God’s sees those in need. They are simply our neighbors and we are called to care for them. Whether it’s because of health or job circumstance, family difficulties or personal crisis, many Americans need additional help and support.

There are probably about a hundred million Christians in this country that DO believe god wants them to help others - BUT they don't believe god wants them to use the government to provide that help. It's really that simple. That's why none of this will matter to those Christians. They think charity and churches can do it all. Those are their sincere beliefs, and you'll never prove them wrong because FAITH.
