Yep it’s true! But democracy protects us from bad kings, and that’s why generally we don’t like the idea of kings if they are rulers (we like the royals because they have limited power). The truth is that the people are right – there have been far more bad kings in history than good ones and as Winston Churchill said; “Democracy is the worst form of government – except all the others!”
Winston Churchill, like the rest of us was far from perfect – just like democracy. But he sure was right about this form of government and many other topics. Check out his views and understanding of Islam for instance and make sure you’re sitting down – something our modern Christian leaders (and secular ones) would do well to study as he had before they open their mouths.
He was right and as such we live under wishy-washy democracy where some leaders venture into areas of selflessness – but never do we find what we really want and dream about in a king; someone that is not interested in fame and fortune, who serves the people first and himself second, and who gives us all jobs and feeds the poor and hungry! That’s what we all long for inside.
I wonder – does any man in history fit that picture? The King of The Jews perhaps? It seems as if God knew the answer to the worlds problems beforehand. He would have to rule it himself but he would let us give it our best shot in the meantime – if only to see that man – at least non-divine man is simply not capable of escaping the corruption that total power always brings to anyone that wields it for any length of time. It’s the reason politicians (at least in the US) are only allowed to serve a limited number of years and the Constitution was drawn up. Come Lord Jesus!
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
