WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? WANT TO SEE CHRISTIAN VALUES FOR OUR NATION, LOCALLY OR NATIONALLY? HERE’S HOW! START A LOCAL GROUP OF THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLES ALLIANCE PARTY, NOW!
Have you noticed that in the UK or even in your local area, people’s freedom to practice their Christian faith is being stopped by legislation or employment regulations? Perhaps it has come to your attention that freedom of speech is being threatened by Parliamentary Bills and laws being passed! Do you want to see a nation encouraged to turn back to God and embrace Christian values? Imagine a society that values people above money and compassion above self interest! For too long, the UK has been limited in vision to a 3 party system of government. “It’s always been that way, so that’s the way it has to be!” Well, it doesn’t! Our 3 party system has worked well in the past when backgrounds were mostly loosely based on Christian philosophy. However, today, few of our politicians have much sympathy for the Christian faith and the result is that they are leading us further and further away from Christian values for our nations. That is why I believe as do many others, that it is time for Christian democracy to raise its standard to lead us to scripturally moral decisions that will direct our nations policies.
You can make the difference! Here is how. Pray about how your community and church can express the love of Christ in the political arena. Ask the Lord if there is a contribution that you can make. Here are some ideas:
Start a local group of the Christian Peoples Alliance in your area.
Stand as an Independent in the elections in 2010 (either to be a Local Councillor or an MP )
Stand as a candidate for the Christian Peoples Alliance party, for the Local Council elections or for the General Election
The CPA is a relatively new party and certainly new to most of the UK. Therefore, we need to build up the membership and awareness of it right across the UK, if we are going to be effective.
Please pray about this. There is absolutely no force from anyone to do this. However, it is certainly an Appeal, to which I hope some will feel able to respond. I am attaching a file from the CPA, which has suggestions and advice on starting a local group. To be effective in the next elections, local groups have to be established NOW and immediately research their local area and local needs. I propose that when one identifiable need has been established, that the group can then set about organising a petition to their local council, or some similar activity. This will raise the profile of the CPA in the local area, so that when it comes to the local or national elections (most probably in May 2010), the public will remember our contribution.
You may of course be one of those Christians who goes by the old addage, ‘politics and religion don’t mix’! Well, to those brothers and sisters, may I leave you with this thought to ponder. Has this philosophy been successful in leading our nation and its political parties, towards moral values consistent with the teachings of Christ or are we now witnessing the demise of our country’s moral standards and a diminishing respect for human life…for instance the drift towards euthanasia for the elderly, infirm or unhappy; the lack of conscience towards civilians in invasions, so called ‘collateral damage’?
Please find the uploaded file on advice for starting a local group of the Christian Peoples Alliance.
God bless all ! We can make a difference by the grace of God!
