Dominion over all

A friend sent me a link to this article… Homeschoolers: Recapturing the Culture One Million Converts at a Time

I’ll admit, I haven’t finished reading it all the way through yet. I got sidetracked when I read this:

Every square inch of the planet is the Lord’s, and His people are expected to take dominion over all of it through inspiring leadership in every sector of society.

I have to ask:
Why didn’t Jesus encourage the disciples to run for office? Why didn’t He encourage them to stand up and fight the Roman soldiers when they came to arrest Him? Shouldn’t they have had dominion over that situation as well? Why didn’t He encourage them to stage mass protests in the street against the Roman authorities or even the Jewish authorities?

Why do we keep thinking we have to change all the laws so we can win? Why can’t we just live out our faith in such away that people will be drawn to Christ?

Oh well….. I digress. Guess I should try and finish reading the article before I start criticizing it….
