Inside the Beltway
The elections are like superbowl Sunday in DC. But the stakes are so high because so many NCCers work on the hill. It's more than an election. Their jobs are in jeopardy every election cycle.
NCC is about as diverse as you can get politically. We've been very intentional since day one about not turning the pulpit into a public policy lecture. NCC is apolitical.
Don't get me wrong. We talk about issues that some people consider political, but the truth is they are spiritual. So it's not that we don't talk about issues. It's just that we're very careful about respecting both sides of the aisle because we're about split down the middle.
Quite a few NCCers lost their jobs when their bosses lost their elections last night. Just mindful of them and praying for them today.
There is so much cynicism outside the beltway about what happens inside the beltway. And certainly some of it is justified. But I have come to respect the people who work day in and day out on Capitol Hill trying to make a difference.
Just felt like paying tribute!

Mark, thank you for this post. Your sermon last week, I think, is apt to this situation. When your son asks how big God is, you can surely tell him that He's larger that the Democrats and Republicans. Combined.
