Moral Conservatives, Socio-Political Radicals

Since that Ted Haggard story broke out, I've been checking out the response in the secular and christian world. It's been interesting to say the least. The world sees yet another high powered hypocrite. The church loses yet another soldier. Many have questioned why the church wants to set itself up as morally superior, considering the sins of biblical figures such as Adam, David, etc. But if we don't ATTEMPT to live morally superior by the grace of God, then what's the point. Sure we'll all fall now and again, and some of the consequences of sin will be devastating, but that doesn't mean we stop trying. Which leads me to this. I believe we are called to be moral conservatives BUT socio-political radicals. Jesus was a socio-political radicals. He railed against the Pharisees, but didn't want to bring down the Romans. Yet, some of his messages were interpreted as such. But he remained a moral conservative. But his ideas were revolutionary. So beyond the failures of Christians, prominent or not, we continue to fight, we continue to journey, we continue to live under grace, and speak the truth of Jesus, which is love.
