Stronger Than Mountains

 The Bible says that faith is stronger than mountains, so we must keep faith no matter what, because sooner or later almost everybody faces some trial or stern test.  Our closest friend or friends may desert us, we may come to devalue ourselves after some humiliating loss, or many losses, we may suffer physically or mentally, and even our belief in God may be tested sometimes, but despite all we must endure, as the Apostle Paul reminded us to do.  In politics, it is faith that could lead activists and politicians to do what's right and moral even in the face of apathy or unpopularity.  That's not the easy path, but we have to remember what are we in politics for: to improve society or for self-gain and glory?  Or for all of those?  We need not ask which is the better answer, because we know very well the answer that Jesus gave us.
