Faith in Man
According to a recent AP-AOL poll, Jesse Jackson and Condoleezza Rice are considered the top Black leaders:
"Jesse Jackson and Condoleezza Rice get the top support among blacks asked to name the nation's 'most important black leader,' according to an AP-AOL Black Voices poll. Next come Colin Powell and Barack Obama. "
I must tell you, I’m tired of seeing these types of polls. Why is it that we don’t see polls on the "most important white leader"?
As a born-again Christian, I know that due to the fallen state of man, all men are fallible. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Since this is true, I do not put my faith or trust completely in the hands of any man nor woman. I like what one person said in the article when asked who he thought was the "most important black leader":
"What is 'the most important black leader?'" asked Thomas Miller, a 59-year-old political independent who lives in Philadelphia. "You have to lead your own self, don't put that on anybody else. Putting faith in somebody else is blind."
I fully agree with Mr. Miller’s analysis, especially about blind faith. The only One we should put total faith in is the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone is infallible and not prone to the temptations of a sinful and fallen world.
