Politik - Coldplay

1 Peter 2:16-17

New International Version 1984
Live as free men, but do not use 
your freedom as a cover-up for 
evil; live as servants of God.
17 Show proper respect to 
everyone: Love the brotherhood 
of believers, fear God, honor the king


When Coldplay opens with "Politik", the first 5 minutes of the concert is amazing. 

I'm not sure of the meaning behind the lyrics but you can't miss the 
politics implied.
"everyone must find a place, give me real don't give me fake"

When it comes down to politics very few agree on everything. 
Differences in opinion can sometimes get heated. Hey...let me tell 
you a little secret
...if you don't like being challenged, you may want to keep it to yourself.  

You can disagree-without disrespect
Peter knew the importance of the early church witness...
to be God fearing...and to be noble citizens as well. 
Personally, I refrain from speaking any disrespect 
toward elected leaders, even if I disagree with them.
Can you share your conviction without putting someone down?
