Kindred,

Do you really think life is about power or power of Caesar?  

If you believe it is about power, then what happens after life?  

Where does power fit in then?

Acquiring power, material wealth or anything really at the expense of another in harm or abuse is a sin and serves no purpose in the Lord's Design.

Where does power, glory and ambition fit in salvation?  

It doesn't.

Life is about passing tests of character as you fulfill your purpose (as assigned by the Lord) in stewardship of humanity and the earth.
