Greetings and blessings to all of you. Would not our lives be much less difficult and embarrassing if all that God acquired of us was to attend church on Sundays and intellectually assent to some theological ideas while essentially living as the rest of the world lives? Why don’t we want to acknowledge the evil that is taking place even though most of us are aware of it? That is how evil continues to prevail. By the silence of the church. Isaiah 5:20 said it best, “woe to those who call evil good and good evil who put darkness for light and light for darkness who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” We know “government cannot save us- only God can. We never read in the New Testament of Jesus or any of the apostles expending any time or energy schooling believers on how to reform the pagan world of its idolatrous, immoral, and corrupt practices via the government”. Voting is like a tool with prayer to keep evil at bay. History is littered with the remains of once great empires; each one wanting One World Power. These anti- God powers of the world crumbled; evil systems and empires such as Egypt in the days of Exodus and Assyria or Babylon or Rome all came to an end. Then came the Nazis. They moved across Europe trying to implement Communism, Socialist and Marxism. When it seemed that there was nothing that could stop the evil ….it also collapsed. Why? Because God is sovereign and faithful and continues to protect those who are his own. God is never early but He is never late as the Israelites discovered at the Red Sea. Nations do not really die they dissolve a slow process of erosion and decay from the moral degradations. They self- destruct due to disintegration caused by the evils and dangers that the Body of Christ feel more comfortable ignoring. They forgot God and His Truth….just like the church today. But the Body of Christ today can vote as Jesus would reflecting what God loves and believes such as… the value life in the womb, to cherish the sanctity of one man -one woman marriage, to strongly oppose calling men women and women men, affirming parental authority, unabashedly supporting Israel and the Jewish people, having a desire to have a secure border, get back to Romans 13 to protect its citizens against lawlessness, honor and respect religious liberty, and love our nation. God love the nations who follow Him including America and blesses them if they walk in obedience to Him. Deut. 11:27
With the Love of Christ
