Yes it’s great that it may be representative of the nation as a whole, but it is the very thing that the enemy uses against us. That tension created between Muslim and Jew, Christian and Atheist, Black and White will not be eliminated simply because they feel they have representation. I would even argue that it could bring further polarization between the elements especially if they feel one sector is benefiting more than another. This current election testifies to that!

Heck even Christendom testifies to this fact! Look at the diversity of beliefs within “Christianity”. To be a “Christian” was (and maybe still is) a cool buzz word not too long ago. Anybody was claiming to be a “Christian”. So now when the unbelieving hears someone claiming to be a Believer, they automatically dismiss them. People who truly are modeling there life after Christ time and time again have to deal with this… guilt by association.

What I am NOT saying is that Christians SHOULDN’T be involved in the political process. There are many Believer’s employed in this sector. But I think involvement should be tempered by the fact that… DEAD PEOPLE DO WHAT DEAD PEOPLE DO!

Jim I think you’ve made some excellent points!

“What is good for the United States is Christ. There is no other good, for others look for provision for their material needs and despise the One who provides. Our churches have been compromised and the Truth is diluted with our political delusions. If biblical and world history is any indication, the United States will most likely devolve into tyranny and the Church will be purified through persecution for a considerable season. God will be glorified in this.”

I concur!

I believe that Believer’s should participate in this political system based upon their convictions. But not through coercion, intimidation, fear or demonizing! For God’s will shall be accomplished! That is the overriding issue for me, I vote according to my convictions and rest in the fact that no matter the outcome, God’s will be done!

The Church who represents Christ’s campaign so to speak, shouldn’t be campaigning on Hope, Change or America first. Christ’s campaign slogan could be what He and John the Baptist cried… “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”

Selah!

I Ain’t Nobody!
