In listening to the news lately, there seems to be the feeling that we are in for a change this November, and some even think that there will be a turn around and the House and Senate will come back under Republican control, and the failed policies will be repelled.
But if the last several administrations is any indicator, there is not much difference from one another--they support the same things.
The coming November election will not cure, nor even begin to cure, the $14 trillion debt that Congress and the White House have run up in my name, my children’s name and my grandchildren’s name.
Any move from the socialists agenda that has been going on for the last 40 years, but more prevalent in this administration, is not going to happen over night, or in one election. And it may very well not change at all, because of the fact of the rapture and tribulation period, spoken of in God’s Word, is very near!
Christians across the land must understand that the nation is not in the shape it is in because of politicians. It is in this degraded condition because of the people who elect the politicians. In this country, we have a choice of our rulers, and as Christians we should be choosing candidates that align with God’s word. Trouble is, the two party system that has become the norm, often chooses candidates that are so similar that many voters are placed in the precarious position of choosing between what we call “the lessor of two evils.” This is why we must get involved at the local level. Get involved by becoming members of the central committees of the parties and have a say in the candidate selection process.
We also must get active about the judiciary and legal process. St. Augustine once wrote that an unjust law is no law at all. How many laws do we need? How many laws are unjust? How many judges are unjust? A law is unjust when it does not match up with the laws of God. America’s system of government was derived from the system put in place during the Exodus from Egypt. Genesis 18:21 describes the system: “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rules of tens.”
This was the organizational principle on which the entire government of the United States was predicated. We see in this system of representation how the Founding Fathers established the forms of government from federal-- Executive, Judicial and Legislative bodies-- to the state and the local systems of government. There was a requirement, however, in administering these laws. Those in leadership positions needed to be “able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.” In other words, moral and Godly people were to be in charge of administering the laws.
This is where we have failed in our personal walk with God, in not ensuring the character and quality of our lawmakers.
We must begin again now. It may become too late if we “continue to halt between two opinions just to be politically correct!
It sure looks like a good day to fly!
