May we be Truthful, Attentive, Faithful, Well-Informed, Respectfully-Tactful and Prayerfully-Thoughtful.. when Conversing with Others about Politics etc.
We live around division in our Land today, but not as much as the media wants us to believe we do (In the U.S. they SO want you to think our top leader is failing you. He ain't.).
But you know there’s an ongoing battle for the minds of the people and for the next generations too. It’s fierce and getting more fierce.
Let’s be that way (kind) as we share the Gospel and talk about how wonderful Christ is as well. This is more important, because people will exist forever in one of two places and life here is pretty short really.
Here in the States today we cannot be co-opted by the Republicans or the Democrats (like with the Deep-State, and there’s been so much corruption on both sides and obviously far more on the Left as they keep supporting felon-level criminals), but we must keep the main thing the main thing. We have bigger fish to fry so to speak (walking after the Spirit, sowing to the Spirit in the Word, in getting His Gospel out to people who don’t yet understand it. Yes, this is far more important than religion.. than man’s philosophies or politics etc).
Encourage everyone in your own sphere of influence to pray biblically, to know the Lord well, to serve Him well, and to vote biblically instead of merely voting along party lines well. This is good and this is how it’ll go well for our Lands. It’s cuz we care for the people of every Land!
As Christians here, we are to live in a fine balance; boldly standing up for that which is 100% true…not mixed with error.. and it’s good for the people.. while we’re seeking unity amongst ourselves whenever it’s possible. This is so important!
Sure, standing firm in our biblical-faith (not with know-it-all puffed-up attitude or all self righteous inside..) while showing His practical kindness, patience and grace to those who do not yet believe in Jesus Christ.
While holding our leaders accountable, while praying for their wisdom, guidance, and well-being. Man, so many on both sides need to start doing what’s right and best for the people. Yes start!
What should we do? Come to Him daily, learn of the Lord and walk humbly in His word. Walk in his power, in His victory and in His love. I say we meditate up on the words of Ezekiel 22:30, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”
You and I can turn (repent), fully trust in God through Christ, and stand in the gap prayerfully lifting up those in our nation today (of course for the families and leaders). We can give Him thanks, praise and approach before the throne of God and pray that He continues to work in our midst.
