We’ve been pretty quiet. But there comes a time we must speak, lest we be thought to be in agreement. After the events of 2016, we quietly watched in utter shock the deception of the masses take place. We were never politically involved, but we could not believe what we were watching. After 2 years and seeing things getting more and more out of control, we decided to retire. Because we loved people. All the people. Dems, republic, independents, it didn’t matter. And our voice was silenced. Our message was forgotten. Our hearts were broken.
You see politics are just that. Politics. Until…you bring the Name of Jesus into it. Then it’s not. Then there is a STANDARD that comes with His name. The sermon on the mount, love God, love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemies, feed the poor, clothe the naked, care for the orphans, widows and prisoners. You know that whole love thing that God just..IS.
When former Christian pastors, evangelists, prophets, and church attenders become those who prophecy falsely, support a complete lack of character, and cheer leaders mocking the very gospel that gave them life, we cannot be silent. We watched a video of a state representative saying on stage at a Bible college, that if Jesus had had enough ARs the government couldn’t have killed him. Are you kidding me? Why did no one speak up! Why on earth did they applaud her?
And we watch with eyes wide open as these leaders are constantly being exposed for corruption and moral issues.
It’s that STANDARD we mentioned earlier. You see, when you bring Jesus into your politics, you’re bringing the light of the world. And light will do what light does. Reveal what’s in the darkness. Not as a judge, but as light.
And shining He is! Empires and emperors are toppling, things hidden are being revealed, and those who have ears to hear are hearing.
So we are asking you to join us. In prayer. In listening to the Holy Spirit. In worship of the ONE who is worthy of our worship. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Read the red letters. Read the epistles. Remember the God Jesus introduced you to. The Father who has reconciled the world to himself. The love that believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. The love that never fails.
There was a song years ago by Don Francisco about the people of God in a cave, in their living rooms, not in assemblies, just waiting to hear the Lord speak. We think that’s where we’ve been. In a cave. But we think it’s about time to come out.
