Is there a choice? Can we choose between the two candidates? Will we pick the one who is so forceful about reproductive rights (the right to kill the most defenseless little ones), or shall we pick the one who thinks its okay to grab a woman’ genitals, if you are famous that is—or to lessen it, if you must, to think its just men’s talk and that is okay. Shall we pick the one who was willing to prosecute a journalist for revealing Planned Parenthood’s business of selling baby parts. Or shall we pick the one who encouraged a mob to attack Capital policemen with flagpoles and bear spray, while watching on TV for several hours without attempting to stop it.
Shall we vote for the party that’s willing to let a sovereign state be attacked, its people murdered, its children kidnapped, its women raped—willing to let Ukraine disappear like they and the Baltic states did in the time of Stalin and Hitler.
Shall we vote for a party whose fringe is willing to let the bombs of Hezbollah, Hamas and others fall constantly on a sovereign state, Israel. Who do little to prevent the harassment of American Jews. Do we have any choice? What is our choice?
If you are a Christian, no, in this matter, you can vote or not, but you don’t really have a choice. You are doing the best you can as an American citizen, but it isn’t a good choice whichever way you go in political matters. Don’t let anyone tell you, “You are not serving Christ if you don’t vote for this person or that one.” Know this, you belong to Jesus and to His kingdom and nothing can separate you from His love and care.
Yes, Jesus calls you to be faithful, to love those about you, to care for those who have needs, to stand for those who are being oppressed, to be in His word and in His place of worship but you are not judged by Him for your vote. America is not the Kingdom of God.
“What shall we say to these things? If God is for us who is against us?
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered him over for us all, how will He not also with Him give us all things?
Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies.
Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes rather was raised. Who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Just as it is written,
“For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities. Nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8: 31-39).
