A word to Jesus-followers this morning. I’m not talking to those who’d simply check the Christian box on a questionnaire about religious beliefs. I’m talking today to people who regularly seek to walk in obedience to Jesus Christ. We are in colossal need of wisdom from above.
A thick cloud of confusion, chaos, deception & seduction has settled on this nation. We need to be able to see through it & we cannot do so without seeking the Lord urgently & diligently. It’s election season when “we the people” notoriously beg to be bought, flattered & lied to.
Behold the madness of the situation before us when gospel people -followers of the same Jesus Christ revealed by the Spirit in the canonical Gospels- are faced with choosing between the unborn & the born. It’s absurd. We value ALL life or we are utterly clueless about the gospel.
The world around us may tear to pieces and choose 1 person’s value over another but we are not people of the world. We are the people of Jesus. We need in these critical days to look up & down, not left or right. We look UP to the throne of grace & DOWN to the pages of Scripture.
The most crucial thing we can do in this season or any other is hold tight to our gospel witness. We will cast our votes like our fellow Americans but if we do so without tremendous prayer, humility, sacrificial love, wisdom & care, we will deny Christ in our hour of temptation.
