Evil has been repudiated!
Perhaps the people have finally seen through the lies of the
evil one. With the election of Donald Trump, begins a rejection of democrat
policies that have been leading this nation down the wide path that leads to
destruction. The left’s attempt to force feed insane, woke policies failed as
they tried to take too big of a bite of the apple, and the people have decided
a change in course was necessary. Just as many of our mainline denominations
have substituted social justice in place of Jesus, the democrat party has
strayed far from God. When the evil one speaks, they listen and incorporate it
into their party platform. As evidence of the left’s rejection of God, when
someone shouted “Jesus is Lord” at a Harris/Walz campaign event in Wisconsin,
Kamala Harris betrayed her true nature when she told him he was at the wrong place.
Additionally, she was the first Presidential candidate to skip the Catholic Al
Smith dinner in New York in almost 40 years.
We the people have elected a Republican President and
majorities in Congress. This new administration brings traditional values that respect
the sanctity of life, follow God, value parental rights, uphold the rule of law,
and oppose the mutilation of children. With the mandate of the people, they
have been given the authority to roll back the immoral policies that have been
blindly accepted by far too many. They have the power to end this nation’s
wandering in the wilderness, held captive to a leftist ideology that has unduly
influenced society. Now comes the hard part; Having the will to heal the
divisions and to bring this nation back from the abyss by passing legislation
that codifies a return to Judeo/Christian values. Pray for our elected
representatives to have the courage to stand strong for the Lord.
Even though those on the left have earned the ire of many
Americans and warrant retribution for the evil they have sown, that is not what
our Lord and Savior would have us do. Jesus said, “But to those of you who will
listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours,
do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them
do to you.” Yeah. Loving that neighbor with the pink hair and nose ring that
screams that she hates you and any other hateful, homophobic, transphobic
Christian that wants to take away her bodily autonomy. Quite the ask you say?
Without forgiveness, there is no reconciliation. Without grace
and mercy, there is no way to bridge that divide. Without extending that hand
of friendship, there is no opportunity for healing. If God can forgive someone
as wholly imperfect as I, we should be able to be the first to try to mend
fences. Try it. Harboring a grudge is giving the evil one a foothold in your
soul and elicits nothing but negative emotions. It becomes difficult to spew hate at a person
who reaches out in love. Instead of being argumentative, try listening and offering
non-judgmental instruction. It is easy to build a wall when you believe that
you are in the right and you are certain that the other person is wrong. Jesus called
us to make disciples of all nations. Do you want to be an impediment to someone
searching for themselves when what they need is a right relationship with our
Lord and Savior?
God loves all of His children unconditionally and more than
we could ever fully understand. Even that crazed leftist college student that you
believe lacks any common sense. There are always opportunities to profess your
love of Christ to the lost. Reach out with the love of Christ. That is what
this nation needs to heal. Policy decisions are in good hands now. Do not fan
the flames of division by gloating. Know that God’s hand was present in our
nation to give us a chance to right many wrongs and begin a revival in the
United States. Will you be the hands and feet of Christ or will you abandon
your responsibility to reach the lost to find Him?
