"Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?" (Ecclesiastes 8:4 KJV)
"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God." (Romans 13:1 NLT)
You know by now how I feel about this election, as I have been an advocate for the rule of law, God's law, more than anything else. However, we have come to a serious crossroad, where there are major differences in the way some people see that laws should be enforced or carried out. Some laws are being ignored, while others are being enforced, even if they really don't exist.
Free speech was once something that was never censored, because it was part of the debate and a right that was established long ago; but we have torn that right, right out of the Constitution, without even having a vote! Hopefully things will get turned around, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't actually get worse.
Whatever happens, I believe there is justice being poured out; whether good or bad, it will always be for the good of the church! Before Covid showed up, everything was starting to get turned around; at least those things that made our Nation prosperous. But behind the scenes, and within the hidden bureaucracies, sinister things were tearing at the roots of our Nation.
It wasn't until we had to be locked down, that people started to pay attention to the wickedness that was hidden all throughout our government, especially our public schools. People started to realize that their kids were being captured by something they did not approve of; something that they never expected to be taught, let alone something to be hidden from them, as if they had no rights to know.
Then we had the privilege of living through four years of stupidity and chaos; where those who were called to be in charge, had really no right to be doing anything that they were assigned to do. And if they were doing it wrong, they were awarded for it, as if there was nothing wrong.
Help me if I don't know what I am talking about, because I could just be making stuff up! Who could possibly make up the stuff that has taken place over these last four years; but regardless, God is still in control! The question we must ask ourselves, as Christians, is how this has affected the church? Has it made the church stronger? or has it just made us more willing to get in line?
Maybe, just maybe, we as a Nation needed to see what could be, and the church needed what is: because The KING is coming, soon and very soon...
"You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!"
(2 Timothy 3:1-5 NLT)
