America is in trouble. The pandemic is killing us, there are riots in the streets of several major cities, the obvious polarization of the two main political parties is fueling hatred, and the mainstream media has such a left leaning that I can’t help but wonder if they are all communists.
Question what should a Christian do in light of all these things? The Bible says…
Romans 13 ( World English Bible )
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, attending continually on this very thing.
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” * “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
The chart at the top lists the core beliefs of the two political parties in the U.S.A.. To those Christians that may wonder which way they should vote in the upcoming November election I say to look at the chart and ask yourself: which political party’s platform best reflects the Biblical worldview?
Your answer will determine your vote! Choose wisely!
