The anxiety is palpable as the body of America’s populace struggles with weighty burdens. The underpinning disquiet of humanity reveals a movement in plate tectonics. There is only one conflict, there is only one disagreement, there are only two sides to the same argument. Some would turn this to a conversation of politics in order to misdirect the true dilemma, “From where does our provision come”? The enemy would have us concentrate on any other source than God the Wellspring of Life in the Universe. These travails are deception, misdirection and disinformation.
I am not called to preach self-help, psychology and the benefits of social ascendancy. My task is not to codify the foundational righteousness of one political affiliation and the hollow frailty of another. I am to preach the Coming Glory of Christ Jesus the King and to that heraldry I remain rigidly aligned. I come with a two-edged sword that, “cleaves soul from spirit” because that is the true battle. The soul, man’s own desired fulfillment of worldly passions or the Spirit, man’s eternal-nature, perfectly aligned and residing in, with and through the works of God. Who does any man or woman serve? You either find your hope in pursuits and victories of this world under the umbrella of a variable, one-hundred year time limit or you place your hope in the eternal Truth, Perfection and Achievements of God.
Have you noticed that during each election cycle the “undecided” group of voters gets smaller as a percentage of the population as a whole? Here is hypothesis which I know to be truth as it resides in God’s word. There is a direct correlation between the undecided vote and the undecided gentiles who have yet to make a proclamation of faith in Jesus Christ. There are only two sides to this argument, either man believes that he is entirely capable of solving his individual and all the worlds problems himself or he understands that he has never been capable of such an act and ascribes his hope of deliverance and salvation to God. The two-sides reality of global politics further supports the imminence and nearness of Christ’s return for His church, judgment and rule. This is God’s countdown to the moment when His patience will have been fully exercised through grace. At some point in the not-too-distant future this world will have been given the time to make a choice and there will come a shout not unlike that of an Arch Angel declaring the return of the king for love and reign for all time. God be praised in the Mighty name of the Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ the King. Amen.
