I am grateful that our pastors are not overtly political. I could guess how they vote or who they support. But that would be speculation on my part. I am grateful that no matter who gets elected or who wins an election, it does not change who we are or what we do.
The Bible is not a guidebook on how to influence society. The Bible is a book about Christ from beginning to end.
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." Luke 24:27
So, instead of rejoicing or lamenting, let us look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Instead of gloating or threatening, let us hold fast to our faith in Christ.
"But he who glories, let him glory in the Lord." 2Cor. 10:17
Partisan politics, like football in Texas, is divisive and exclusive, and not worthy to be mentioned in God's house or among brethren. We have a living hope, not by who wins an election or who wins the Super Bowl, but by the resurrection of Christ from the dead!
Turn off your TV and you may find it easier to think clearer.
