"Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yes, strife and reproach shall cease." Prov. 22:10
It is not a surprise that those on the political left are anti America and anti God and anti church. What is a surprise is that those on the conservative right politically are almost identical to their leftist counterparts. What also is a surprise to me is how many pastors and church members in our Fellowship are also anti America and anti civilization. I've heard preachers say that if God does not judge SF that He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. Really?
How can you say that America is a Christian nation built on a foundation of Christian values and then condemn it to Hell? Do you think that everyone in your church is going to Hell too?
This is why partisan politics is incompatible with the Gospel. This is why pastors need to stop politicizing their message. Turn off talk radio. God forbid you have a TV. For us the scorner is the talking heads on radio and television. Cast them out of your life.
"And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in it's peace you will have peace." Jer. 29:7
Instead of preaching hellfire and brimstone, maybe we need to pray for our country, our city, our president. Maybe we should let our light shine and not proclaim doom and gloom to fall like a shadow.
We are not trying to build a nation, we are trying to win souls. We are not kingdom builders, we are earth fillers.
