1. By all means, Christians are meant to be engaged in the political process. Through the prophet Micah, God continues to tell His people, "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." But our hope is in the God revealed in Jesus alone. #Election2020
2. Remember Psalm 146:3-7: "Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing...
3. (Psalm 146:3-7, cont'd.) "Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—he remains faithful forever...
1. A friend shared this over on Facebook. I like it.
By the way, I'm a lifelong student of History and got my undergraduate degree in Social Studies Education, which is mostly history.
2. There has never been an election in the history of the Republic, so far as I know, when the results were certified by the respective states on election night. County election boards and state...
3. ... Secretaries of State, the chief elections officers in the respective states, are, overwhelmingly, particular about getting things right.

2. "...No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,and I will raise them up at the last day..." (John 6:40, 44)
These are comforting words, originally spoken to a disbelieving crowd who wanted Jesus to be a king who did their bidding, like modern-day...
3. ...political candidates pandering for votes. But Jesus wasn't out to win a popularity contest. He was offering all of us more than "a chicken in every pot and a Maserati in every garage."

That’s why we need Jesus, God the Son. He fulfilled all of God’s commands perfectly and bore the punishment we deserve on the cross. God the Father raised Him from the dead. All who repent and believe in Him share in Hus resurrected life.
