Okay…

So, since when was McCain God’s candidate?

I love reading the facebook statuses that now read something like “trying to remember that God is still in control.”  If you, Believer, are now deflated by the nation’s choice for president, then you have bigger problems.

God never promised that our government would save us, or was even for us.  In fact, scripture tells us the opposite.  I really did struggle with my decision to not vote but found peace about my decision a few months ago in 1 Samuel 8.  Israel decides they would rather have a king to put their trust in instead of their God; and He allows it, but not without warning Israel what they were choosing.

I accept that by most people’s standards, I have “no right to complain” because I didn’t vote.  I have no need to complain.  I have no faith in government regardless of race, gender or political party.  This election is in no way a “loss” for Christianity or the Church, nor would it have been a “win” had it gone the other way.  My faith is in Christ and his bride, the Church.

    Right on, man. Now if some of the negativity and threats of succession of Texas from the Union would stop – I’d be a happy camper.

    Miss ya’, dude!

    For SERIOUS. Dreadfully annoying day on facebook. And you are SO right! Since when was McCain-or anyone else for that matter- going to make this country “Godly” again. We should stop caring so much about politics and pray for the state of our nations soul.
