Seriously? Nineveh, Nineveh, Nineveh.! Look at the voting record of Romney and Obama. The choice is anti-Christ or anti-Christ lite!
Funny you should mention Nineveh. If you read the 4th chapter of Jonah, he basically went into a tantrum because God didn’t act the way that Jonah thought he should act. God causes a shade plant to grow to protect Jonah, and then a worm comes and kills the plant. God teaches Jonah the lesson that God is sovereign, will act how he chooses to save whom he chooses.
I wonder if we can’t apply that lesson here. Mitt Romney is not the way I hoped that our country would be fixed. I’m not happy about it. When it was clear he would get the nomination, whale vomit wasn’t far from my mind. But I’m not going to go sit on the beach and pout and say I wont accept it because its not how I thought it would happen. Not because I dont have faith...but because I do. The Bible that you and I read is FULL of God using absolute pagans to achieve his purposes (Ba’alam, Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus just to name a few). I certainly believe he can use Mitt Romney. (not that I’m equating Romney with a pagan, but just making the point that God can and has used FAR worse men).
Having faith in God doesn’t mean I have to sit on my hands, or wait for the perfect guy to appear. It means having faith that if I do my best with the choices I’m given, I can trust God is for me, not against me, and will work things for my good.
Perhaps you could explain your Nineveh reference for the people who don’t understand it...
