When a nation chooses to ignore God's laws and His very existence, evil will always be the result. So will knowing the truth and remaining silent for fear of offending someone.
It is true, the dems did cheer when they voted to take God out of their official platform at their convention, but I’m taking NO satisfaction just because the GOP didn't follow suite. Their actions (as a body) are disgraceful! They are not challenging homosexual marriage; they are not fighting the oppositions party's assault on our freedoms and rights; Obamacare etc.
God sees it differently in this Christ-ruled era.
Now we have a Savior who can not only correct the half-filled glass, He can overflow it.
I have dug deep into Christ and I don’t see a God of “tut-tut-tut” I see a God of “when are you coming home?”
You’re looking at stuff through Old Testament glasses and (face it) your own fallenness.
Christ is God’s bragging rights to grace. It is going to look different now. The persistently evil will be gone. But the “bruised reed and smoldering wick” will “not be broken and not be snuffed out until He leads justice to victory.” Justice meaning what happens when God applies His grace to the willing... not meaning how our behavior would have gotten us judged by Old Testament norms.
Everyone’s out of kilter here because they do not UNDERSTAND Christ. I understand Christ a lot better now. He dug me out of sin that must have gone down to the Moho, it was so deep. I’m bragging on Christ now, and to everyone who will listen.
