2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear
but of power and love and self-control.
Thank you for posting the music

We need to be honoring of God when we talk about the constitution of the USA. It is not a holy perfect document. It contains some formal methods for amending it, which is good, but that still doesn’t cause a source of amending to appear.
It is a daring adventure, however, in leading with “We The People.” No other country’s constitution in the world has put its general population on the hook like that one. None. Not one.
The only engine that will run such a country with a significant amount of Holy Spirit in it would be a population that is mostly worshiping in spirit and in truth — enough to then drive the necessary politics in the necessary directions.
And here’s where I have seen some TERRIBLE takes on this that have been masquerading as Christianity but, in fact, aren’t Christianity. Even Franklin Graham is heading down that road — meaning he forfeits an audience with the secular liberal half of the USA, in favor of a formal amen corner. NOT GOOD, FRANKLIN. YOUR DAD KNEW BETTER.
Still, God is larger than all of this folly. Donald Trump is probably a better conduit of the nation to Christ, by his general championing of Christendom (and Judaica). And he could do worse than have Mike Pence as presidential candidate heir apparent.
WE CHRISTIANS need to get our prayers right and theologically accurate. And we need to be ready to bear crosses, even some of them from Christian auspices (i.e. weak believers — and I will stick my neck way out and peg Franklin Graham as such).
Sometimes Jesus’ mention in words is outshouted by how our lives talk. Just saying.
Amen.
Amen to Every Word of your Beautiful, Power-Filled Prayer, Dear Servant of our King.
Joining you in Thanksgiving, Prayer, and Praise.
