We'll have full election results breakdown / reaction on next Live Free episode, but some quick thoughts...
1) The Sovereignty of God over all things is a deep comfort. As the old Christian saying goes, "I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow."
“For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47)
2) It is sad and grievous. Romans 1 says God’s “passive wrath” is when he “gives them up” to their sin and evil desires – when He stops restraining a people from destroying themselves and lets them have the evil things they want.
The United States intentionally chose things like max-boosting infant murder up to the moment of birth, legislated sexual perversion that will wreak havoc on a rising generation, the expansion of Islamic influence on our nation, elected leaders openly hostile to Christianity, and in at least 2 cases (TX and Kansas) chose what the New Testamant would define as (and I do not say this lightly or flippantly) demonic, apostate false teachers to lead them.
This is an example of Romans 1 playing out before your eyes.
3) There is no political solution to a spiritual problem. Politics cannot fix what politics did not break, and Mankind was broken long before any political system.
The hope of the world has been and remains Jesus Christ, reformation and revival in our nation that has the ability to reach inside the chests of men and women and make them new men and women who want (and vote for) new things.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
4) Important lessons to be learned for conservatives. Wisdom would not be to blame *everything* on "dumb / evil voters."
Basic leadership: "Face the brutal facts (learn and adjust), maintain unwavering faith."
5) Sadness is ok, but despair is a sin. "Therefore, we DO NOT lose heart" (2 Cor 4:16).
Head up, chest out, knees down, glory up... do not grow weary in doing good, we build and fight (Nehemiah).
What are we going to do? Get up with joy in our eyes, love in our hearts, steel in our spines and keep assaulting heaven for an outpouring of God's Spirit, sharing Christ, planting churches, making disciples and deploying them in all areas of society in eager anticipation of the next Great Awakening in our land.
Tomb's still empty, y'all :)
6) We do what the people of God have always done in time of need: WE PRAY.
See you at Encounter tonight at all Lakepointe campuses at 7pm, doors open early for you to come and "pray for the prayer meeting."
@NJBeisner I don’t know how her husband is even coping with the clear mental breakdown of her very obvious feelings for Charlie. She’s eaten up with jealousy I can’t believe she hasn’t turned green….. she’s certainly turned Wicked witch.
@greg_price11 He’s an idiot. He clearly hasn’t ACTUALLY read the bible himself. Just because he grew up in church doesn’t make him a believer anymore than sitting in my garage makes me a car. 🙄
@BuzzPatterson Yeah…. She shouldn’t have married a soldier then. It’s scary, yes, but the military isn’t just a free college education. And the school children, her husband should educate her, but her TDS won’t hear it I am sure. 🙄🙄🙄
@kristalynnterry@conservmillen and then she went nutty and he distanced from her - he didn’t cut her off, but he did move
her out of the inner circle of confidant. I have had many friends move in AND OUT of my “inner circle”…her insanity is getting worse and people just keep marching off the cliff with her
@bluhue123 No he said seditious behavior should be. So is your message seditious? Or upholding the constitution- which outlines punishment for sedition, btw
@SaltyGoat17 24 hours before Trump’s post I shared the video and called it out as “calling for insurrection”
And some said “they said to defy illegal acts, how is that insurrection” as if the video wasn’t clear in its message… If you weren’t seditious, why do you think he’s talking to you?
@Jeanralston67@Cjpearson I can’t wait - i really hope the Epstein files aren’t redacted in any way and we all finally get the truth - I think most people are going to be so disappointed that Trump is the least of their problems
If Elon is an oligarch - then so is Oprah.
@TheJeadpool@Cjpearson He was elected, and his laws are passed by the same legislative measures (and EO’s) that every other President has used. - You may not like it, but he’s used the law to do what he’s doing, and it IS with the consent of the people - and what the people voted for.
@thebeckygriffin@realalexclark Candace struck first, do you think the same of Candace? Or do you continue to listen, UNQUESTIONING HER! SO HELL bent on thinking you know more than his wife, his family, his closest allies - why have conspiracy theories been so necessary before evidence has been presented?
@HonestD63@realalexclark Candace has struck first, anyone’s response is because people like you continue to listen UNQUESTIONING HER! SO HELL bent on thinking you know more than his wife, his family, his closest allies - why have conspiracy theories been so necessary before evidence has been presented?
@ZeeZee25183107@realalexclark And people like you continue to listen Candace UNQUESTIONING HER! SO HELL bent on thinking you know more than his wife, his family, his closest allies - why have conspiracy theories been so necessary before evidence has been presented?
@traddad1@realalexclark@SteveDeaceShow Anyone’s response is because people like you continue to listen UNQUESTIONING HER! SO HELL bent on thinking you know more than his wife, his family, his closest allies - why have conspiracy theories been so necessary before evidence has been presented?
