SAVE AMERICA: RE-ELECT NO ONE!

Just a few more ramblings brought on by my reading “Confidence in God in Times of Danger,” by Alexander Carson.

If God is God, and if we believe He can protect His people even under the worst dictatorship imaginable, then it would seem that so-called civil liberties really do not provide any safety for His people, or anyone else for that matter, without the immediate and direct protection of His almighty arm. Our protection is not in the Constitution, which has been violated time and again since the War Between the States, our true protection comes from God graciously ordaining the liberties we enjoy to serve the establishment of His Kingdom. This means the true Christian has nothing to fear in any country and under any government. If we are called to suffer in the near future under a dictator, we must remember it will be for God’s glory and our good. All of this then seems to imply that Christians must honor even the most worthless men in power. Even a socialist President, one giving the country away, in the end is to be honored, not worshipped, but honored as the leader God has placed in office. And if God should will that this same wicked President persecute the people of God, we must understand God is good and the sin belongs to the persecutor alone. The President might be wickedly gratifying his own evil dispositions, but ultimately he is fulfilling the appointment of God, Who ordains all things. God makes the plans of his enemies to establish His own agenda. Our true safety is in the Lord and in counting all things but loss for the sake of knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. This is also more reason to pray for our President and leaders, because if no one brings them the true gospel of free and sovereign grace, then these men who have actively opposed God’s people will suffer a Christless eternity in Hell. Let us pray that God might be pleased to raise up a whole new crop of truly righteous leaders, set apart by His saving grace, and committed to following the Lord Jesus Christ.
