Going by the rhetoric from both sides, tomorrow’s vote will be the Election to END ALL Elections!  So I thought I might suggest a solution that could put an end to all the hysteria and maybe save us all from the end of the world on Tuesday. 🙂

How much do you know about your government?  Thanks to the NSA they know a lot about you.  It’s interesting how a government of the people tends to reflects the values of the culture that they govern.  So if society turns away from morality and virtue, guess what’s going to happen to the government?  And this is nothing new.  In fact a guy in the Bible named Amos had a little something to say about what’s happening in our society today.

“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” asked Nathaniel.

Later the religious leaders said “Look in to it.  You will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”

There were people who doubted Jesus’ authority, because they saw him as a nobody from nowhere.

So did they have it right.  Is Jesus disqualified as the son of God because he happened to live in Nazareth?  Or does that all the more qualify him as a wonderful example for any person from anywhere to follow in his footsteps?

Listen to the message and see what you think.

And you thought you had it bad!

A large portion of Daniel 11 is dedicated to one man.  But he is not remembered for his brave deeds or his faithfulness.  He is recorded in Scripture and history as a despicable madman.  And he focuses his mad rage upon the Jews and leaves a bloody trail of wretched deeds behind him.

If you’re not satisfied with the government, just wait till you hear what this national leader did to his subjects.

Romans 8:1-4 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. ²And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. ³The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. ⁴He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.

Ephesians 3:7-12 I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the exercise of his power. ⁸To me—less than the least of all the saints—this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ ⁹and to enlighten everyone about God’s secret plan—a secret that has been hidden for ages in God who has created all things. ¹⁰The purpose of this enlightenment is that through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms. ¹¹This was according to the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹²in whom we have boldness and confident access to God because of Christ’s faithfulness.
