Having seen a great opportunity for change in the last election fail, many are asking “Where Do We Go From Here?”. One day Christ will return and clear away all the corruption around us, but until then, God expects His people to redeem the world around them. Before we can do that, we have to know how to do it. God showed us the plan, all we have to do is follow it. Man without God is like a baby who wants what it wants, when it wants it. He must have the law to control him, just as a child needs to learn discipline. Liberals think children can decide what is best for themselves, but only when it benefits the liberal cause. They know that children can be easily confused or deceived because they haven’t learned how to govern themselves. Man must learn to do what is best, not what he thinks is best. What he thinks is best is what is only best for him. Even when man considers the needs of others, it is designed to benefit him. Not just any law will do. Making laws alone won’t do it. Man-made law is subject to man’s control and is designed to benefit those who make the law. They make the law and can change it or ignore it when they want or use it to harass those who stand in their way as those seeking to corrupt our government are currently doing. That is why God gave His law to the Israelites. God’s law was made by God and only God can change it. Even the king (or president) is subject to the law (Like Samuel informed King David). However, laws alone won’t do it because man seeks to get around the law if he can, to get what he wants. Jesus came to show us a better way. The best leader is someone who knows the love of God and is guided by the Holy Spirit to do what is best for everyone. No one is capable of ruling over others, regardless of what liberals tell you. That is why the framers of the Constitution designed it so that the people are the ultimate rulers in America and the politicians serve at the people’s will, and under their direction. However, they observed, and rightly so, that it would only work if the people at large knew God and served Him. We are seeing what happens when the nation turns away from God. The people select leaders to rule that will benefit them personally. This leads greedy politicians to give away money to buy votes, which we are seeing now. The recent vote showed that many voters are seeking politicians that will benefit them personally, not ones that will rule wisely for the benefit of all. Many voters in the last election indicated they believed the promises of free money and voted for candidates promising to give it to them, with no thought that they are going to have to pay the money back in taxes, with interest. To get back to where we need to be, God’s people need to turn back to God and seek His will. God’s people then need to select politicians that will seek what is best for everyone, not just themselves. They must be politicians who themselves seek God’s will and respond to the will of the people. They must enact laws that control those who don’t know God to keep them from hurting others and that allow those who are guided by God to serve God freely. They must be politicians who will apply the law fairly, not just in a way that benefits them. Then God’s people will be free to win souls to serving God through their example and through preaching the Word of God. Preaching alone won’t do it for there will be unbelievers who don’t know God and must be restrained by the law until Christ returns and removes those who don’t serve Him.
