05/10/23 THERE IS ONE PRIORITY

If we turn EVERYTHING in USA back to conservative, moral, family and freedom friendly rule, without Christ, USA is still lost.

We should vote for these qualities and we should vote against godless, Bible hating Communism and Communists, but salvation and godly living is obtained, attained and retained through a submissive, faith relationship with the God of the Bible; it is not obtained, attained or retained through political powers; it is lost when we align with political powers that oppose God. Political powers can either encourage and support Christian living or undermine and attack Christian living.

This is a wicked world and this world is not the Kingdom of God, therefore we will not see the King until the King comes back. However, we are the salt of the earth and we must be faithful to God and His word if we are going to be a positive influence in this world. When a person loses his spiritual saltiness, he is good for nothing... but to be cast out and trodden under.

We live in the world, but we are not of the world.
We must not love the world or the things of the world, because if we do, the love of the Father is not in us.
We must not be conformed to the world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Expect to be hated by the world.
Expect the State to oppose God and His people.

Our warfare is not carnal (fleshly), but spiritual.
Our weapons are not fleshly, but spiritual.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers.

Even if we could get all the earthly benefits we want through the State, we cannot get salvation or spiritual victory through the State. 

I am glad when the State and when society recognizes Biblical truths, but it will always be a short lived recognition.

Remember, we are to obey God rather than men.

Christians are told to obey legitimate authority.
When obeying humans or human rule contradicts God, we must obey God instead.
