In more than twenty-five years in covering the political news, I've never seen a more divisive Christian community over a presidential election as I have in this one. (Or, should I add that one.)
Passions are inflamed. Mindsets are dug deep. Truth is skirted. Change is demanded, even if the change of direction is downward.
But particularly jarring is the Christian community. How can the body of Jesus Christ come to such a divide over this issue? Do Christians frame this election more around a physical context than a spiritual one? It would sadly appear to be so.
We have a female vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, who is a Holy-Ghost, Spirit-filled Christian, who can conceivably bring righteousness to the White House. So, why in heaven's name would anyone in the Church of Jesus Christ vote against the Holy Spirit in the White House?
The argument for all professing Christians stops there! There should be no more debate after this question. If you are a lover of Jesus Christ, you'd want the Holy Spirit in the White House -- period! Righteousness exalts a nation (Pro 14:34).
Are you more supportive of anything in the physical realm than you are of the Spiritual? Ask yourself what should come before the Holy Spirit in the White House? Is it your economic situation? Is it charisma? (don't worry, the anti-Christ will have that too!) Is it the color of one's skin?
What is it that would hold prominence over the Holy Spirit in the White House? It's important for all Christians to check their hearts on this one. I pray God's mercy over this election. Heaven help our eyes to be opened.
