If the Church Is An Ass…

…all it would take is a large enough carrot, and the enemy could lead us wheresoever he wants us.

You see, the devil could promise us a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, or 100 Republican Senators and 435 Republican Congressmen or -women and conservatism all around….

…and if we are so easily-led based on who promises what pertaining to one issue, such as abortion, and we fail to examine the rest of their record during the political off-season, when they are not stumping…

…he could slide in agenda after agenda of control and an increase of the military-industrial complex with a side-helping of the increased police state as was started in 2001….

…and we would not recognize it until it was too late….

Indeed, my concern is whether we are on the right side of an issue because we have been lulled into a place of being controlled by….our emotions, our convictions, or a divided personality.

There is only one thing to which we ought to yield control: our King.

And in His authority, we should walk in circumspect understanding and realize that, this is not merely about controlling a majority of the government machinery.

Rather, it is about winning a majority of the hearts of humanity.

We haven’t learned yet how to walk as Wilberforce, and we have not yet learned the skill necessary to have those hundred million conversations.

And we desperately need to learn how to converse. And that well.

A clear-eyed war for the unborn is not won at the ballot box, or even in the high courts of men.

Rather, it is won in the tenderness and affections of men.

We must learn afresh how to appeal to heaven with greater force than we appeal to men.

And we must learn now to break free from the siren song of promises that litter our election seasons, and discern the spirits of those running, for I fear we only hear what they say they claim to believe, when our vote is on the line.

It’s time to adopt a different strategy for handling the issues.

Just my take.
