I will be glad once this presidential election is finished. It will be a glorious day to not have to hear or see another political advertisement. It will be even better to not have to heart the many disagreements taking place within the Kingdom of God. I could care less who is president, but I need to care more about what the church is doing to change the world.
In the Old Testament the Temple was the intersecting point between the presence of God and the presence of humanity. Ironically, in the New Testament, Paul calls the church the Temple of God. So, what Paul is says is that the church is the presence of God within humanity.
With that as a background, I would like to see the church start doing acts of restoration on troublesome issues, rather than complain about legislature. Maybe if the church actually did something, other than vote, like pray or act, we would not be worried so much about abortions.
In any case, I am excited about this Wednesday it will be a time of relief and hopefully of the church growing closer together. Politics may be a tool of the enemy used to divide, rather than unite. I pray that we may be one, just as Jesus and the Father are one.
