I am very disturbed at how Christians in the
United States of America, align their faith with certain political parties. God
is neither Democrat nor Republican. Both parties have some very egregious
flaws. Democrats are NOT committed to the advancement of the black community.
And, Republicans are NOT the moral compass of the nation.
Politics aside this is truly not a victory
for the governor. Sin is not a victory. Adultery is not a victory. Here is what
the Word says about such gloating.
1 Corinthians 5:1 Amplified Bible (AMP). It is actually
reported [everywhere] that there is sexual immorality among you, a kind of
immorality that is condemned even among the [unbelieving] Gentiles: that
someone has [an intimate relationship with] his father’s wife.
Now, I can hear someone saying that,
“well he’s not a part of the church.” But, the Word and God’s standards
apply to EVERYONE whether they are a part of the Church or not. This is why
John the Baptist confronted wicked Herod over his adulterous relationship.
Mark 6:18. For John had been saying to Herod, "It
is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
Well, isn’t that judging? We do not have to
judge. The Bible by itself judges what is wrong and what is right. And, those
standards go for you, me and everyone else. God cuts no corners with no one.
1 Corinthians 6:9. Or do you not know
that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex
with men.
So, no, this is NOT a victory. This is NOT a
time to rejoice. And, SHAME on any “Christian” who would consider it a victory.
This case leads people to think that you can sin and get away with it. NOT SO.
The Word is yet right!
Numbers 32:23. "But if you
fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that
your sin will find you out.
Nahum 1:3. The LORD is slow to anger but great in
power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the
whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
