The media is full of the Conservative political hand wringing and the Evangelical “crocodile tears” over the wickedness of this nation. Blogs proclaim it and the Fox media covers it. Does God buy it? Should He buy it?
Our recent interest in abortion, the hand wringing over homosexual “marriage” are motivated by our own self-interest. The Tea parties grow loud in volume and numbers protesting taxes – gun control- socialized medicine – bailouts. We see our financial house of cards come apart as unemployment rises and our homes decline in value.
Churches in Detroit pray for an auto bailout while GM spends 40 days in bankruptcy.
Suddenly we reach back to the morals and values of the founding fathers – Liberty, Justice and prayer in schools. and loudly we protest Government intrusion. Church attendance grows and like the weeks following 9-11, we suddenly look up.
I have news for you – The Messiah was set up – framed and tried and then murdered by the “Moral majority” of His day! The same voices that protested the Roman occupation and Antiochus attempts at “assimilation and the removal” of the traditional Jewish faith cry today over the equal status given Muslim and Pagan religions, in this country. Like them, the “Conservative Christian right” looks back to the glory days of David and Solomon, in this young nation.
The moral majority of this day will again murder the messengers of that same Messiah, as did the moral majority of His. He looked to Kingdom not of this world, and for those reasons He said my followers do not fight. He did not choose sides and proclaimed truth to Roman Governors, Zealots, Priests and Harlots equally. He had no interest in the politics of His nation, and delayed His future kingdom, to eager followers.
Just maybe Yeshua read the scriptures promising that all the kingdoms of this world are headed for destruction, and all our hand wringing is but changing decks on the Titanic. The same Moral Majority wants to use God to further their end. God will not be used, for any end, but His own. Else He would not be God.
We Christians will not be judged on our health plan, our private gun ownership, or our position on immigration, but did we live right? How much filth came into our home via TV and media, as we sat down tired after a long day protesting at the Capitol? Our homes are war zones – our kids abandoned, but we loudly protest “gay marriage.” Does God see our behavior in our marriage as any more “righteous?”
God sees the hypocritical protestations of the Christian right, is just that. If a sinner like me can see it – I assume Holiness can. His agenda was and is and will always be
Rev 11 v 15 – The world’s kingdoms have become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and He will rule forever.”
I suggest the “Moral Christian Right” prepare for that.
