One thing that I always keep my mouth shut about and don’t like to talk about is politics. Once in a blue moon I will bring up something that is political and even than, it’s a stretch for me.
In a time full of the unexpected, and during an election year, everything that is political is being shoved down your throat. We can’t get away from it. It’s everywhere.
In the midst of the craziness, I would encourage you to remember this verse: “Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.” (Titus 3:1-2)
That verse might cause a lot of people to feel a pit in their stomach - and I believe that’s a good thing. That’s conviction.
In a time where it’s so easy to not like or disagree with people of authority, remember that as Christians, it is our responsibility to obey the laws and have respect for the people in charge. I know that is hard for most people, but our relationship and unity with God and the church comes before anything that is political.
As Christians, our first allegiance is to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
