Five Things Which Are No Different About This Election from All Other Presidential Elections in Our History
by Douglas Phillips, Esq., October 5, 2012
The Scriptures are still the only rule of action for Christians.
The duty of believers at the ballot box is the same today as it has always been. We may only select leaders who meet the Scriptural requirements for civil magistrate. Leaders need not be perfect, but they must be quali
fied.
The obedient response of the elect of God to the Lord Jesus Christ and His law-word, not partisan politics or the results of presidential elections, is the key to national blessing.
The results of the presidential election, regardless of who wins, will work together for the good of the elect of God.
God is still on the throne.
Bonus Observation: The great and beautiful hope of tomorrow is the obedience of the Church in the face of opposition and challenging political scenarios. There is more hope for God’s blessing on America if the people of God do what is right before the Lord, then if if they check their consciences at the ballot box to gain a perceived short-term victory. Perhaps God will save the city “for ten’s sake. . .” (Gen. 18:32).
