We'll have full election results breakdown / reaction on next Live Free episode, but some quick thoughts...
1) The Sovereignty of God over all things is a deep comfort. As the old Christian saying goes, "I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow."
“For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47)
2) It is sad and grievous. Romans 1 says God’s “passive wrath” is when he “gives them up” to their sin and evil desires – when He stops restraining a people from destroying themselves and lets them have the evil things they want.
The United States intentionally chose things like max-boosting infant murder up to the moment of birth, legislated sexual perversion that will wreak havoc on a rising generation, the expansion of Islamic influence on our nation, elected leaders openly hostile to Christianity, and in at least 2 cases (TX and Kansas) chose what the New Testamant would define as (and I do not say this lightly or flippantly) demonic, apostate false teachers to lead them.
This is an example of Romans 1 playing out before your eyes.
3) There is no political solution to a spiritual problem. Politics cannot fix what politics did not break, and Mankind was broken long before any political system.
The hope of the world has been and remains Jesus Christ, reformation and revival in our nation that has the ability to reach inside the chests of men and women and make them new men and women who want (and vote for) new things.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
4) Important lessons to be learned for conservatives. Wisdom would not be to blame *everything* on "dumb / evil voters."
Basic leadership: "Face the brutal facts (learn and adjust), maintain unwavering faith."
5) Sadness is ok, but despair is a sin. "Therefore, we DO NOT lose heart" (2 Cor 4:16).
Head up, chest out, knees down, glory up... do not grow weary in doing good, we build and fight (Nehemiah).
What are we going to do? Get up with joy in our eyes, love in our hearts, steel in our spines and keep assaulting heaven for an outpouring of God's Spirit, sharing Christ, planting churches, making disciples and deploying them in all areas of society in eager anticipation of the next Great Awakening in our land.
Tomb's still empty, y'all :)
6) We do what the people of God have always done in time of need: WE PRAY.
See you at Encounter tonight at all Lakepointe campuses at 7pm, doors open early for you to come and "pray for the prayer meeting."

Do not despair.
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed. Persecuted, but not abandoned. Struck down, but not destroyed."
2 Corinthians 4:16

En los últimos días han llamado la atención dos imágenes.
Primero, el 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗼𝘀 (Gironda, Francia), que permaneció en pie tras el devastador incendio que arrasó la zona.
Después, en el 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 (Italia), una escultura de Cristo tallada en un olivo muerto por la Xylella sobrevivió al fuego mientras el paisaje a su alrededor quedó reducido a cenizas.
¿Son milagros? La Iglesia siempre ha sido prudente antes de llamar “milagro” a un acontecimiento. Y nosotros también deberíamos serlo.
Pero sí hay algo que estas imágenes nos recuerdan.
El fuego puede consumir bosques, templos o esculturas. Lo que nunca podrá consumir es el mensaje de la Cruz.
Cristo no vino a prometernos una vida sin llamas. Entró Él mismo en el sufrimiento para vencer aquello que parecía tener la última palabra: el pecado y la muerte.
Ver un crucifijo en pie entre las cenizas es, al menos, una poderosa imagen de esa verdad: cuando todo parece perdido, la esperanza cristiana permanece.
Porque, al final, no es la madera la que sostiene a Cristo. Es Cristo quien sigue sosteniendo al mundo.
✝️🙏

The “Pride flag” exists to mock God’s promise of mercy and love to Noah and also to encompass every identity incapable of producing white children (the thing most hated by the empire it represents) btw

There’s a reason Protestants avoid this comparison.
It’s not weak.
It’s devastating.
Watch.

Mary was never the Ark of the new covenant!
Catholics prey upon the illiteracy of their followers and hope that they don’t see the holes in their alleged typology!
It is the flesh of Jesus that is the Ark. It is the person of Jesus that contained the glory of God.
