Acts 5

I am going to do something some of you might not appreciate. I am going to take a verse out of context. But I promise you, I am doing this believing that, although the words were said to a specific group of people, the principle is demonstrated throughout Scripture.

Peter and John were put in prison for telling people about Jesus. The powers that be were intent on stopping them, but wanted to tread lightly for fear of the Jews. One man stood up and said:

Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them; you will only find yourselves fighting against God. (5:38b-39)

We just had an election and the Democratic platform, I believe of human origin, failed. The killing of babies as their focus, sexual deviant behavior championed, and their candidate voicing what the platform promotes when she publicly and joyfully said to a Christian, “I think you are at the wrong rally,” and had him escorted out of the venue. The party made it clear that God, the Bible, and Christians, have no place in their government – and their government failed.

I am absolutely NOT saying the Republican Party is pure and stands for God. But I know millions of Christians stormed the gates of Heaven and prayed that God would have mercy on this nation, that He would defeat Satan at the polls, and give us another chance to repent, turn from our wicked ways, and return to one nation under God.

The answer to those prayers is a second Trump presidency and a Republican controlled House and Senate.

But, Christian, don’t think for a minute the battle is won. It’s not over. We have work to do. A lot of work to do. We have seen that the Republican Party is open to listening to our voices.

God gave YOU another chance to make your voice heard. Your voice is heard by how you spend your money – Starbucks? Disney? What is your voice saying when you support companies such as these?

Your voice is heard when you volunteer or support pregnancy centers, when you attend school board meetings and hold them accountable. When you get involved in your community government, or run for state office, or maybe a national office.

Your voice is heard when you write your governors, your senators and congressmen. Please write. And keep writing.

And pray. Pray every day for the direction of your communities and our nation. Stop listening to the voices of evil and recognize the voice of God. Then obey.

Because if we sit back and allow non-Christian Republicans to fashion our government it will be of human origin – and it will fail!

Your voice was heard on Tuesday. This is not the time to go silent.
