Election 2024

Scripture Reference: Ezekiel 33:1-5
Good AM. After a great deal of prayer, conversations with others, and wrestling with my own convictions-I'm going to change my message today to speak with you about the upcoming election. But before I start, let me share a few thoughts.
1 - Like you, I love and care for my family. I love and care for you and our church. I love and care about my neighbor and our community-and I love and care for our nation and for the nations of our world.
2 - Politics, especially in our country, are complex. There are seldom simple solutions because we're dealing with the vast complexity of life in a social system. And while I have strong convictions about the importance of rule of law, particularly the need for the guidance of such blessings as the Ten Commandments-due to the fallen nature of man, it's never going to be easy.
3 - What I have to say today isn't intended to be partisan or to get you to vote for a particular candidate or platform-but I do believe that voting is a matter of civic duty and Christian responsibility. I also know that many of you are extremely passionate about politics, a particular party, or a candidate, and that like me, you're concerned for this election-yet at the same time, we can't miss the forest for the trees. We must not lose sight that God is still sovereign and present.
4 - We can never forget that no matter who you vote for and who becomes president, governor, or a senator, etc.-no one person is going to save our nation. Our hope and trust must be in God. We must bend our knee and bow our hearts to Him alone.
The primary catalyst for this message began with conversations with people I love, respect, and know to be godly-who, like myself, are really struggling with the condition of our country and our choices for leadership. In dialogue with them, I've realized that there's a real struggle between personality or policy.
The second catalyst was a sermon I heard ...
