Okay, just one more...

...post about the election. I wasn't going to write any more about American Politics, but then I run across this post. Jared Wilson says what I've been thinking. The answer to the needs of the world isn't the right politician. Regardless of how you voted in the election, these words are worth hearing...

Whether you are disappointed in the results of the recent election or elated by them, if you are a follower of Jesus, your allegiance is due Christ's kingdom, your hope is to be in his governance. The government shall be on his shoulders, the prophet tells us.

We only need one messiah.

We are citizens of heaven, and the duty of the Body of Christ is to testify in word and deed to this citizenship, not speak and act as if any politician or government is representative of our real citizenship. We may vote responsibly and wisely, and engage in the political process to the extent at which it is neither our hope nor our driving passion. But punching a ballot is not the fulfillment of righteousness or the hope that we confess.

If it is change you want, if it is the kingdom you hope to build, if it is God's will done on earth that you are after, the best way to do this is to believe the gospel, hope in its Author, and get your hands dirty loving your neighbor.
