View Fox News Eric Metaxas Interview Video here.
Christian Radio host, Eric Metaxas, argues that if Hillary is elected, the "balance of power" within the U.S. Supreme Court will shift to the liberal side and that a change in the composition of the U.S. Supreme Court would result in a shift in the character of our country. Thus, voting a despicable man into office is a justifiable evil.
This view is shared by many Christian voters who are sticking by Donald Trump.
Have they truly thought this proposition over? Or have they been coasting on "Christian" hot button topics for too long?
This country's character has already shifted. Changing the composition of the U.S. Supreme Court is not going to shift the character of our country back.
Even if Republicans take over the White House, retain majority of Congress, and appoints conservative judges to the U.S. Supreme Court, is that really going to change the character of the country?
Millennials make up a third of the electorate and they lean towards the left. Forcing conservative views on them is just going to push them farther left.
The reason for the shift is due to American Christians not engaging in the lives of non-believers but instead cloistering themselves into "Christian" enclaves. If you are a Christian, ask yourselves this question: How much time in one week have you spent with non-Christian friends? How many non-Christian friends do you have?
Jesus came to write God's law onto hearts, not on tablets of stone.
Writing the law into hearts requires engagement and love, winning hearts, one person at a time.
Jesus walked, talked, and dined with Tax collectors and whores. And through this engagement, He built his church.
If we truly want to affect national morality, each of us need invest our lives in our neighbors, love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
Relying on elections to steer our national morality runs counter to the example that Jesus set. Jesus did not come and topple the Roman government.
Yet, the American Church continues to insist on the legistlative approach to turning our country around.
Consider this: American Christians have invested enourmous sums of money and personal energy on "Christian" hot button issues for decades and what is the outcome? Has the Christian world view become more relevant to the average American?
Elections are for electing people who can effectively govern not about steering the national morality.
Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
Elect the candidate who can best govern and invest our lives to loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves so that their hearts may be opened.
