Warning This post is likely to bug people but I must post it for my Christian friends and family.

America is not “the last best hope of man.”, it never was, Reagan was mistaken,

Jesus Christ and his government on earth is the last’s best hope for mankind. Jesus already has a govt on earth, it is called the ecclesia (in Greek). It is not a government with a constitution and bill of rights written in Washington DC.

It is also not wealthy 501c3 corporations we call churches or denominations, those are religious companies made up of Christians repeating tradition inherited from our parents.

But within many of those corporations and all around the earth is the remnant of the “ecclesia”, the real government of Jesus Christ on earth. It doesn’t need money, or hierarchy, or political connections.

I grew up on Ronald Reagan, loved the guy, but as an adult I see things differently, he was mistaken about America from a spiritual perspective. I also love America and understand why he said it but his way of thinking doesn’t jive with the gospel of the kingdom and the true and originally intended nature of the church.

America may be the last hope for man APART from Christ. If Christ must be excluded. I can reluctantly agree with that. But then if that’s the case it has become a well-meaning competitor with Jesus Christ hasn’t it? Just like Rome and most every other government.

NOTHING will stand as a competitor to Jesus Christ.

“If man will not be ruled by God (Jesus Christ) he MUST be ruled by tyrants.” It’s required, it’s inevitable, Satan has many rights to us outside of Christ.

This is first and foremost true among real Christians. I believe this is why so called “churches” around the nation are being shut down by governors and bureaucrats.

Don’t we weekly refuse Gods rule through the Holy Spirit, in exchange for pious entertainement and eloquent self-help speeches? We call worship and sermons, what are they accomplishing? Who really believes they are being discipled by this?

I believe this is the most important issue of our generation, the lordship of Jesus Christ when we gather. some great guy? or Jesus himself? I don’t believe we can get away with the immaturity and idolatry that’s former generations did.

I don’t dare take sides in elections this year. A party of tyrants or a party of idolators. My strong inclination is to vote with the idolators but I’m not convinced we are not due for tyranny.

All I can do is pray, pray, pray. Either side wins I wonder if it may be the same outcome.

If you disagree please comment.
