Boiled Down

Year's end seems a good place to "analyze" the times, as Jesus said to do in Luke 12:54-57.

He says there we should judge by "what is right."

That's certainly Jesus' word to our time, when 80% of "evangelicals" voted their belief that unrighteousness would "make America great again."

Here's godly commonsense:
Lies and unrighteousness will NOT make America great again. 
God guarantees it.

Their vote raises questions about those who've been deceived.

Don't people who know God, know He hates pride, and lies, and unrighteousness ?

Do people who know God hates pride and lies and unrighteousness choose to follow someone whose spirit is pride and lies and unrighteousness ?

Do Christians think they can follow such a man and not follow his spirit ?

But the defining question is whether politicized American Christians can tell the difference at all between righteousness and unrighteousness.

If not,

what good is their "Christianity" ?

The context in which Jesus tells us to "analyze" the times is His announcement that He has "come to cast fire upon the earth," and to bring "division" (Luke 12: 49-53).

That seems to me the context of these times.

Jesus is bringing division in our times, separating those who can perceive, and will follow, righteousness from those who will not.

Amen.
