ENOUGH!

(No longer waiting on the sidelines not to offend)

I am offended by this implication. It should not be presumed because some argue for character that
they are focused on their own principles or are holier-than-Thou. Believers should NOT hate Mrs.
Clinton, neither do they need to choose a candidate out of fear, strategy, or pragmatism. Have we
considered the sovereignty of God?
Christianity Today executive editor Andy Crouch) has said this There is a point at which strategy
becomes its own form of idolatry an attempt to manipulate the levers of history in favor of the causes
we support, writes Crouch. Strategy becomes idolatry, for ancient Israel and for us today, when we
make alliances with those who seem to offer strength the chariots of Egypt, the vassal kings of Rome
at the expense of our dependence on God who judges all nations, and in defiance of Gods manifest
concern for the stranger, the widow, the orphan, and the oppressed.
The issue is NOT forgiveness. We are not to judge motives, but actions (Matthew 7:1; ALSO SEE John
7:24 where the same Greek word is used) "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge [krino] with
righteous judgment." The issue is character. The issue is holiness. VOTE, but vote character. The lesser
of two evils is still evil.
