Jesus or US Politics?

Brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus was not part of what we saw at the capitol, and we need to state that boldly!
Many of the individuals at the capitol carried the banner of Jesus. Signs read "Jesus Saves" or "Jesus is my savior. Brothers and sisters in Christ, we must put aside our differences and come together to proclaim the name of Jesus.
While politics and patriotism are important to our nation, they are not an excuse to compromise your Christianity. Acts 4:12 tells us, “There is salvation in no one else (but Jesus)! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
In Matthew 22:36-40 a religious leader attempts to trap Jesus with a question: "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Jesus replied, "you must love the Lord your God with all your heart all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is equally important, love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the commands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."
My friends, God’s Word tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Are you prepared? Have you put on your amour?
1 Corinthians 14:33 tell us, For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. Satan is trying to divide the Church and is pitting brother against brother and sister against sister during this political battle in the United States (or divided states).
God's Word also says, If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Please, whatever your political belief, stop and reflect on who you are in Christ! Honor God with who you are in Him!!
In His service,
Pastor Bob Margaron

3 年As a proud Christian & Canadian I was ashamed to see 2 symbols there with the crowd of thugs in an area which has long designated as off limits. One was the sign "Jesus Saves" and the other was my proud Canadian flag, brought there to Washington by 2 Canadian nurses, apparently bringing grievances over Canada's handling of the pandemic, concern wages are not sufficient and other unknowns. Their concerns may or may not be valid and their intentions might be worthy, but their venue was seriously out of line. I am just one person but let it be known that these women, regardless of how righteous, had no right to be crossing a border which our government and the American's has closed for reasons backed by science, the same science that healthcare workers push when in their interests, (that I may or may not support). Let it be known my flag which was desecrated in the hands of self-promoting civil servants stating positions for which no Canadians of whom I am aware gave them licence to state in another country. I can't recall your name on the voter list, you do not speak for my Canada. And do not desecrate my flag!
