Are you deeply concerned for our country and your children and grandchildren when so many Americans voted for platforms and policies that are anti-biblical and so many Christians did not engage at all?

Is this immoral country too far gone? Should we jump the first boat out of here like Jonah?

Should we just hunker down and remain silent, or should we, like Esther, consider that we were placed here “for such a time as this”? (Esther 4:14)

Are we not to seek the “welfare of our cities” as the prophet Jeremiah wrote? (Jer 29:7)

Do we still believe that God’s ways truly are better than the ways of this world? (1 Cor 1:25)

Oh, I know this world is really dark, but are we going to “hide our light under a basket” or are we going to let our “ light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”? (Matt 5:15)

Is God’s arm too short to save (Isa 59:11)? Is revival out of the question?

Is the Great Commission not still our charge and hope?

The evil one has taken so many captive to his lies (2 Tim 2:26).

And, like me, I bet you know captives and love them.

Yes, this world is hard, depressing, worrisome even, and I want Jesus to come get us. I want Him to right every wrong and dry every tear (Rev 21:4) . I want to see the evil one cast away forever (Rev 20:10).

But I also know that it is because of God’s mercy that He waits (2 Pet 3:9) and until He returns we are to go and tell. We are to love the unlovely. Jesus said, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse [persecute] you”.(Luke 6:27-28)

We are to make disciples that make disciples. Our Savior commanded, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”(Matt 28:19-20, The Great Commission)

This is not easy stuff, but it’s what we are called to do.

May the Lord give us the hearts to love, the wisdom to know when to speak, and the words to say, as Jesus told us—“When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.”(Matt 10:19-20)

May the Hope of the Nations (Matt 12:21) bring revival. May we be lights in this darkness knowing God will not leave us or forsake us (Heb 13:5) and that He is the what this lost world needs.

May we not sit idly by, but pray and speak, as the Lord leads, for the good of others and glory to our Lord.
