I just did a count on a Christian friend's page. 12 of his last 14 posts were about politics (90 percent). It is an obsession. If you have unfriended someone over politics, or most of what you post is political, something is not right! Our nation is in a mess -- of that I agree. But Facebook posts won't fix it. Here is what God says: "if my people, who are called by my name (CHRISTians), will humble THEMSELVES and pray and seek my face and turn from THEIR wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive THEIR sin and will heal their land." We are the problem. We have met the problem, and we are it. Let us clean up OUR act before we point the finger at anyone else. Jesus said, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." What is coming out of our mouths is what is in our hearts, and, sadly, for many of us it is not the love of God coming out of our mouths -- but politics. That has taken the place of God. This should not be, dear ones. I will be voting, but I will be praying more.
