You want change? Start with your neighbor!

Surely by now you are getting to the point that you are sick of hearing about change. With the political election in full swing everybody is all for change. Both side are promising change. Both sides are promising a better country.

Now I know that God has never been a registered Democrat. I also know that GOP does not stand for "God's One Party."

Now let me encourage to make sure that you do vote. And let me encourage to make sure you study the issues (not the name calling), pray about them, and make an informed decision.

But (and here is where I begin to start typing really loud, because I am getting excited) this notion that if we vote for one candidate or another candidate that everything will be better, and one candidate is the next great prophet is totally ridiculous. If you are looking for the country to be run on Christian values, neither of the candidates is going to solve that.

Maybe at this time we need to take a look at ourselves. Maybe at this time we need to think about how we are doing at telling others about the Good News. It is not the job of politicians to "save" this country. It is my job and it is your job to tell others about the good news. The change that you are looking for comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ, not a relationship with a political philosophy. The change that you are looking for starts with your neighbor.

Guesss what? Even if everyone in this nation followed God, there would still be different political ideas.

Maybe we are not as "Christian" of a nation as we used to be. There could be two reasons for that:
#1: As the end times get closer and closer, we are warned in the Bible that society will continue to deteriorate. That just means Christ is getting closer to His return. I am ok with that.
#2: Maybe we are not doing our job at reaching our neighbors. I know that sounds harsh, but honestly, how much time are you spending arguing about your political philosophy as compared to telling your neighbor about Christ?

So if you are looking for change, start with your neighbor. Start with telling people the Good News. That is real change. The Good News brings real change!
