Hi Pastor John,
Thank you so much for this article.* I need it. I need to be reminded often, to stay out of politics and this ungodly, earthly mess. It’s hard to watch freedom under attack and be chipped away, but in truth we really are not of this world. And this article gives me the right, godly perspective; the only way to look at it. God is not conservative or liberal, and His kingdom does not operate the way we do! Praise God and Amen!! I’m thankful we have something so much better to look to. We really do!!
I’ll never forget the distress I was in at the last “election”. I was trembling in fear. The way that I felt was unlike anything I’ve felt. When I went to you about it, you were entirely unmoved by that political mess! I want to be like that. I’m thankful you were the strong tower I needed, and it gave me relief to note how unmoved you were!
And I’m thankful I listened to your advice then; stay out of it. At first it was hard to lay down political things and not get involved or pay it heed. I’ve had to lay down anything political thousands of times. But I continue to do so because I am not of this world. Pastor John, it would feel worse than anything to have not obeyed your advice; and I continually remember that.
Thank you Pastor John, so much! Please pray for me!
Love,
Jenny
