100% agree with this. Good post Simpleman sir.
Voting changes nothing.
It depends on where you vote and who or what you are voting on.
Local elections, believe it or not, are very important. Much good can be done in the community.
State elections are probably the most important for they form the backbone of our national system.
You have heard it said that the FAMILY is the basic building block of society. As the family goes, so goes the community and state.
Federal government goes by itself, not restrained by any person any group or any organization.
Contrary to local and State elections, Federal elections mean little because;
1. The Federal government has become a political monopoly. (Folks admit that corporate monopolies are bad. Why do they think the Federal monopoly is ok?)
2. The amount of resources needed to effect Federal change or prevent Federal change is beyond the ability of individuals (even rich ones) to effect.
3. Federal representatives of all branches no longer heed the will of the people, only special interest groups and internal design.
Again, it depends upon where you vote and who or what you're voting on.
Most people don't vote at all. Very few vote on local or State issues/persons.
When was the last time a Christian ran for a school board seat and was backed by Christians as a group?
Some Christians say we ought not be political, but militant atheists, gays, muslims, illegal aliens and every other group of people have banded together to affect government.
Those who claim to be Christian and allow demonic forces to rule the land are guilty of supporting their agenda by default.
a world that belongs to the devil. He told Christians to pray for the kingdom of God, that’s not going to manifest itself the some worldly government now is it!
Where does it say that this world belongs to the devil?
Satan is the prince of the world, the ruler of it, the god of this world, he who rules by legal right (a right which it acquired by deceit).
Our Lord is said to have been victorious in His battle against the powers and principalities of this world. If Satan ownes the place, then all that talk about victory is a lie and Jesus died for nothing.
On the other hand, if Jesus' death DID result in victory, then Christians ought to be about the business of working with the Lord to reclaim, restore and renew all that which has been lost to the enemies' work. If we are members of the victorious host of God, then we have a duty to work.
Then again, there are those who believe that Christ is not victorious, that He has not overcome the world and that we ought to hide our light under a bushel. They have their reward I suppose.
