There have been scandal after scandal in the headlines of government officials and leaders of churches not living up to the Christian values they proclaim. What are the masses of onlookers supposed to think?
Well, you are supposed to THINK in general.
Our trust and faith should not be tied up in those calling themselves our leaders. Our trust and faith belongs to God. In His word God has told us no one is in a position of power or leadership unless He ordains it.
We may ask ourselves - surely when Hitler was in power, God did not ordain that? Well, when Moses went up against the Pharoah of Egypt God said that Pharaoh was put in that particular place for God's own particular reason and He knew that Pharoah would harden his heart.
Why would God have such a man over His choosen people? Without that particular Pharoah we would not have had a chance to read about God's miracles of saving the Israelites from bondage.
Even though it may not seem like it, God is in control at all times over all nations. It is the behavior of his followers that is more important than the corrupt leaders.
The 21st century has dealt us some serious blows. The people are enraged at the government and the Christian leaders are concerned with their own political agendas. What are the Christians to do?
The Politics of Prayer examines the importance of prayer and wisdom when turmoil abounds. Many people, including Christians are wondering 'how can I survive this economic time and leadership I do not agree with?' The answer for all of our troubles has been to rest and trust in God. All things fade away but He and His word are everlasting.
For a true perspective on how to live today as an example of Christianity when all others are trying to solve problems through their own devices, read this book. it will renew your mind and spirit as you walk daily with the Lord.
And, after reading the book, don't forget to vote.
