Signs of the Times: The Church's Role In A Post-Election America

If we change bad laws for good without exchanging bad hearts for good, then bad hearts will eventually work to exchange good laws for bad.

Knowing God is in charge remains the charge regardless of who is in charge.

2 Kings 10:28

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel.

We don’t just need hands to tear down pagan altars; we also need hearts and minds altered.

2 Kings 10:29

However Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin, that is, from the golden calves that were at Bethel and Dan.

Matthew 12:43-45

43When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44Then he says, “I will return to my house from which I came.” And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.

If you cast out the spirit of Jezebel but do not call on the Spirit of Jesus, then reform can lead to deform.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

We cannot leave the work to “Jehu”; we must continue to cleave to the work of Jesus.

2 Kings 10:31

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart for he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin.

Reform might bring justice, but only repentance can bring lasting righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:20

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
