Ephesians
6:13, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God:”
Will we as a people take a stand for truth and justice? We face a difficult time ahead as political leaders jockey for position, power, and influence. For the most part, it is all just a lot of noise like a sporting event. Each side supports and vehemently defends their team and believes it doesn't matter about the process so long as our team wins. But, it really does matter how we play the game. The game builds character and integrity which embrace truth, justice, and judgment. If the process fails to yield these attributes, how can we expect a government to lead in truth and justice? It is not what we say but what we do that defines us as a person, as a church, and as a nation. God help us!
