An Unguarded Moment
For months now, Americans have been pushed, polled and prodded with political talk. We've been blasted with TV ads, blistered by web coverage and broadsided by office talk. We've watched debates, had debates of our own and the election is nearly upon us.
In an unguarded moment, I made the decision to go out on a limb and make some very specific election predictions. With full awareness that some future “fact checker” may wish to hold me accountable, I stand by my claim that these insights are given with 100% certainty.
Prediction #1
On Wednesday, November 9, Americans will wake up to knowledge of our newly elected president…and the annoying TV ads will finally go away! Really!
Prediction #2
God will still be on the throne. Don't stay up late Tuesday night worrying. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was and who is to come—the Almighty!” (Revelation 1:8).
Prediction #3
Sinners will still be sinners. Which means the gospel message will be as relevant and life-saving as ever.
Prediction #4
Americans will still be open to the witness of a caring neighbor, a loving friend, and a servant-hearted co-worker. Perhaps more than ever!
The way I see it, no matter who wins the presidential election (and personally, I believe it matters a lot), Jesus followers will need to follow Him more closely yet.
Final Predictions:
On Wednesday, November 9:
- The fields will still be white for harvesting…
- The flames of Hell will still be roaring…
- The Holy Spirit will still be convicting…
- The Gates of heaven will still be welcoming…
So by all means, cast your ballot for the candidate of your choice in this presidential election year. Then get to work sharing Christ—the only choice that leads to eternal life.
