Good time to look to church

With the recent results of the elections last week in the United States, it is a good opportunity for believers everywhere to reassess our priorities, values, and direction.

No doubt many American Christians have erred, by placing too much of their spiritual welfare directly on the makeup and condition of the civil government. God would have our primary focus *not* be there, but rather on Christ's church.

Let us return to the Bible's instruction, and start the transformation of culture, not from Washington DC, nor from any state capital, but rather from the heartbeat of the local church (as she is connected to all other faithful churches, and as she is benefitted by centuries of gracious supply of God's Spirit).

As we become self-conscious churchmen, we will then be able to be effective in the state, the family, and in every other imaginable sphere of life as well.
