Jesus For President!!

As I write this blog entry, we are just about 2 months away from our next presidential election. It's not hard to hear about the candidates from various media sources and word of mouth, and so all this talk about the election got me thinking.

It seems like many people think that one person is really going to define the entire American culture. I hear people discouraged about how they think the election might turn out, as if the whole world is going to fall apart. In reality, the world has already fallen apart. It's unfortunate when people invest so much in trying to make this world awesome even though the Bible says that we are like a mist the appears for only a little while (James 4).

I agree that we should have governmental laws regarding the moral behavior of our nation, but making a certain law does not necessarily mean people will follow it. I believe that the real way to invest our time and energy is in the eternal future; living for Jesus and telling others about Him. He should be the one that we vote for with our hearts and our lives, and He should be the one that we get excited about--let's have a Jesus National Convention!

Now, I have a lot of respect for the U.S. president, no matter who gets elected. Butif I ever get to meet the president it won't hold a candle to how cool it will be to meet Jesus face to face!
