A Society of Darkness Elects Leaders Of Darkness

When you have a society living in darkness, they will elect leaders who are in darkness.

The leaders we elect reflect the character of the society.

We wonder how strange people end up in our Congress and Senate. Someone voted them in. Or, they got the votes of dead people.

So, we see people like AOC and Ilhan Omar who were voted in by somebody, and we wonder how. In the case of Omar, the district she represents is made up of mostly Muslims, so it is no surprise that they voted for her. In the case of AOC, people who don't think would have voted for her.

Why have we elected these kinds of people into office? Corrupt leaders are elected by corrupt voters. The key to electing Godly leaders is to have Godly people in society.

How do we get Godly people to make up our society though? For one, we need to preach the Gospel message. You can talk to anyone on the streets and you will find out that for the most part, they have no clue of the Gospel message.

Most people think that since they have never killed anyone, they will not go to hell when they die. They think a person has to be pretty bad to go to hell. But that isn't true. Most people are pretty good on the outside, but in the heart, they are not good at all. They need to hear the pure Gospel message, so they can be saved from their sins and delivered.

So, there is a large group of people who want a pure government with leaders who will have integrity. But how do we get that?

It's not as easy as raising up a good guy and raising up enough money to fund his campaign. We could do that, but, unless society itself has a change of heart, they will vote for whomever they want. And if the society is unregenerate, then they will raise up unregenerate people to run for office and they will vote for them.

So, what is the answer? Society needs a new heart. The people who live in the communities in America need a new heart. They will only receive a new heart when they hear the Gospel message and respond to it.

The answer for us is to preach the Gospel message. The word of God will not return void. When people hear the words of life, they are changed.

If you want to change society, preach the Gospel message.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
