I'm Thinking...

... that many Christians have lost their way when it comes to having a biblical worldview of "God and Government." I saw a Christian talk show's newsletter recently and the host wrote, "I believe that this election represents a major fork in the road for America." It sounds exciting but it ignores the fact that God will do with America as He pleases regardless of who wins. It ignores the fact that the two leading candidates for president are both professing believers in Jesus Christ. One candidate is open about his faith and the other more reclusive. But both believe. God's candidate will win this election. He or she always does. In every election. In every nation. We have a sovereign God who sees America on the same level as Mauritania (read Isa. 40). He no longer makes covenants with nations like He did with Israel. He loves and saves individuals and chooses to work through all governments. They are subject to Him. Always have been. Always will be.

... that Derek Webb's album "Mockingbird" is pure prophetic truth. I'm not talking future-telling here nor word-for-word inspiration but instead the words of a prophet calling the church back to holiness and right thinking. It truly is a masterpiece and I hope more believers pick it up and listen. God still speaks through believers. Not like the prophets of old, but He still does it. We would be wise to listen to each other.

... that rabbits love lettuce and I've been losing sleep over the fact that I planted nine romaine lettuce seedlings in my new garden last Tuesday. I expect one or two to disappear one night soon. And I've been told fences won't stop a hungry bunny. Yikes!
