23To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
What cannot be shaken is OUR KING, HIS WORD AND HIS CHURCH ... the UNSHAKEABLE KINGDOM OF GOD.
kingdoms rise and fall ... and maybe even this country's ... but His Kingdom is everlasting.
The spiritualizing of politics that I hear here and among many of our cohorts is disturbing ....

Good grief. No one is "spiritualizing" politics! It's a campaign year and we are interested in the issues. If we are instructed to "pray" for our leaders, we sure do need to be voting as well. It's ridiculous to vote if you haven't studied the issues or the men/women behind the issues.
At the end of the day every Christian stands on this principle:
Psalm 20:7 "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God."
Are we way more enthralled with "NEWSFLASHES" and "Standards" issues? I'm sure not!!

Re: Have you fallen victim to a political spirit?
Nope, not me. I made my decision and I am ready to vote in November.
