People have to be open to an encounter with Jesus instead of rejecting Him and His commandments at every turn. I wonder how much of the big voter turnout is people wanting access to abortion and weed.
In the Old Testament nobody got to vote and yet God moved Kings and Kingdoms around the chess board to accomplish His will at His pleasure.
Alexander the Great conquered the world and God gave us the Septuagint and the Greek new testament to reach a Greek speaking world. The Romans conquered the world making roads accessible for missionaries to travel and preach the gospel. God is always making a way for us. |
