On the social issues I lost also. The Second Amendment has enemies in high places. They are stronger than they were before the election. This is a social issue. It is a topic that people can disagree on. It is a constitutional issue. People who believe in the rule of law cannot disagree if the law they are sworn to uphold is the U.S. Constitution, but I accept that some people don’t believe that the Constitution is the best system available.
On other issues from education to the economy I lost. I felt it but I am recovering. I have a reminder that is more powerful than hope and change. I have a truly renewable source of energy.
(2 Corinthians 4:7-9 KJV) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;What is the source of that renewal? It is not my intelligence or strength. It is bigger than that. It is eternal. Notice the next verse.
(2 Corinthians 4:10 KJV) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.Christians lost but we are still optimistic and involved. You see, we are always using situations like this to remind ourselves that politics is something we are involved in because of duty not because it is vital. We rejoice in adversity because we have read the book and understand the principles of life. In the race of life we are tortoises, not ostriches. We live in perseverance, not denial.
That is a big difference and one that the pagans and “Kristians” don’t understand. We are not happy fools, we are informed servants.
