You may say you hate politics ...and further believe that religious groups should stay out of politics, but let's go back to where it all began.

A two-thirds majority is called a 'supermajority'.  

The first supermajority was ...for God, against Lucifer.

God didn't need a supermajority ...but He got it!!

From Global Warming ...to Climate Change ...to what change?? Who fears another flood ...when God gave us a rainbow as a sign that it would not happen again.  Don't need any lobbyists for that one.

And no, No-ah was not an environmentalist ...he was merely a righteous man, when they were in short supply.

There was also an assembly ...gathered against Moses and Aaron, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown.  And the earth opened up and swallowed them.

You may not judge that as right ...seeing it a merely a different point of view, but neither you nor I can claim to be the judge. From the Book of Judges, we see a man entering one of the cities of the respected people (Chapter 19).  The people of the city came with questionable intent, and were asked to do what seemed 'good' to them to do.

When the people of the city did such wickedness that it could not be ignored, the people gathered together to demand justice. The city would not heed the request, and battled against them with no thought of the injustice ...twice they battled, and twice the lawless of the city prevailed.

While going up against the city, the first time they asked God who of their men should go first in battle.  After the first defeat, they'd asked God if they should battle them again.  Who'd argue with the correctness to go to God in prayer ...yet, what seemed in question was their resolve.  It had nothing to do with the fact that they had suffered a defeat ...as they had truly failed much before that, in having allowed themselves to get so complacent.  In their hearts it was not whether they'd get a victory, but whether they believed in what they were fighting for.

The third time, God promised them victory.

We often become complacent with our convictions.

And when this happens, we seem to forget what we believe in, or the depth of our belief begins to wane.  

It's good to experience comfort and security, but certain things happen when that gray area leads us to where taking things for granted ...actually makes us less grateful.

Okay, separation of church and state ...what do we say on that??

Well, it takes much time and effort when people get together to try to decide things ...and we tend to want to be in charge, though we know we must get along, to a degree.  It seems there is much discussion and compromise in politics.  The Word of God is supposed to be at the center of our church beliefs ...and we should not allow the politics of compromise and coercion to influence our faith.

That being said, simply, people should pray and ask for God's wisdom in deciding what to do in their lives. It is helpful when people like that are involved in politics ...but, the political process should not have influence in an area of our lives where One should be ruling.

Government shares authority ...the Bible, being the Word of God, is the sole authority.
