Conservative is not Equal to Salvation

We cannot expect unbelievers, no matter how conservative, to understand and follow the ways of God.

1 Corinthians 2:14 "But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Conservatism is not equal to salvation or Christ. Sadly, many people who say they are Christians are basing their opinions of leaders on the things those leaders give them that make them feel safe, not on the spiritual direction of a nation.

Our government as a whole does not follow Christ; it follows "the will of the people", mostly unsaved people who are willful and self-absorbed.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

1 Timothy 4:1-2 "Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron."

Titus 1:10-11 "For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not."

This is the state of the last days apostate churches in full bloom:

Acts 20:29-30 "I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them."

Knowing all this does not have to grieve us deeply because we know it is prophsied and that we can live at this time remaining faithful to Christ, even surrounded by most who do not. Their choices do not have to affect our walk with Him.

Those who persist in tormenting us with rejection do not have to be in our lives; we are allowed to choose friends who love Christ as much as we do and avoid those who do not love Him.

Matthew 7:15-20 "You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

What is the fruit of the Spirit of Christ!?

Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

Keep looking up and walk in the peace and joy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
