There is great freedom and blessing in seeking the truth. We are not manipulated by any particular faction of the political arena, we can see things in truth and call them what they are straight up without reservation.
May we all become so secure in Christ that we do not shrink from telling the truth no matter who believes us. May we not be sucked into the secular conservative or liberal movements that compel their followers to deny truth to hang onto desires belief systems.
When we are in Christ we see the whole world the same way, that is lost and on its way to hell in need of the gospel of Christ. We can be honest in dispelling myths and chronic fear that drive people to deny truth while embracing theories and stories as though they have validity just by the speaking of them.
Acts 28:31 "Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance."
As soon as we begin to buy into the theories and political verbiage we are in the beginning stages of leaving our first love, that is Jesus Christ to engage in nonsense and fear devised by political groupies.
When we follow Christ and Him alone we can ignore all the lies, and nonsense to enjoy freedom from fear and foolishness.
Just because someone is conservative does not mean they are good or that they are right. Many conservatives are not godly and many are not Christians.
Conservatism does not equal godliness.
Godliness in Christ stands alone and will be rejected by most who are liberals and conservatives alike.
Reject the temptation to be drawn into the political arena through fear-mongering.
Hebrews 13:6
"So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
1 John 2:15-18
"15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world.
17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever."
