Our world is becoming more polarized. This is to be expected. We are coming to the end of this age, which will be the ultimate battle between light and darkness. Every person must enter the “Valley of Decision” and choose which they will serve. Every person will choose a path for their life that leads to the light or the darkness. As we have covered before, we are told in Proverbs 4:18-19:
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

Now that the elections are over, the real work begins. The greatest event in human history after Jesus walked the earth is about to begin—the harvest that is the end of this age.

This is why every prophet in Scripture addressed current events, and numerous ones had words for many nations. This is part of what we are called to do but not all of it.

As we in America approach one of the most important elections in our lifetime, I talk to many Christians who are still conflicted about their choice for President. Many are conflicted about their choice for a political party. As a pastor, I consider it a responsibility to address this issue that will impact so many of the Lord’s people.
First, many Christians do not understand how any Christian could be a political liberal. Others do not understand how a Christian could be a political conservative. To understand means to “stand under” someone else’s position. So regardless of which...
