The governments of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia are all backing the “roadmap to peace” as presented by the President of the United States. Personally, I honor and respect the President. I believe he is a godly man who truly believes that Jesus is Lord.
However, I am saddened by the roadmap to peace that has been forced upon Israel through political pressure. If it is true that political correctness is to agree with this road map, then let me say this. God is not politically correct.
God has not changed. The things He disapproved of during the time of Noah, Abraham, Moses and Paul, He still disapproves of today. God is not an evolving creature that changes His character depending upon His environment. God’s Word always has been and will always be true. His promises and His prophecies will all be fulfilled.
Growing up in the United States of America, I have become accustomed to democracy. We vote on everything. In America everyone from school leaders to community leaders to state leaders to national leaders, all are in their positions because they were the most popular. Growing up in this society tends to make one think that if something is popular, it’s right. When it comes to character, righteousness, and the spiritual things of God, nothing could be further from the truth. God’s kingdom is not a democracy.
Everything that was created was created by and for His Son, Jesus. We were created to fellowship with Him. It may come as a shock to some people, but in the Kingdom of God, God is the King. We don’t vote on the rules. We don’t debate the rules. We don’t argue the rules. Our job is to willingly obey the rules.
The good news is God is a good God and He rewards those who believe in Him and receive His Son by faith with eternal life and a multitude of good gifts. God is the God of love. In fact, God is love. God is a good God and He is just. God is light and God is love. However, God is not politically correct nor will He ever be. So the point is this. When you come to the point of decision in your life on any subject, never make your decision because of what is politically correct. Make you decision based on what the Word of God says. Only then will you choose correctly.
