WITHIN THE political arena we have a birds eye view of those who run our country. Many decades ago some Godly men created laws that were set up for the United States of America, and they called these law’s the "Constitution!" It included the preamble and the by-laws! This Constitution was set up so that the President would be accountable to the Congress and the Congress and the President, would be accountable to the people. For it was for "We the People" that this country was ordained by God! God’s blessing fell upon this country and remained as long as "We the People" followed His laws.
WE RECENTLY held elections and the Republican Party will soon hold the cards in the Congress. They will hold the majority in the House and the Senate! Our system asks for checks and balances, or accountability. However, we have a President that believes his power is within himself and if he can’t get the Congress to bow to his bidding, he will go it alone and make and break laws at his own will. This is unconstitutional; it is breaking the law; and shouldn’t there be some repercussions? Shouldn’t there be talks about impeachment? Shouldn’t he have to go spend time at Guantanamo Bay?
IF OUR president was charged and found guilty of murder, he would have to go before the courts! If he was found guilty running a red light; shouldn’t he be given a ticket? Now I ask you, where does it say that the President can do whatever he wants to do? Are we so conditioned by watching cute movies about the sins of the President, that we go away laughing? Are we so wrapped up in our own problems we figure when he gets caught, perhaps he will then be punished? Should the President be allowed to walk all over our laws and get away with it?
ARE YOU accountable to someone? I know that I am! As Christians we should be accountable to one another but in the long run we are accountable to God! In Romans Paul talks about the condition of those who died without hearing of Christ. He talks about the law that the Jews were under. "For no human being will be justified in his sight by the works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20 In this verse Paul was talking to the Jews; however, this also can apply to law in general. In the present state of human nature, perfect obedience to law is impossible. The law is a standard of measurement which makes man aware that he is a sinner, but does not offer him any hope of a way to escape from guilt.
WE HAVE LAWS that we must abide by. Parents institute laws for the children to live by; the schools provide laws within the school so we can learn; when we marry we are to abide by the laws of marriage. Our city and state has laws to keep us out of trouble. God has given us a way to live, that is not of the law of the Old Testament, but through His Son’s grace upon the cross. When we are obedient to God our reward is eminent; eternal life with the Father.
WHEN WE BREAK the laws that we live under, we find ourselves in trouble. We pay fines; go to jail; don’t get a diploma for learning; get a divorce; live in poverty. "But now in the present time He deals with men’s sins; to demonstrate His righteousness. In this way God shows that He Himself is righteous and that He puts right, everyone, who believes in Jesus." Romans 3:26 In the past God overlooked men’s sins and did not punish them immediately. But now, since the Cross and until time ends, God deals with men’s sins. We see that sin and salvation are not make-believe! God puts right with Him, those who reach out through faith to make themselves part of Christ. PRAY for our President that he will quickly meet up with Jesus Christ, and become the kind of President God has created him to be! Having a man of color for President, should have been a very good thing. It is not the color that is the problem, but the man! However, while there is breath; there is still hope!
