John 18:36 ~

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

On August 21, 2021, I decided to never make another political post. I may have slipped once, lol, but I decided that for me, squabbles and quarrels over politics were a waste of time. This is not my home. I decided it was time to act like I believe and I believe I’m headed to a different country, a peaceful one.

I vote but I keep my political views to myself now. Many of my views didn’t line up with the Word anyway. I found I was becoming as extreme as the next person because I was in an echo chamber only listening to those who agreed with me. In retrospect, I don’t think that’s a good way to learn, grow, or find solutions.

I look back and see the ridiculousness of so many of my past views. I see how they didn’t line up with the Christian values I desire to live up to now.

I listen to what both sides say, trying to understand the arguments of both sides so I can make a more informed decision but I still try to keep my views to myself except for one…

One hundred years from now, one thousand years from now, or an infinite number of years from now the only election that matters is the one where…..

I made my peace, calling and election sure by placing my faith in the person and spirit of Christ, my Jesus.

My earthly Dad once told me to never discuss politics or religion. I should have listened.

And No, I don’t consider talking about the love of Christ to be religion. I consider it to be life giving and life sustaining.

Christ is the only hope for this world’s peace.

Every tongue will confess and every knee bow now or later.

I choose now.

If you don’t fall on the rock and become broken, the rock will fall on you and ground you to powder.

I bow and confess this day that Jesus is the only begotten son of God.

And in my spirit, I hear His Spirit say,

“You are Travis in whom I’m well pleased. Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you but my Spirit has and upon this rock, I will build my church. The gates of hell shall not prevail against you.”

I’m taking back what was stolen from me and you can too.
