Ezekiel 3:16-21 16 At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for[b] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.
20 “Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 21 But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
Important Takeaways:
- Which brings me to my point today. Although God already knows the outcome of this election, He has called you and me to engage with the world we live in as ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven. We are living IN SUCH A TIME AS THIS so that we can testify to the Truth that transcends mere politics and serve as salt and light in a corrupt and darkening world. If nothing else, we are called to restrain the evil agendas being pushed in every sphere.
- You may think your vote does not matter. Or, you may be so disheartened by both Presidential candidates that you don’t want to vote for either. I would urge you not to give in to that deception.
- First of all, individual votes do matter. For one thing, I’ve seen elections decided by one, single vote.
- Second, abstaining altogether allows other votes opposing moral policies to have an outsized impact. As Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” The failure of Christians to rise up and vote their biblical values is what got us into so much trouble as a society.
- Finally, even if right does not prevail, we will be held accountable for our faithfulness to stand up and speak out. Just read Ezekiel 3 if you want to know God’s expectation for those He has called.
