Christian Nationalism and the 2024 Election
I previously wrote about the goal of the Great Commission to create Christian nations (countries with majority believers and/or governed by biblical principles). God wants all people to be evangelized (Matthew 28:18-20) and His will done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
The 2024 U.S. presidential election will either bring hope for a rebirth of faith in the United States or an increased descent into chaos and totalitarianism.
Here’s my detailed rebuttal to those against “Christian nations.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson: A Divine Appointment?
I was upset with Rep. Matt Goetz R-FL when he used the new House rules (with the support of seven others) to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Republican infighting ensued causing numerous speaker nominees to be rejected. I felt that could damage a much needed “red wave” in the 2024 elections. I surmised that if the Democrats were “terrible” in their current policies, then the R’s were “stupid.”
I was wrong. The Republicans, by unanimous vote, made Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana the 56th Speaker of the House.
He appears to be a divine appointment.
If I Were the Devil
I’ve never been big on conspiracy theories though the blocking of the JFK assassination papers from the public makes me wonder what’s being hidden. Fortunately, in the the next life, everything will be revealed (Luke 12:3). I’m sure we’ll be shocked about “what really took place” in history.
I do believe in one conspiracy the Bible describes and is caricatured in C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters and Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness:
The devil and his demons conspiring to destroy human beings.
During the past one hundred years, if I were the devil, what would I do?
