What Will Jesus Say to Evangelicals About Their Obsession?

Daily writing prompt
What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?

In that day many evangelicals will say Lord, Lord, have we not done all we can to make our country great? Have we not let national pride be our guide? Have we not infused our religion with politics? Have we not (all for Your glory) verbally attacked and insulted people who disagree with us? Have we not often thanked You that we aren’t like the radical leftists? Have we not prayed for our favorite leader and even dedicated a golden statue of him to You? And Jesus will say to them . . . (Matthew 7:22-23)

Christians are called to avoid the love of power. Christ wants to empower us to humble ourselves and allow Him to consistently demonstrate the power of His supernatural love both within and through us.

When people promote exalting a man or a woman above other people, they are way off track. No mere human being should ever be considered to be above accountability.

I woke up this morning at 3:17 with these thoughts going through my mind. All I wanted to do was to back to sleep, but I couldn’t. I kept being urged to get up and post them for all to see.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!

  1. I was never a fan of Trump even when I was younger, but was not surprised that many Christians are doing this (I am a Christian when I say this).
