2nd Cup of Coffee for 10/27/2026: I'M SIDING WITH GOD, HERE
A Thoughtful 2nd Cup of Coffee for 10/27/2026: I’M SIDING WITH GOD, HERE
I choose to believe the Bible’s version of things: not my favorite theoposition of things, but what God actually has to say about them and about us all.
Faith’s enemies get louder and harsher in condemning ‘those evangelical conservatives’ as if staring in revulsion at crows chowing down on a roadkill rabbit’s three-day-old carcass.
It happens every time a Christian steps into the public eye and dares to speak truth. Yeah. Like election time.
It doesn’t matter how gracious he or she tries to be; they’re instantly set upon by those enraged at being caught, found out, and held accountable. Nefarious lieutenants make good bucks spinning and mulching the truth while shredding and assassinating characters of anyone with the courage to stop the vile surge of lawlessness, unreined-in greed for power and amoral personal aggrandizement.
The hellacious, nauseating cost in lives, fortunes, reputations and dreams never matters. Nothing seems too disgusting, for where once media ads suggested possible untruths or embarrassing life choices, they now openly spread lies, even electronically ‘speaking’ faster to spread them faster and farther.
The sinister tentacles of the corrupting monsters are uncovered like writhing maggots in the belly of a dead salmon, leading to the highest offices of our land. And every man and woman so caught brazenly lies and obfuscates and distracts, knowing their corrupt sponsors will run interference for them with the willing collusion of an equally-corrupt, fawning media that long ago forsook all semblance of dispassionate reporting.
Sadly, this happens every election season.
“High road”? Come on. We’re purported to all be adults here. You know better. The strategy of Biblical Christianity’s foes is forever the same. They choose labels for themselves that conveniently let them deny God’s truth, even while claiming and even dressing and comporting themselves as “Christians”, muddying the Bible’s truth while confusing nominal believers’ theology.
Then they shout down and destroy as many of Truth’s messengers as possible while excusing and accelerating the blatant excesses to which they’ve become accustomed and now see as their ‘rights’.
Hebrews 4:12-13 has been leveling these truths since AD 64-68: “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.” ~Amplified Bible
“So-o, what are you saying?”
I’m saying the ultimate Arbiter of next week’s election is not any human group counting ballots.
It – He – is God. Not blind, deaf nor speechless, but vitally engaged in what affects those who love and serve Him. His authentic people are in constant communication with Him, knowing He’s more aware of what Christ’s foes are doing, saying and thinking than the foes themselves are.
I need you to consider that for a minute.
Remember WAR ROOM?
WAR ROOM was a movie, yet all who sneered and brayed at its message need to consider something. No Christian goes through the day without spending time in their own war room. Guess what that means?
§ Men and women regularly praying to God about all the above are all around you, all the time. I hope that either reassures you or scares the snot out of you, for there are too many Americans for whom it means very little.
§ The more brazen and unfettered by decency you become in pushing your agenda and ‘secret’ plans, the more powerful and pointed their praying becomes.
§ There’s nothing secret about your graft, lawlessness, conniving, lying and destroying good, principled people in your ugly quest for power.
§ There are war rooms surrounding you and strong appeals are rising nonstop to Sovereign God about your duplicity, deceit and desperate attempts to run – and ruin – the lives and future of your countrymen.
§ Passionate prayer warriors are isolating you – you – by name, laying you, your imagination, your words and deeds directly in God’s hands. Your Creator’s not confused about who, what and how you are. You’re not pulling anything over on Him. He knows you. Understand that. God. Knows. You.
§ You, too, will stand one day before Him. No matter whom you’ve tricked, scorned, deceived, destroyed or left in your wake in this life, you won’t finagle or lie your way out of God’s scrutiny. You will face your deeds and misdeeds.
Miss Clara: “MY GOD IS FAITHFUL. AND MY GOD IS POWERFUL. AND MY GOD IS IN CHARGE.”
Know why? Every one of ‘those evangelical conservatives’ you despise are lifting this whole matter of where our nation – indeed, our world - will wind up to the only One able to help us sort it out. One of my favorite life verses is 2 Chronicles 20:12: “We have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” (If you don’t know the back story, go read the passage again. It’s worth your time. Promise.)
One more thing. That Bible you say is a fable-full joke? If you’ve taken time to read it, you know that everything described therein has happened exactly as written. There are independent, secular literary and historical accounts to back that up – unless you’ve chosen to ignore it right along with God who inspired it.
What do you suppose are the chances that the small remaining part of Earth history outlined in the Bible will also happen exactly as written? Most of us can read the writing on the wall. Yet we like to assume it’s always addressed to someone else.
So, yeah. I’m siding with God, here. I’m voting with those who honor and live for Him.
I’ll leave the results in the hands of The Creator of all we know – and don’t.
Yet…
