Today’s Thought “Caesar or Nero?” G. Ward 1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from every form of evil. Civic mindedness was once commendable an exercise to portray but now has posturing in presumed righteousness. One side insists their governance is best, while the others says theirs is more relative and caring. Seemingly inarguable, both sides govern according to the best of their ability and history demands it’s never been good enough (Judg.21:25). The democratic process hasn’t always been available to all its citizenry and while the foundation pervaded on a segment of people embraced national documents by saying “All” were included, many groups were not (*inclusive of my lifetime). The marginalization therein was imposed on generations thereafter enabling both dissention and discord (cf. Gal.5:16-21). We’ve now emptied onto choice and the actuality of option loves particular characteristics of their partisan selection; but each (of the two major parties) have segments of evil and I as a believer have been called to absolutely NOT chose the lesser of two evils, but to never consider participating, period (Faith is difficult.). The banners raised in futile speculation that says we’re on Jesus’ side because of the perpetuation in blatant murderous acts, while the others yell we care for the “less than” by offering equal opportunity through attainment of social services extended indiscriminately, forgets that the Savior opted for the Creator’s governance without waver.
