As I was taking a much needed break from work this afternoon, I came across an interesting blog that I thought would be helpful for those of you who are following the political race south of the border.
For those who haven't heard of Mark Driscoll, he is the teaching pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washingon (not to be confused with the Mars Hill in Michigan which is associated with the emerging church). Mars Hill Seattle is a multi-site church with thousands in attendance. Mark Driscoll is known for being somewhat outspoken, at times very blunt, but always very biblical.
I frequent Mark's blog regularly, and find it very thought provoking. This week his blog was titled, In God We Do Not Trust; his reflections on the election and the issues that have weighed heavily on our brothers and sisters who prepare to vote today.
I urge you to read the blog - it is truly humbling - at least it was for me. Our country is not far behind our neighbors to the south - and the same principals and insights that Mark identifies, apply to us as well. Here's a quote from his blog:
The bottom line is obvious to those with gospel eyes. People are longing for Jesus, and tragically left voting for mere presidential candidates. For those whose candidate wins today there will be some months of groundless euphoric faith in that candidate and the atoning salvation that their kingdom will bring. But, in time, their supporters will see that no matter who wins the presidency, they are mere mortals prone to sin, folly, and self-interest just like all the other sons of Adam and daughters of Eve.
