Post Election Thoughts

After all of the bitterness and fear I've seen in post-election conversations (from believers and unbelievers), this quote from Al Mohler is a breathe of fresh air.

“We are people that know politics is important, but not ultimate. We know that politics has its place, an urgent and important place where, in the City of Man, decisions are made that can make the difference between life and death, injustice and justice, mercy and no mercy, commonweal or common disaster.

But we also know that there is in this world at its very best only a hint of the kingdom that is to come, where God’s reign is supreme.

No government will ever be able to say, ‘Every tear has been wiped away.’ No government will ever be able to say, ‘The blind have received sight and the deaf have received hearing and the lame now walk.’…That power is God’s alone.”

—Albert Mohler, “After the Election”

That's good perspective. I've been one of the bitter ones (of course you know that if you've read my blog).

Thanks (and I love the City of Man/City of God reference...Augustine was a great man).
