Summary: We cannot let the rhetoric of racial division, prejudicial chaos, and religious rhetoric continue. We must give unto Ceasar the political system what is theirs and give to God what belongs to Him and that is our hearts, our souls, our minds.

It’s not Christian Politics

By

Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr.

PRAYER

OPENING: - Habakkuk 2:1 says, “I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower and will watch to see what he will say unto me and what I shall answer when I am reproved”. The spiritual duty of a true watchman is a noble, honorable, respectable, gentle, distinguished, gracious, magnificent, and demanding calling that requires vigilance, prayer, discernment, humility, compassion, and understanding. As I stand guard in faith there must be trust, truth, legitimacy and honesty because our performance can make an eternal difference in the lives of multitudes or just one and we are given a very stern warning in Luke 17:2 “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones”. I never want to be the cause for anyone to be offended because I neglected my spiritual duty. I strive to present the unadulterated Word of God in a clear and precise way that is understandable, I believe if a child is not able to understand your message, then your message is too hard. Nelson Mandela is noted for saying “If you speak a language a man knows you speak to his head. If you speak a language, he understands you speak to his heart” and it is always my desire to speak to the heart of the people of God. It is your heart that I truly need to impress upon today and I am coming from the depths of my heart with this message.

I truly do not like the election season; I can say I hate election season because I get sick and tired of the commercials of the different candidates bashing each other. I truly believe they are for the most part nothing more than emotionally driven, fallacy ridden loads of hogwash pushed by special interest groups targeted at certain groups of people that are distorted, misleading depictions mostly designed to manipulate the mind incite emotional reaction and cause you to react based on those emotions and not on rational and intellectual acuity. However, what really gets under my skin is when I hear preachers that stand in the pulpit and manipulate the Word of God for political reasons and try to make people accountable or appear to be in a sin ridden condition because they will not conform to a certain political standard or political party or vote a certain way.

Now there are guilty participants on both sides of the field but the other day I came across a video of this evangelical preacher, I will not mention his name, but he said you can call him a racist, prejudice, or anything you wanted but he had to rebuke the Black Pentecostal Church for endorsing and voting for that woman because endorsing and voting for her is voting and endorsing murder, transgenderism, homosexualism, and all of this is against God and he must rebuke it and anyone that is for her is with it. You could hear the congregation just going in screaming Amen like this man was preaching the house down. Yet you will endorse and vote for a man who is the epitome of adultery, covetousness, extortioners, and goes against everything the evangelical movement claims godly but want to rebuke the Black church, before you talk about someone’s bathroom make sure your bathroom has toilet paper in it.

Let’s just keep it real and see what the Bible says.

Psalm 101:7 says, “He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight”. We all know the lies that the man whom they are endorsing tells and has been proven to tell yet they endorse and vote for him but there is no rebuke.

Revelation 21:8 says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderer, and whoremonger, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death”.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God”.

Understand when people manipulate scripture to benefit a certain agenda then you end up with crap like slavery, colonization, inquisitions, and backward twisted false history like we have now. Listen people of God I need to explain something because it is the small foxes that destroy the vine Song of Solomon 2:15, Christian Nationalism, Politics, and the Constitution of the United States of America has nothing at all to do with the Bible or Christianity. It is this concept Christian Nationalism, Politics, and the Constitution that is being pushed and it is portrayed as being based upon Christian principles and Biblical foundations so that it will gain momentum, but it is a deception.

I am sorry you feel that way especially since nowhere in the Bible is voting a spiritual obligation. When people learn to stop manipulating scripture and truly come together against sin and stop being divided over political hogwash then maybe then the church can finally see true Revival and stop foolishness like what has been going on. Now sir that is what is exactly right.......
