2Cr 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2Cr 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)
2Cr 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Cr 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
A lot of people are upset over the outcome of the election, perhaps with good reason. But we are called to a higher standard than to just yield to our fears and imaginations. In the coming months and years our newly elected president will propose some drastic changes; he has promised to do so. As those changes are proposed there will be opportunity to respond because at that point we will be dealing with real information.
Until then, I'm sure you've noticed that a lot of posts are being deleted. I was tempted to open this thread as a place where people could vent their fears and anxieties as long as they did so with full knowledge that they were expressing thoughts and sentiments that we are specifically instructed to resist.
I thought better of it and instead will just post this reminder that this is why we aren't allowing posts to remain that are exactly what I stated in the thread title, fears imaginations and human reasonings (and in some cases pure slander).
Change is coming. As it does we can talk about the facts. Even then let's not forget that God still reigns.
