I hear every jot you have written. I would ask, however, where were you 10-15 years ago?
Today, the entire political landscape has been changed. Still, that is not far enough or good enough for those that have a spiritual agenda. Your kingdom, my friend, is not earthly.
Here's the real dilema as I see it...
We live in an age where we expect more continuity and consistency from secular leader than we do from those in our pulpits. If Christians really desire change, they'll pay attention to Chronicles which puts the onus squarely on the shoulders of believers. Without brokeness and surrender, there will never be healing.
In short, Washington is not Jerusalem.
Fifteen years ago, as mentioned above, I lived in California. I could walk into a gun shop and buy a new FN-FAL for $900. By the time I left the state I had been fingerprinted just for owning it.
How has the political landscape changed? I think it depends on whether you are in a red or blue state. Red states are getting better, within the confines of the overarching liberal paradigm foisted on us by Washington, D.C. Blue states are getting more and more socialist and horrible. Oregon's most liberal county (which contains our largest city) voted to create a county income tax and increase taxes when the state shota state-wide tax increase down.
