From natural disasters and global tensions to assassination attempts, this election season has been unprecedented. With the election weeks away, people are unfriending others on social media and in real life. Families are literally being split up. All because they differ in their political stance. The division only seems to have intensified as we get closer to November.

I am not going to tell you who to vote for. I am not going to tell you who not to vote for. Instead, I am going to tell you why we must change our attitude to a Kingdom mindset this election.

Abortion, immigration, gun control, and foreign policy are just a few of the issues that are causing division this election. While Trump and Harris’ debates have been televised as they vie for the presidency, friends, co-workers, and families all across the country have similar heated arguments thinking that they have to win over others for the sake of their political party or the cause they are passionate about.

Similarly, as Christians, we often find ourselves trying to defend a candidate, issue, or cause. We often think we have to argue or win an argument because there is a difference of opinion. We don’t! The first thing we need to do if we are to have a Kingdom mindset this election season is to love.

Love our enemies

Lev 18 - sins for which God will wipe out even a non-Christian nation -- Lev 18: vs 20-29 include things like killing babies and other things popular in American politics.

Prov 24:10-14 sins of omission include failing to help the ultimiate-helpless ones - which includes babies

God never commands us "to like" or "be the best friend" of our governing leaders - but He is very big on not promoting abomination

"blessed is the man who is not condemned by the things he approves (votes for)"

Rom 14:22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is the one who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

America needs to "wake up"

Jesus said
They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
He said not peace but division.It was meant in a religious sense of the cost of following him.But it seems to fit with everything in today's world.

I hate to tell you but it also means migrants too there is a large population movement away from the equator being going on for some time now in all nations and too all nations not just one.You can't paint them all as garbage and criminals or genetically inclined to crime its simply not true.These people are not going to stop coming as the earth changes what would you do.

.Just a reminder of the sheep and the goats what did Jesus say?
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
