WRITING about government

 

1 Corinthians 3:18

King James Version

18 Let no man deceive himself. 

If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, 

let him become a fool, that he may be wise.


Strange how one blog led to another.

And another.

It took 93 blogs to finally create the 94th:

"On GOVERNMENTS"


That's quite a journey, but well worth it.

I guess you could say SPIRIT made me study real hard.

Each blog explored a theme.

Each article expounded on that theme.

Until finally, we got to the government blog.

To my great surprise, of course.

Considering I knew nothing about governments.

And had no desire to know its complexities.

Still, when SPIRIT gives me an idea, I go exploring.

Every time we create a new blog, it's like self-study for me.

I teach myself first.

I have no right to give you half-baked goods.

First, I must understand it.

And be true to Scripture.


Never mind that I'm not a tech guy.

Or a scientist, an economist, a CEO, or in government.

As if that even mattered to GOD.

All GOD cares about is if we seek His truth.

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.


He must have seen me jumping wildly.

Trying to catch His eye.

Calling His attention.

Joyfully volunteering.

He must have been pleased.

If He wasn't, He wouldn't have given me 96 blogs to create.

Just so you know, a 97th seems to be hovering.


GOD also wants to know if we care.

Well, I do care.

I care what happens to you.

I care to know absolute truth.

I care to know from the BEST teacher.

The Triune GOD surely saw my curious, cheerful, childlike heart.

With the indefatigable spirit He gave me.

I was teachable.

I was not government material.

I found I was actually enjoying writing about governments.

Not about the government of men, but the government of GOD.

It's the principles of GOD that matter.

We need GOD-centered governments.

That's the only way we can all live, thrive, and survive.

That's the only way we can have justice on earth.

That's the only way we can have real truth.

What would a good government be like?

That's explored in the 94th blog.
