Do Right or Play the game?

Do the right thing

Congress is about to move into full gear after an election where Americans flat out rejected the ultra-leftist agenda of the Islamic Marxist occupant of the Oval Office.

 

The American people gave Republicans an overwhelming mandate to end illegal immigration and to overturn socialist healthcare, but don't expect much over the next two years.

 

So far, the Republicans have not learned how to use their power to oppose this seemingly unbreakable spiritual hold over Washington, DC and reestablish right thinking and actions. That's pretty hard to do when you are committed to playing the game rather than doing the right thing. 

Galatians 5:1 says, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
There is no liberty apart from Christ, and while you can find plenty of lip service about Christ on Capital Hill, the actions are much harder to come by.
Ephesians 6:11-13 says, "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." 

Congress, especially the majority of Republicans, seems to have forgotten how to suit up and stand.
They have allowed Islamic prayer in the House; they have bought into playing the game of separation of church and state (it was never meant to take God out of government, but government out of God), and they seem to have forgotten who elected them and why. It is what often happens when they step out of their home district and into one of those "Members Only" elevators at the Capital--the flesh and blood is far too often controlled by the principalities and rulers of darkness of this world. These folks need not only our constant admonition and accountability, but also our prayers that they do the right thing.

House Speaker John Boehner is getting some token opposition to his job. While this opposition may not remove him, it may well be successful in some form of accountability. Notwithstanding, Boehner is too much into playing the game rather than       doing what is right.
For example, the GOP wants a deal on the Keystone pipeline to bring energy to the nation, but to get that deal, GOP leaders may give in to the "president's" wrong-minded approach to the scientifically false man-made climate change.
Similarly, Republicans say they want to fight illegal amnesty, but they are unwilling to defund Homeland Security to do it.
We need Congress to adopt Godly principles to run this nation.
Only then will they do the right thing.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
