As a new morning has dawned in America, and the opportunity to turn towards God’s righteousness has been given our nation, it is now that the people of the United States must hold our conservative leaders accountable for following Godly principles. It is a perfect time to stare back in time to one of America’s greatest presidents, who is a modern measuring stick for governing according to Christian principles.

In the fifth chapter of Matthew, verse 14 tells us:
“You are the light of the world– like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.”
As individuals, we are to let both the love and righteousness of Christ shine in our everyday lives. As a nation, we are to both choose Godly leaders and hold them accountable to adhering to principles that honor the Lord in governance of our localities, states, and nation. Hopefully, a more Godly electorate will soon take office, but the change in the makeup of the government is merely a start. True change will take place in America only if members of Christ’s church reflect both His righteousness and love. Perhaps this election is an opportunity given to America much akin to that given to Ninevah when Jonah prophesied to them, their leader repented along with the people and God spared them. America’s people have voted for change. Hopefully, that change will involve repentance and a move towards the righteousness of Jesus, the Original Light. The election of Donald Trump along with maintaining a Republican majority of both houses of Congress should provide an opportunity to move our nation towards repudiation of wickedness. Time will tell as to whether or not this opportunity will be squandered by Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.
