| | | The Kingdom of God is Not a Democracy
Chariots of Fire: Quote:
Reverend. J.D. Liddell: Sandy, the kingdom of God is not a democracy. The Lord never seeks reelection. There's no discussion, no deliberation, no referanda as to which road to take. There's one right, one wrong. One absolute ruler.
Sandy: A dictator, you mean?
Reverend J.D. Liddell: Aye, but a benign, loving dictator.
| R.C. Sproul, Sr., Truths We Confess: A Layman's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith, Vol. 3, p. 6: Quote: |
The kingdom of God does not exist by referendum. It is not a democracy. It is rooted and grounded in a principle of absolute monarchy, absolute sovereignty, where the Lord Almighty reigns. Americans resist that.

Thank you for that! I get great comfort from meditating on the fact that the Good Lord does not stand or fall by the votes of a fallen race!

Wait! I was told that there was a great election. God voted for me and the devil voted against me. It was up to me to cast the deciding vote.
Was that little country church wrong?!?! Say it isn't so! There was even a white picket fence out front and fresh flowers up near the front ever'week.
