I am not overly upset with feckless, dishonest career politicians who ignore their constituents to serve themselves. Neither am I upset about a lawless, dishonest, psychopathic, President who circumvents constitutional law and order to enact illegal laws by executive order. Nor am I even very concerned about nine unelected old judges who violated their oaths, trashed our constitution, and invented unnatural laws to impose on sovereign states. None of that surprises me. That is exactly what men (which is the grammatically correct generic plural noun that includes women) do. Those are all normal actions of sinful men who reject God and His moral laws.
What upsets me the most is Christians. That’s right, CHRISTIANS; those who name the Name of Jesus Christ and then disobey His command to be salt and light, who squander our God-given privileges of self-government, and who hold hands with the forces of darkness to their own demise. And in case you are wondering exactly who those Christians are, let me be perfectly clear; the chances are it is YOU!
YES, YOU! You with the Christian bumper stickers; you who post Jesus memes with happy platitudes on Facebook; you who sit beside me in church. You are responsible for all those reprobates who scheme to rule over us with the very power and authority that was rightfully yours. You gave it up. You deliberately forfeited it.
I say YOU because you comprise the majority (60%) of all eligible, nominal Christians and you DON’T VOTE. You didn’t vote in 2012, you didn’t vote in 2008, and you most likely didn’t vote in elections prior to that. Furthermore, you probably won’t vote next time even after reading this rebuke.
You are like the unwise servant who buried his talent. Our constitutional representative republican form of government was a costly gift to YOU. Good men fought, sacrificed and died for this amazing experiment in self-government so that YOU could enjoy your liberty. And you buried it.
But you have principles, you say. You cannot violate your conscience by voting for a candidate who doesn’t quite agree with you on every point so, by default, you have cast your lot for the other side. And you won't vote for a man whose faith is different from yours. Well, you're not voting for a pastor, for crying out loud. Statistically speaking, you make up the largest voting block of all demographics and you were responsible for the election of those who would destroy our representative republic. If only 5-10 percent of you had actually taken the time to vote right, we would not be witnessing the political death of our nation.
So enjoy your new tyrannical totalitarian government; you are responsible for it, you deserve it, and you own it. If you did nothing to stop it, then you have no right to complain about it. And when your children and grandchildren ask, “What happened to the United States of America on June 26, 2015?” you can tell them, “I DESTROYED IT.”
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” James 4:17

My wife was just laying the root of the problem on the churches. Not only have people neglected to vote but the church has refused to speak out in the public square, called for "seeker friendly" atmosphere instead of repentance and gone out to dinner on Sunday. Actually, that last one is my addition.
Keep saying it. Maybe someone will listen, but as you know, you are preaching to the choir.
Grace and peace
