"God Is Bigger Than the UN or Obama"

I have many friends across the United States, and recently I was checking to see how life is treating one of them. I found this statement under her political views. It struck me as one of the saddest things I have seen on FaceBook. Not because she is wrong, mind you, but because she should know better. She and I both attended the same university, for roughly the same amount of time. Sat under the same Sunday through Thursday messages. Had many of the same Bible classes though never the same class period. Yet she is willing to relegate to the background something that is her duty, based only on the faulty assumption that God Almighty will supernaturally intervene if things get too bad. Well, in time He will intervene, of that we are assured. But when He does, His intervention will be to end this earth and annihilate all opposition to His rightful authority --- nothing more, nothing less. So to use this as her political views is nothing short of apathy that this world is doomed for hell. She is copping out on her duty as a citizen, but worse, on her duty as a Christian. Duty is the most misunderstood, abused and misused four-letter word in the English language, because of the responsibility it carries. It infers that one will do what is right regardless of the consequences. In politics, it means you will have to stand alone quite often, and will often make enemies of people who were once your good friends. If you take nothing else from this post, take the conclusion: God IS bigger than the UN or obama or any other thing in this universe. But just because He is, does not give Christians a license to be complacent, useless, apathetic couch potatoes. God saves us to work in His fields. And those fields include politics.
