God's Truth and the 2020 Election

We apologize for the poor audio of this recording. The wrong setting was used in the recording.

In my library I have a very fat book of almost 1600 pages entitled, Political Sermons of the American Founding Era, 1730 – 1805.
This collection of sermons is published by the Liberty Fund.
It is an amazing insight into American religious life and the sermons of this age.

The last sermon in the book is from 1805 preached by a minister named Joshua Hargrove.
Hargrove preached a sermon on the Second Coming of Christ and the Last Judgment before both houses of Congress in Washington D.C.
Now unfortunately I don't believe that the minister Joshua Hargrove was orthodox in his belief because he was a follower of Emmanuel Swedenborg, a mystic and heretic who still has a following today.
[There is a school in Glenview, IL connected with the heretical teaching of Swedenborg.]

The early history of our nation was blessed with many who were faithful to God's truth, but we also see from our early days false teachers and heresy.

Do we not see the same thing today?
We know that God has a people, a remnant that He calls, protects, and preserves.
There are also those who falsely take the name of Christ and seek to lead God's people astray.
And there are true believers who are confused, even misled by false teaching and ideas on politics.

In light of the election already taking place in our nation, I want us to consider from Scripture a number of basic principles that we confess and must practice as God's people.

We come before God with reverence, thankfulness, and trust praying that God will give us a faithful witness in a time of great uncertainty and challenge.
