Finally, when you speak to your congregation this week, remember that you represent nothing less than the voice of Christ. How desperately America needs to hear that singular voice raised distinctly above the others. The Apostle Peter admonishes you: "let him [speak] as if he were speaking the very words of God (1 Peter 4:11)."
The change we most need is not going to be in our national policies or politics, as important as they are. IT will be in our hearts—in our view of God, of ourselves and our fellow men and women. Jesus did not seek to change the world one precinct at a time, but one soul at a time. While you won't be able to change the whole world by yourself, Pastor, one thing is for sure: for the next soul you influence, it could make a world of difference.
