Some Thoughts Following the Election

This message from Hosea 10:1-15 by Pastor Rod Harris was delivered at Trinity Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, November 4, 2020.

Stakes are high in this election. Both sides in the presidential race made statements about not “accepting” the results and “lawyered up” weeks before. Now, we are faced with possibly not knowing the outcome for days or weeks.

I just want to share some thoughts about how we, the Church, relate to the nation. We have a responsibility to speak to the nation – both the government and its citizens. We must not allow partisanship to distort our vision or silence our voice. Corruption is corruption, evil is evil and injustice is injustice regardless of who is in “power.” And we must not fail to hold the moral rope. We must not fail to point to a higher standard. We must speak the truth with passion and conviction. We must fulfill our prophetic role.
