The religion of politics

There are many forms of religion in the world.

The religion of politics is preached by politicians who promise equality, justice and peace on Earth and young people are duped into believing them.

This is not a religion about the salvation of one’s soul but about the improvement of one’s bodily and social condition. Many people prefer this religion, especially young people.

Once hooked by their preachers, these young people rarely change their religion. Occasionally they may change their political party, but their religion is still about their social conditions.

Teenagers often form life-long opinions at this stage in their life.  Pride prevents them changing their opinion, so it is quite alarming to think that one’s lifelong pathway is determined by teenage opinions and decisions.

When their politics fails to provide what they want, they may change their party.  They do not often change their religion.  Some brave souls do; the rest make do, excusing their disappointments on one thing or another. but not their religion.

The only Person Who will not fail you is your God, Who has patiently waited for you to seek Him through all the failures in your life.  He will not wait for ever but He has given you many intimations of His presence.

Will you turn to Him while there is time?
