Dr Dwight Nelson preaching on the topic , The Politics of the Kingdom. He was looking the role of Christians in politics. Here is an excerpt of that sermon.
The Caesar of politics is a Pied Piper who plays a heady and enchanting tune and as it is in the myth he particularly desires of drawing the young after him. Fresh with idealism, it's you. Filled with physical and intellectual energy you are. Passionate about cause you embrace, that's you again.
There isn't a Pied Piper on this planet including the Lord Jesus Christ who would not give His right arm to have you follow after Him. Why? Because you are the stuff of hope, you are the promise of change.
And so the Pied Piper knowing that you want hope and that you believe in change plays the tune for you. Beware the Caesar of politics who can be the enchanting Pied Piper. Because after the last rally is over and election night has ended and you crawl back into your bed and the floor in the hotel ball room is strewn with red, white and blue confetti and deflated balloons reality will once again set in, trust me.
And the voters who recorded and romance with every political promise in the book will soon be forgotten by the political elite who only need our votes and not our opinions and convictions. But if you've learned anything from history, it is that the ends of Caesar are the terminus of impotent power, futile redemption and unconsummated hope.
What you want most, you will never find scampering after the Pied Piper, trust me. Truth be told, there is no political deliverer for the human race or for the American nation.
You think about this. At best, at best the Caesar of politics operates in amoral world of compromise and the necessary choice of the lesser of two evils. For millennia the Pied Piper has piped something about utopia and we keep hoping and believing unless the utopia will come, it has not come yet.
Do you know why? Because what is facing Caesar is the endemic dysfunction, the systemic disease of the human heart that even Caesar's elixir can not heal and can not satisfy, that's why. For more visit http://www.christiansermonsandmusicvideos.com/2015/12/dwight-nelson-sermon-how-to-vote-as.html
