I imagine that most of you in the USA are aware by now of the so-called Tea
Party Movement. Myself, being outside of American politics, I know and
understand very little about it. However, I just read a lengthy article in
the New York Times which some of you might find interesting. You can read it
at the following link:

Personally, my suspicion is that the Tea Party Movement is being manipulated
by the Republican Party, which will do anything to try to destroy Obama.

For the record, as most of you here should already know, I am firmly against
all forms of violence; whether it is war, civil unrest, or whatever. I have
never owned a gun in my entire life, and I never will. I try to live
peaceably with all men, as the Apostle Paul admonished us to do.

Let me emphasize again, as I have in the past in a number of my articles,
that as Bible-believing Christians, we are not a part of this current
worldly system. We are merely passing through it. As such, I firmly believe
that we should not become involved in its political wranglings.

Following are some verses for your consideration:

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Matthew 6:24, KJV

"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out
of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
John 15:19, KJV

"And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the
fashion of this world passeth away."
1 Corinthians 7:31, KJV

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:18, KJV

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you,"
2 Corinthians 6:17, KJV

"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God,
without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse
nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Philippians 2:15, KJV

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which
are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
earth."
Colossians 3:1-2, KJV

"I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all
things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate
witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment
without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord
Jesus Christ:"
1 Timothy 6:13-14, KJV

"No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be
a soldier."
2 Timothy 2:4, KJV

"These all died in faith, not having received the promises,
but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them,
and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers
and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things
declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they
had been mindful of that country from whence they came out,
they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now
they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly:
wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he
hath prepared for them a city."
Hebrews 11:13-16, KJV

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of
God."
James 4:4, KJV

"Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless."
2 Peter 3:14, KJV

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is
not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is
not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world
passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever."
1 John 2:15-17, KJV
