Politics: It isn't the answer, but it might point the way.

Politics isn't the answer, but. . . :

Last night Donald Trump accepted the Nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States.  Unless something totally unforeseen happens, next week Hillary Clinton will receive the Democrat nomination.  Both of these candidates achieved their position at the top of the ballot by winning millions of votes in primaries and caucuses.  I’ll wait until after Mrs. Clinton officially gets the nod before commenting on her candidacy, but clearly Mr. Trump tapped into some widely held views among American voters.  Jim Denison offers ten reasons why Mr. Trump won his party’s nomination.  I’ll not repeat them here.  Basically, the summary is that Donald Trump fits the mood of our nation—or at least a significant portion of it—right now.  What I will quote from Denison is this:
 
Many Americans are angry, afraid, skeptical, and frustrated.
 That's bad news for our culture, but good news for the gospel.

Ultimately the solution to our problems is not political, because ultimately the problems are not political.  Campaign truthfully, and vigorously.  Inform yourself on the issues that face our nation—or for you non-Americans, your nation.  However, know that what we really need doesn’t flow from the halls of government, rather it comes from the abundance of God’s grace.
 
My hope is in the Lord,
Who gave Himself for me. 

It’s STTA.
