And how does illegal immigration impact American housing?* What's the solution to a divided nation?* What's God's purpose for government?* Is it ever right to peacefully disobey the government?* How should Christians respond if our preferred candidate loses?* How can we love our neighbors through politics?With the country divided, we need a spiritual revival now more than ever.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, in this podcast, we're going to see what God says about rebellion, about
0:08.8	sovereignty, about government, about leadership, about our responsibility, about sin, about anxiety,
0:15.4	and about prayer. Yeah, we're all going to cover that in this short podcast today.
0:19.7	We're recording this the day before the United States election.
0:24.3	And all of these issues are at least touching on this election.
0:30.4	Let's start with the rebellion.
0:31.7	You know, there's a Psalm that I've always found extremely intriguing,
0:40.0	particularly when it comes to rebellion.
0:43.2	It's Psalm 2. Check out Psalm 2, ladies and gentlemen.
0:50.8	Psalm 2 says this, why do the nations conspire and the people's plot in vain?
0:58.1	The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed saying, let us break their chains and throw off their shackles. The one enthroned
1:05.4	in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. Now, what's this about? It really seems to me that this is talking about how the nations around the world are in rebellion against God. And this Psalm was written by David, probably related to his coronation as king. He, of course, is trying to follow the Lord. He, of course, doesn't do that perfectly.
1:28.8	But the nations around them don't. They want to throw off the shackles of the Lord. They want to
1:35.9	break the chains of what the Lord wants. And we see that in our government now. We see that in
1:43.0	human governments all over the world. We as people
1:47.6	don't want to follow the Lord. We want to throw off what we perceive to be God's chains and throw
1:53.6	off God's shackles. But the one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them
2:00.7	and his anger and terrifies them and his wrath
2:02.8	saying, I've installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain. I will proclaim the Lord's decree. He said to me,
2:09.7	you are my son. Today, I have become your father. This is a messianic Psalm as well, ladies and gentlemen.
2:15.6	God says, ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
2:19.1	the ends of the earth, your possession. And that's ultimately what's going to happen in the end
