"I do not sit with false persons, nor fellowship with pretenders; I hate the company of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked. I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O LORD, that I may make the voice of thanksgiving heard and may tell of all Your wondrous works." (Psalm 26:4-7, Amplified Bible)
One former Republican Primary Candidate and most so-called "conservative" leaders are revealing themselves to be "conservatives," but are not thinking or acting like people of the Kingdom, "of our Lord and of His Christ," Jesus. They are politicians. The last I heard, most conservatives still can't make up there minds as to whom they are going to support for the Republican Party's Presidential Nominee. I read this morning an article which stated that in the Nevada Caucuses last Saturday, Romney won "self-identified conservatives, tea party supporters, evangelical Christians, and all income groups except those making less than $30,000 a year." There is no candidate whose positions reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ more than Rick Santorum. Yet even so-called "evangelical christians," are still vacillating on support. They spend too much time in, "the company of evildoers...and with the wicked," or, as the NKJV says, "have...sat with idolatrous mortals." Dear reader, I can say with absolute certainty: The GOP, even Fox, has plenty of both.
Anytime I pray for anything or anyone, my prayers are Bible Prayers, which are, "God-Breathed," prayers, not Republican or Democrat or Libertarian or Socialist or Communist or Capitalist or, or. Now some would say, "Pray your own prayers." Bible prayers are "my own." The only, I repeat, only antidote for wrong thinking is, "sound doctrine," which can only be found in the Bible. The alternative to, "sound doctrine," is unsound doctrine. I submit that if those who name the Name of Jesus Christ would become a serious Bible student, they would not be fooled, duped, deceived by politicians or anyone else for that matter. I don't vote "party;" I vote Kingdom.
In our text, King David makes a vow while he is praying. He realizes that there is only one way to walk in blessing. "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His Law he meditates day and night." Maybe a little less 'Fox," and a lot more, "in His Law."
Father, in Jesus' Name, "Keep Me Near the Cross," because, "In the cross, be my glory ever," in You, Jesus, in You, Holy Spirit, in, "the faith of Jesus," Your "God-Breathed," Words. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
