I’ve seen you post about the new Supreme Court justice appointee as if she’s a member of your family. I’m grateful to be distracted by more important things like the number of nightcrawlers on the sidewalk in front of my house.

As you open your mouth to say, “John, you jerk! You felt differently when Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett were appointed,” let me assure you that is incorrect. I wasn’t gleefully clapping my hands when Trump was elected either. My sense of well-being is completely disconnected from the procedures in the Federal Government.

This is where you’ll say, “John, you jerk! What a lazy, loathsome creature you are for being ignorant about politics!” You say that because you believe that obsessing about politics is what ‘concerned people’ do. You think political activism is the same thing as righteousness. I disagree. An obsession with political activity is no more virtuous than an obsession with the Kardashians.

And I didn’t say I was ignorant about politics. I said my well-being is disconnected from politics. My attitude and demeanor do not depend on the placement of a Supreme Court justice. If you’re a Christian, we should be agreed on this.

The church is headed up by Jesus, not the United States government. Elected officials are irrelevant to church leadership. Your sycophantic celebration of the first black women (whatever that is) to the Supreme Court makes me question your allegiance. Actually, I’m not questioning it at all. It’s pretty obvious who influences your thinking.

I’d recommend turning off the television and cracking open your bible. Politicians are going to let you down, ALL of them. Political obsession is idolatry.

“Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that man gets justice.”

(Proverbs 29:26)
