Post Election Depression

I think I am in denial of my post election depression. Amazed once again that our country seems to elect presidents with a broad stroke. I believe that it is a direct result of unrest in our society. Even though we may not recognize it, our Father in heaven is still calling us to Himself, and our resistance shows up in the voting habits and our disassociation from some political figures. I have said in the past that we believe the worst about people when it benefits our cause and we also believe the best about people, or dismiss bad aspects, when it benefits our cause.

 This mess is not about a political figure it is about us and until we fix us we will never find comfort. We are still trying to be our own masters, going through life complaining about others and in many ways demanding that the world change to fit our needs; yet it was Christ who came to serve, showing us an example of servant hood. "Listen, I will tell you a mystery!" "We will not all die, but we will be changed." (1Corinthians 15:51,53) This is what we should expect in our lives if we are to become the Christian that we claim to be. 
A good friend of mine was posting on facebook "I love that we are a Republic" "I love that we are a Christian nation" "I love that we are a democracy" and I acknowledge that I paraphrase what he had actually said to make my point or I guess you could say his point. My reply to his post was, "Are you being sarcastic?" His reply was "No" and so I explain why I am shocked by his post and somewhat dismayed. 
I challenge you as I challenge many, to define what it means to be a Christian. If you define it correctly I do not believe that you can claim that our nation, as a whole, could be considered Christian. Jesus told us that we could judge a tree by the fruit that it bears. If that is the case, and because I believe the scriptures, I believe in this statement declares to us, or it should, that we are failing as a so called Christian nation. 
When you look at corruption at every level of government; when you consider that the higher end of society continues to expand the division between classes, as far as money or wealth is concerned.
Yes you will say to the world that it is not a sin to be rich, that many characters in the bible were wealthy. I give you that. What I see though is disparity between society as far as helping and serving each other. In the days of Jesus walking the Earth the disciples and the people of society felt it was appalling for anyone but a slave to wash your feet when entering a house. Yet Jesus washed the feet of his disciples in an attempt to show them a better way. I ask you "If we are a Christian nation, why aren't we better at washing the feet of others? Why are there homeless, hungry, and naked people in our world. 
Yes our country is working at helping the world and yes we have our hands in so many other countries trying to be the hand of care, but we are not doing enough in my opinion because what I hear from many of the conservatives in society is, "don't ask me to help" or "It's not my halt" or "I am not paying" yes the bible calls us to work but it mostly calls us to be the hand of God into the world. It is not about them it is about us, you and me.
