Do you see our nation’s political system described in this passage? Leave comments below.
Exodus 23:1-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
1 You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.
3 You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute.
6 “You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute.
7 Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.
8 And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

My life mission is to help people connect with God in a way that will change their lives forever. Hopefully this site will be helpful to you in that way. Perhaps that is why God brought you to this site! Perhaps He is reaching out to you right now, because He cares deeply about you and wants to connect with you. Are you open to that? Invite Him into your life right now! Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and to reveal Himself to you. And get ready to begin enjoying life at the highest levels possible as you follow Him and enjoy life in His presence! I am passionate about helping people find God, because ultimate happiness, peace, and satisfaction comes when we are walking in relationship with our Creator.
I love to write, and my articles have been featured on some pretty amazing websites like BibleStudyTools.com, Crosswalk.com, Christianity.com, Jesus.org, iBelieve.com, and many others. As a matter of fact, BibleStudyTools.com regularly posts my writings, and it's been a blessing to be associated with this great ministry of the Salem Communications Network.
Of course, my greatest love (outside of my relationship with God) is my family. I happen to be married to my best friend, Leigh, and I have 3 amazing children (Quentin-25, Abbey-22, and Olivia-19). I am very blessed.
I am currently available for guest speaking opportunities, so feel free to contact me if you would like more information. View all posts by Chris Russell
That’s a bipartisan indictment right there. There is no innocence in either of the US main two parties.
The answer does not lie in the governance that mankind provides. No matter how good it is at the beginning, because of indwelling sin, it will drift toward godlessness.
Great points! Thanks for sharing!
