We'll have full election results breakdown / reaction on next Live Free episode, but some quick thoughts...
1) The Sovereignty of God over all things is a deep comfort. As the old Christian saying goes, "I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow."
“For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47)
2) It is sad and grievous. Romans 1 says God’s “passive wrath” is when he “gives them up” to their sin and evil desires – when He stops restraining a people from destroying themselves and lets them have the evil things they want.
The United States intentionally chose things like max-boosting infant murder up to the moment of birth, legislated sexual perversion that will wreak havoc on a rising generation, the expansion of Islamic influence on our nation, elected leaders openly hostile to Christianity, and in at least 2 cases (TX and Kansas) chose what the New Testamant would define as (and I do not say this lightly or flippantly) demonic, apostate false teachers to lead them.
This is an example of Romans 1 playing out before your eyes.
3) There is no political solution to a spiritual problem. Politics cannot fix what politics did not break, and Mankind was broken long before any political system.
The hope of the world has been and remains Jesus Christ, reformation and revival in our nation that has the ability to reach inside the chests of men and women and make them new men and women who want (and vote for) new things.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
4) Important lessons to be learned for conservatives. Wisdom would not be to blame *everything* on "dumb / evil voters."
Basic leadership: "Face the brutal facts (learn and adjust), maintain unwavering faith."
5) Sadness is ok, but despair is a sin. "Therefore, we DO NOT lose heart" (2 Cor 4:16).
Head up, chest out, knees down, glory up... do not grow weary in doing good, we build and fight (Nehemiah).
What are we going to do? Get up with joy in our eyes, love in our hearts, steel in our spines and keep assaulting heaven for an outpouring of God's Spirit, sharing Christ, planting churches, making disciples and deploying them in all areas of society in eager anticipation of the next Great Awakening in our land.
Tomb's still empty, y'all :)
6) We do what the people of God have always done in time of need: WE PRAY.
See you at Encounter tonight at all Lakepointe campuses at 7pm, doors open early for you to come and "pray for the prayer meeting."
To everyone worried about Bottoms as Governor, go ahead and unclench your bottoms.
Is Bottoms winning good? No.
Does it mean she will be as bad of a governor as she was mayor? Most likely yes.
Does it mean there are roughly two million morons in this state? Also yes. The same ones that Stacey had four years ago.
The real problem isn’t them. After all, you can’t fix stupid. The real problem is the nearly 3.5 million eligible voters in the state that didn’t vote at all. You’re the real problem.
Your selfishness is evident in so many problems we face as a society. Not voting says you’re lazy, entitled, and not willing to stand up for what’s right. Basically the same things the leftist agenda is built around, and even though it’s frustrating that someone could actually vote for Bottoms, it’s far more aggravating those who just flat out didn’t vote.
As my grandfather says, “It’s pure sorriness.” And he’s right. It is.
But the good news is we as a state won’t have to be sorry just because you’re sorry. Georgia will be fine either way. Republicans always have a majority in the House and Senate at the state level, and as a result the governor is more of a glorified figurehead with not much effect when they’re on the opposition side.
We will survive, Georgia will continue to thrive (despite Keisha), and it’s still a great state to call home.
All choices have consequences, and to all the Georgians that “chose to not vote,” you got exactly what you voted for.
Keisha Lance Bottoms quit Atlanta after the crime spike and the fees.
Yesterday Kemp and Jackson called it: bad mayors don’t make good governors.
Today’s the vote.
Talking points or a real income tax cut in half for Georgia families.
Rule number three in life: Don’t be a democrat.
Vote today!
Rick Jackson in Cumming last night: cut the state income tax in half, freeze property taxes. Keisha Lance Bottoms quit Atlanta after the crime spike and the fees. Tomorrow we decide if talking points beat a real cut for Georgia families.
Early voting closed last night with a record 2.8 million. Tuesday’s left. Bad mayors don’t make good governors. Bottoms quit Atlanta after the crime spike and the fees. Talking points aren’t a record.
Obama showed up in Clayton last night to tell us Keisha Lance Bottoms cares. The same Bottoms who quit Atlanta after the crime spike and the fees. Now she and Ossoff want the rest of us to trust the same record. Talking points aren't a record.
Jackson with Trump last week: bad mayors don’t make good governors. Keisha Lance Bottoms quit Atlanta after the crime spike and the fees. Now she and Ossoff want the rest of us to trust the same record. Talking points aren’t a record.
Mike Collins toured a Georgia hospital with the Trump administration to highlight nearly $219 million in new federal funding for rural health care. Jon Ossoff answered with another rally.
Talking points aren't a record.
Keisha Lance Bottoms wants cities and counties to drop local grocery taxes, with a $250 million state backstop if the legislature agrees. Georgia already ended the state grocery tax.
Rick Jackson's cuts don't wait on 159 county commissions.
Keisha Lance Bottoms held a one-woman show in Macon last night. Said Rick Jackson doesn't care about Middle Georgia because he skipped it.
Funny… the same Bottoms whose Atlanta record we're all still paying for.
Georgia's touchscreen voting system still has a known flaw that can match voters to their ballots. Early voting starts October 13. The State Election Board declined to force the fix first.
Secret ballot is in the state constitution. Why is that surprising at this point?
Jon Ossoff transferred more than $3.6 million into Georgia Democrats' coordinated campaign. The AJC says it's meant to lift Keisha Lance Bottoms and the rest of the ballot, not just his own race.
Talking points aren't a record. A war chest for the machine is.
Rasmussen has Rick Jackson up 48-45 on Keisha Lance Bottoms.
She answers by demanding six debates.
Atlanta starts the morning with another shooting outside a restaurant.
Priorities.
Remember this November: Keisha Lance Bottoms wants Georgians to trust her Atlanta crime record. The city hit 157 homicides in 2020 and 158 in 2021 while she was mayor.
Bottoms wants this for the whole state.
State Election Board member Carolyn Roddy wants Georgia's touchscreen voting machines patched before early voting on October 13. The Secretary of State's office says the recommended update isn't certified and would take months.
Why is that surprising at this point?
Keisha Lance Bottoms wants a statewide freeze on new data centers. Monday she went after Rick Jackson for a Texas stake he already disclosed.
As Atlanta mayor she greenlit the Coda data center at Georgia Tech with bonds and a long tax break.
That's her resume.
Gov. Brian Kemp endorsed Mike Collins for Senate. Ossoff's campaign spent the day complaining he waited too long and recycling the same insults.
When name-calling is the whole rebuttal, the record must not look great.
