Powerful reframing of the faith-politics tension. The observation that both bubbles claim righteousness while the Gospel stands apart is crucial, tho rarely acknowledged in practice. I've seen congregations fracture over precisely this conflation of temporal power with eternal truth. The John 10 passage grounds things well, th permanence of divine security versus the transience of political victories matters more than most want to admit.
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
May we keep the Gospel in our pulpits most of all.

Thank you for reading but most of all thank you for keeping and affirming the faith.
