Something important I think the board needs to hear to help keep this war in perspective:

T total depravity: we are inherently sinful

U unconditional atonement: we need to pay nothing for forgiveness (indeed we cannot)

L limited atonement: not all are saved

I irresistible grace: once called, your eyes will be open, you won’t be able to shut them anymore

P perseverance of the saints: we will face difficulties in this world, since our enemies consist of our own selves, other sinners and the devil himself.

I say this because fixing our government (even permanently) does not solve the God sized hole in our hearts, and there’s no good within ourselves apart from God. This is important to remember as we continue the battle, to know none of us earned salvation or righteousness so we ought to show grace for those not yet awake.

And that, my friends, is true strength.
