Lost Their Minds and Don’t Know Where to Find Them
As election results finalize, one thing is certain: Millions of Americans have lost their minds and apparently have no idea where to find them. Somewhere between the campaign rallies, political advertisements, social media meltdowns, and ballot boxes, common sense went missing.
Consider the people who knowingly voted for candidates who tolerate hatred toward Jews, champion abortion as a fundamental right, embrace socialism and communism, or insist that men can become women and share bathrooms and locker rooms with young girls. The list goes on. These positions have something in common beyond political ideology. Each raises serious moral questions, yet millions enthusiastically support them.
There was a time when Americans could disagree about taxes, spending, foreign policy, and the proper role of government while sharing a basic understanding of right and wrong. Today, some political arguments require people to suspend common sense, biological reality, and thousands of years of moral teaching.
Apparently, calling evil good and good evil has become a campaign strategy. Isaiah 5:20 warned about precisely that. Hatred masquerades as justice, the destruction of innocent life becomes healthcare, government control is sold as freedom, and confusion over God’s creation is celebrated as enlightenment. It’s quite a political achievement to turn moral disorder into a virtue and then accuse those who recognize it of being dangerous extremists.
There is something deeper going on here than politics. Many Americans seem consumed by anger, resentment, and dissatisfaction with their lives. They search for someone to blame, something to protest, or a political movement promising to make everything right. Their anger becomes their identity, and their ideology becomes their religion. Meanwhile, the very source of peace, wisdom, and direction is waiting for them in God’s Word.
Second Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Imagine that. A sound mind! What a revolutionary concept in an age when emotional outrage is mistaken for wisdom and moral confusion is applauded as progress.
The tragedy is that these choices reach far beyond the ballot box. Elections determine who governs for a season, but the moral decisions people make reveal what governs their hearts. Scripture teaches that every person is accountable before God, and that forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life are found through Jesus the Messiah. There is hope for those who have wandered into deception, but that hope begins with recognizing truth, repenting, and turning toward the One who offers genuine peace.
Political victories fade. Political defeats pass. God’s truth remains. When people knowingly embrace what God calls evil, the consequences extend beyond the next election. They have eternal consequences. And when common sense goes missing along with biblical truth, it is worse than, say it with me: Stupidocrisy.
