Is God on Your Side?
What side you are on is the more important question
Everyone who believes in God claims God is in their side. Wars have been fought and both sides prayed to the same God for victory, and claimed they would have it because God was with them.
Today there are liberals and republicans who claim God is in their side. There are debates on whether Jesus would have been a conservative or liberal.
The scriptures do say God is with us, and Jesus said “I am with you” when he sent them out to proclaim the gospel.
What if we turn the statement around? What if we ask, are we with God? Instead of Jesus saying, “I am with you,” picture him saying “you are with me.”
Instead of Jesus saying, “I am with you,” picture him saying “you are with me.”

Are we doing what we want and expecting God to help us, or are we doing what God wants and trusting that vision?
This is true whether it is a religion, a political party or a social movement. The truth is…
