Local election in Norway

We arrived home yesterday just in time to see the leaders of the political parties discussing the result of the local election that had just been finished earlier the same evening. Solveig and I voted beforehand because we would be away on election day. Ever since I reached the age when I could vote I have voted for righteous people. It is our duty to vote for people of integrity, wisdom and insight that our society may have the best possible government, locally and nationally.

I am quite amazed at the result of the election, and a little bit sad. I am sad because of the values behind the result, or the lack of values. But I am confident that the Lord has everything in control! These are the days of great opportunities for the gospel of the Kingdom of God in our society. My prayer is the the believers will raise to the challenge and bring the good news to our people, hungry for spiritual realities!
