00:00:00.000Amber Thurman tragically died after a failed abortion, but now Democrats, the media, and activists are trying to blame Georgia's pro-life law and Donald Trump for her death.
00:00:14.340While we are fact-checking this propaganda on today's episode of Relatable, we are also responding to a recent comment that the Pope made about the election.

00:01:15.900There will be no more sin, no more sorrow, no more partisanship, no more disagreements, that Jesus is going to win.
00:01:22.280He is going to do away with evil forever and ever, and he will rule in perfect peace.
00:01:28.240So whenever we are looking at the chaos and the evil that goes on in this world, and we are tempted to feel like God is doing nothing, remember, he's never doing nothing.
00:01:38.940His eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch.
00:01:44.560I was reading Psalm 49 this morning, and it talks about not worrying when you see an evil person flourishing, becoming wealthy, becoming successful,
00:02:00.400seeming like everything is falling into place for them because that person is going to die just like everyone else.
00:02:07.320And in the end, all of the wealth and the fame that they've accumulated will come to nothing.
00:02:15.740Psalm 37 has the same spirit that, do not be envious of wrongdoers or evildoers, for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
00:02:29.800And Jesus is coming back, and he is going to avenge his people.
00:02:34.820He is going to do away with wickedness forever and ever.
00:02:39.140So we can trust that his wrath is kindling, that he has the day, the hour of his return already planned out, and he has since before time began.
00:02:51.740So our responsibility is to trust, to trust and obey, to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God, knowing that he wins in the end.
00:03:03.300And yet, Jesus winning is not an excuse for our apathy or our disengagement.
00:03:10.520As we've talked about several times, Jeremiah 29, most people know Jeremiah 29, 11,
00:03:16.260for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
00:03:21.780That's a beautiful verse when we're looking at it in context.
00:03:24.860But if you look at the entirety of that chapter, God is speaking to Israelites in captivity, in exile, in Babylon.
00:03:34.880And one of the commands that he gives them is to seek the welfare of the city that I have placed you in,
00:03:42.280for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
00:03:46.020Well, we're not ancient Israel, but we as Christians are exiles in this world, in this life.
