Encourages voting for man led by God

We are reminded that history repeats itself over time. How far back do you want to go? Well you can even go back to Biblical times and history just keeps repeating itself.

Reading Judges brought me right back to today. When we start taking God out of everything in our lives and instead of following his laws and forgetting all morals, we instead make laws to conform to what we want, chaos occurs. One good example is taking prayer out of schools; we as parents are to pass God’s word and law to our children. This was done because of one family, yet the majority have to accept their way of thinking and conform to the new laws. (Although this is not what Christians want, it is what politicians want. Is being a politician so important that all Christian values are thrown out the window?) Are they really Christians in their heart?

Another example would be making laws that acknowledge marriage between the same sex, when the Bible tells us that a marriage is between a man and a women. Yet society forces laws on us and requires Christians to accept same sex marriage as it’s equal. We can love the sinner but not the sin; and in our hearts stay true to God’s word.

As a Christian (which is a personal choice), the only thing I can do is pray for the world and vote for the person that I feel is being led by God.

I urge everyone to read the Constitution and use that God-given right to go out and vote as He leads you, not as someone tells you or not because some one pays you to vote. Stand up to the persecution in this country; we have all seen persecution in our heritage, that is why our ancestors came to America so many, many years ago. If we reach out to God and search our hearts, we can all do better and make the right choices. God bless the USA!
