I know a couple of people that say they refused to vote in this past election because God’s hand is on everything. Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s they said. Well, I’d like to say that the past election was not about money for me. One candidate was pro LIFE and another was for killing the unborn. Seemed like a simple decision for Christians – and I am disgusted that so many people I know had such a difficult time deciding what to do. It should have been easy. When you don’t know who to vote for ALWAYS VOTE FOR LIFE. Even if it was a write in. Even if it was for someone that had no hope of winning. Apathy is not biblical. Not voting is certainly not rendering unto Caesar’s either. Not voting is saying, “I will not give my voice. I will not be counted. I will not be heard.”
The right to LIFE is the most fundamental right we have. We need to repent for allowing abortion to be legal in this country. The United States of America is the greatest country in the world because of our foundation. Our founding fathers dedicated this country to God and that is the only reason we have prospered. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!” Fasting and prayer is where we start. Speaking out is where it should lead. Voting is a powerful tool that should not be discarded. It’s where Americans are heard. It’s where our leaders look to see what they should be doing. They represent us!
Wake up, all you followers of Jesus who refuse to vote. The world does not hear your silent protest. Our leaders certainly need to hear your voice – now more than ever. No more killing our unborn Americans. We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights. Among these are LIFE. Always vote for LIFE.
I’d rather debate with nonbelievers than with a group of young christian men who have the habit of forming tunnel vision. Also, these classes are not bible studies but classes where it is usually one-directional learning.
