Vote for LIFE.

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.

An Open Letter to Glenn Nye

An open letter to Glenn Nye, a man running for Congressman of Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District:

Mr. Nye,

I would have no problem voting for you, except for one issue. You have consistently affirmed that you “support a woman’s right to choose” whether to kill her baby or not.

The Declaration of Independence says that some truths are self-evident, and don’t require any digging to expose them. First among these is the right to Life. Everyone has the right to live. It is inconceivable to me that a man of faith as yourself would be unable to see this self-evident right of all humans, whether in the womb or out of it.

I believe this blindness to such a prominent self-evident truth is the result of corruption in our nation. The proper remedy to this corruption is repentance. This idea is summed up in the Proclamation For a Day of National Humiliation, Fasting & Prayer, by Abraham Lincoln:

“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. 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!

It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”

I pray that you would recognize the truth in President Lincoln’s proclamation, and realize the unspeakable horror that is the result of the mass murder of over 52 million human children over the last 35 years. This realization can only end in repentance for our own culpability in this tragedy.

Thank you for your time and service to our country.

Sincerely,
Nathan DeWitt

Polls

I saw this headline today:
AP/YAHOO Poll of 873 Democrats; 650 Republicans shows OBAMA 44%, MCCAIN 42%…

I suppose people see this as “wow, look how close the election is!” But I see it as something different.

The people polled here are 57% Democrat, and 43% Republican. But the votes are 44% & 42%. Looks like a lot of democrats are not interested in voting for Obama. 13% of them, in fact. I think that’s quite an interesting thing. Why don’t they want to vote for their candidate?

I would expect to see the results of this poll something like 60% Obama, 35% McCain, based on the initial demographics of those polled. But it’s nothing like that.

I think McCain has a much larger percentage of the vote than the polls give him credit for.

Iraq isn’t the issue…

Ok everyone. Here’s what will happen domestically if the democrats when this election:

  1. Increase minimum wage 41%
  2. Cut student loan interest rates in half.
  3. Allow feds to dictate prices to private pharmaceutical companies.
  4. Kill private funding of stem cell research (of which there is approx 3 billion in place), choosing instead to use gov’t funding.
  5. Retroactive tax increases. In other words, you have to pay taxes on last year’s income, income from the year before, income from the year before that, etc.

By the way, this is all in the first 100 hours after they gain control of Congress. I don’t even want to think about Nancy Pelosi being third in line for the White House…
