Critical

11/5/2012

I have never been one that voices my opinion on politics.  I have family on both sides, I have friends on both sides and for those who know me well, you know that I despise confrontation!!!!  I keep my mouth shut in order not to offend anyone.  I just cannot stay silent on this.  Tomorrow is one of the most critical elections that America has ever faced.  
I know that both sides feel this way, and I also know that no matter who wins this election that God is still in control and He still reigns on His throne. 

For me, this election is not about what party you have always been affiliated with.  For me, as a Christ follower, this is an election about standing firm on the word of God.  I have never seen someone so actively pursue the pushing out of God's principles as I have in the last four years.  As a Christ follower, I truly can't wrap my mind around voting for someone who is so firmly and very proudly against what the word of God calls us to.  

 You may be saying that I just need to keep "religion" and state separate.  And of course I have my opinions on the economy and why things have to change anyway, but regardless if you will ever agree with me on that, I urge you to truly seek God before you go vote tomorrow.  As a Christ follower, there is NOTHING that separates my choices, my actions, my decisions from standing firm on EVERY Biblical principle.  As a Christ follower, I don't get to pick and choose which scriptures I will live by and which ones I will ignore because it is not popular in this day and age or even because it is just not comfortable for me.  When I gave my life to Christ, I surrendered my life to Him, not my flesh, and definitely not the government.  My devotion will always be with my loving Savior who has ransomed me through His amazing grace from the life that I could be living right now.  My allegiance is for the Man who chose to give His life for me, whether that makes me popular in your eyes or not.  

I love my family and my friends unconditionally and I always will...no matter what.  I am just begging my brothers and sisters in Christ to please put aside all the political debate mess for just a time and go to your Lord and seek HIS face in this matter.  What would He do?  I could never believe that He would vote for the man who seeks to do away with His principles, His will and His name.
