We have got to win this election.

(I hope my friends who are like minded will make this post "go viral".)

 

     Let me start with a little story.  Many years ago, in a land far away, two men stood before their nation and begged and pleaded with them.  They told them their reasoning, and what they believed.  They implored their fellow countrymen to make the right choice on a crucial decision.   In the end, the two men were ignored in favor of the popular message and the nation then reaped the consequences of the choice it made.  THIS IS A TRUE STORY!  You will find it in Numbers chapters 13-14.

     The two men were Joshua and Caleb.  They begged the people to follow God and enter the Promised Land.  In return for their faithfulness to God, their countrymen wanted to stone them.  They "lost" the debate and they journeyed with the rest of Israel in the Wilderness for 40 years.  Yet God rewarded their faithfulness to Him, in spite of what their country did.

     Today, I see "Christians" more loyal to a political candidate than they are to God.  On social media, news stories are shared repeatedly.  Debates between people often turn heated, and we are doing this before the watching eyes of the lost world!  What will they think of "Christians"? What will they think of Christ?

     In this political season, I just want to remind God's Children of a few verses of Scripture:

"But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.  Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.  Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.  MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT SO TO BE." (James 3:9-10)

"The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted." (Psalm 12:8)

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you," (II Corinthians 6:17)

"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him." (Colossians 3:17)

     It is not as vital to "lose" the election as it is to lose our testimony!  Let us be more faithful to God and His standards than we are to the elephant and donkey.  No matter who is elected, God is still on the throne!  We may have to experience the wilderness, but God will remember our faithfulness!  Please vote Biblically, but more importantly, honor Jesus your Savior!  Live for Him, He died for you!

Thank You!
