I have opinions about who we should vote for, but that is neither here nor there, when man persists in using manipulation and power plays to get elected, rather than just telling the truth and leaving the results to God, there is no hope.
It takes faith to obey God much more than attempting to figure out which method will work best to manipulate and deceive the voting populous. Faith in our own devices will always bring trouble and be ineffective in making headway long term.
When we place our faith in Christ, do as He commanded, telling the truth everywhere we go, then we will see the true pulse of the nation. If we cannot win votes by truth, then that tells us the level of depravity and wickedness of our nation.
Christians in elections, have been compromising God's principles to win for many years. The level of honesty is at an all-time low in most people, and even more so in politicians.
Some Christian politicians have managed to maintain their integrity, but many who say they are "Christians" are merely using the title to gain the block of Christian voters that can push them over the edge into victory.
Our president Bush was one of those who claimed to be a Christian, but stated that there are many ways to God. He never came against Islam, except what he called "the extremists", whom he claimed did not represent all Muslims. Any Muslim who follows their holy book, the Koran, WILL love to kill anyone who is not Muslim, especially Jews and Christians.
Our focus now must be total honesty and integrity when voting, no matter where it takes us. I want to ask all those who spent years manipulating verbiage, hiding our true aim, "how has this been working out for you?" We are further along in our level of corruption in the government, our laws allowing for immorality and murder have been enhanced and added to, in the past few years.
Why can't conservative Christians get elected nationwide? The answer......we are a sinful and rebellious people who spur any sort of correction or instruction in righteousness.
Why do we have to manipulate public perception to get believers elected? The answer.....because we know the voters will not tolerate blatant displays of morality or rejection of immorality.
The general populous does not care about the immorality and most endorse it in one way or another, simply by accepting it while saying nothing against it.
I hear believers claim to want "conservative, moral" leaders but have completely accepted divorce and remarriage in their church gatherings, even pastors have gone this route, while some are on their third and fourth marriages themselves. Within the church now we have people living together in sin, women dressing in bikinis at the beach, most Christian youth are attending rock concerts and immoral movies.
AND WE WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT POLITICIANS!!!!!
The church has no business crying and whining about the state of the nation when their own house is a mess, most people in them are not hearing the true gospel of repentance. They think because they preach against killing babies, their sin is not as bad as that, so they are alright with God. NOT!!!
The sin in the church is rampant, those who claim to be believers, while living in sin, fight and argue against us when we chastise them, while continuing to complain about our "corrupt" government. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
We have no right to expect our government to do better than we are doing. Next time you are tempted to complain, take a look at your own state. Are you in the Word of God for the purpose of finding His will for you, or are you reading the things you like and extracting from the context things you want to believe? Twisting God's Word to fit your desired lifestyle, is the favorite tactic of phony believers.
The politics of our time is doing nothing less than following the will of the people. Our only hope as a nation would be nationwide public repentance, while individuals in every home confess their sin and becomes born again.
Without this all our efforts to make our country "moral" and "Godlike", is going to continue to fail.
Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!"
Isaiah 60:12 "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste."
2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."
Look what God said to Judah, when they acted like we are acting!
Daniel 9:3-21 "Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far away, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you."
Notice that our sin was not only against the people of the nation but against God Himself.
What is our mandate from God? It is answered here in Matthew!
Matthew 28:18-19 "And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"
