VOTE

Published in THE CHRISTIAN RANCHMAN August 2008

VOTE FOR CHRISTIANITY, MORALITY AND PATRIOTISM

Christianity, morality, patriotism, and reverence to GOD are attributes that we all respect and desire in our lives and in the lives of those who we have daily contact. I certainly don’t know of anyone that would enjoy being lied to or stolen from, and I feel sure that you don’t, either. Truthfulness, honesty, sincerity, caring and understanding are elements that are greatly admired and wanted in everyone who touch our lives and the lives of those we love. And I guess why I am on the subject I should mention, responsibility and accountability, too.
Cowboys and cowgirls, if we desire and respect those qualities in those around us then we certainly should desire the same in our elected officials, those who are responsible for our laws and governing acts. All of the attributes mentioned above should be required from all elected officials, regardless of the office or position they are seeking. Remember we are talking about “One nation under GOD” and singing “GOD bless America.”
As I reflect on the many laws that have been placed into force over the last thirty or forty years I cannot believe that the attributes described above were evident as these laws were developed and voted upon. The patriotism that was once so strong now says it is OK to burn the flag because it is freedom of expression, the flag that stands as the symbol of freedom throughout the world. When in reality it is allowing those guilty of such an act to trample the blood of the thousands upon thousands who have died in battle while fighting for the right to fly that flag.
When we consider the attributes that are so respected above, how could they have been used to make a law that it is a crime to post “THE TEN COMMANDANTS” in a government or public place? And even worse, it is against the law to pray to ALMIGHTY GOD at a sporting event or even a graduation ceremony. And to top it all off, it is law to murder millions of unborn babies under the label of “freedom of choice.” All of this because of weak, easily swayed, self-serving law makers in the senate and congress that have sold out to satan and his evil workers.
Now, you may think that I am being overly hard on our public servants, but actually I am only stating facts. Facts that I wish were not true, but they stand out as a blaring statement against the ones who were voted into those offices only to miss use and abuse their authority. I ask each and every one to vote and to PRAY, PRAY and PRAY before they vote. And especially to research each and every candidate and if they do not measure up to the spiritual, moral and patriotic standards then do not vote for them and tell those you know about their record and history of voting for laws that are destroying this country.
What a wonderful prospect it would be if each law maker would start every day with true prayer to the ETERNAL FATHER. What a glorious, solid and confirming movement if they looked to our LORD JESUS CHRIST for guidance and direction in the law making and decisions, and the good of the nation and the people were first and foremost in their minds and agenda. Please “vote” and PRAY, PRAY and PRAY and seek HIS guidance. May GOD bless you and may GOD bless America. Dave
