Please don't vote...unless you know.
Tomorrow 11 states are set to vote in Republican primaries where 594 delegates are up for grabs in what could either be a death knell or game changer depending on the outcome of the day.
This will be the biggest day of voting since the beginning of primary season in the run up to the presidential elections so far.
Get out and vote, rock the vote, every vote counts…whatever your favorite Election Day mantra may be, the message is always the same.
Go vote!
I think each and every US citizen should vote. And I believe that old saying that it is their duty, however, the blanket statement needs to be adjusted.
Educate your vote, then get out and vote should be the prevailing message.
According to Agent K, a person is smart, people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.
I think there is something to this quote, especially when it comes to elections.
The way we involve ourselves in deciding who will ultimately control our future is so haphazard.
People spend so much time deciding what kind of phone to buy, what they want for dinner, or who to vote for on American Idol, but take a nonchalant approach to picking the leader of our great nation (just barely holding on to that moniker). They often left public opinion or the flavor of the day determine who they vote for.
Your decision should be in depth. It is something you should struggle with and most importantly, especially if you are a Christian, it should align with the Bible.
The decisions made during elections have lasting effects not only on you but your children and your children's children. Don't let an uninformed populace guide your vote.
Please don't approach it like you are picking a horse. There is no prize for getting it right.
You need to understand what you candidate really stands for and what those stances mean.
If you don't understand what socialism is, find out! It sounds great, lots of "free stuff," but nothing is free in this life except for the grace of God.
Know where your candidate has stood on the issues for more than the last few years. If he or she was something else for several decades chances are they are still the same, they just want to win an election right now.
Absolutely get out and vote, but if you don't know your candidate or the potential repercussions of their stance do us all a favor and stay at home.
An uninformed vote is worse than no vote at all.
It's time for a Revival-lution!
CCCP...if you don't know find out.
Is Donald Trump the new Obama?
Is Donald Trump the new Obama?
For the better part of the last 8 years Republicans have been complaining about the lack of authenticity of Barrack Obama.
He says he is a Christian, but doesn't act like it.
He says he isn't a socialist, but doesn't act like it.
He says he loves America...but doesn't act like it.
Republicans were frustrated during his initial election because he had a very telling background, but the people voting for him didn't seem to care or even want to investigate it.
He had, through most of his life, been involved with radicals and Alinskyites pushing for Americas demise.
All his followers seemed to understand about him was Hope and Change.
And it infuriated Republicans.
Now, we are experiencing a similar scenario on the Republican side.
The Donald.
He has drawn large crowds, reminiscent of those of his potential predecessor 8 years ago and like his potential predecessor his campaign is vague but this time much more brash.
Trump has been a public figure for more than 30 years and it is not difficult to understand where he has stood politically over that time due to the vast amount of media available.
It is easy to say that prior to running for office as a Republican, Trump has been anything but.
He was friends with the Clintons and publicly supported their campaigns. He spoke about how he was "very pro-choice," and even supported Obamacare.
Suddenly he is running about with a Bible, a gun, and a pro-life stance.
My fear, is that Trump evaluated the political climate, understood that the likely next president would be Republican, and decided to say whatever he thought would get him into office.
He is simply taken the typical conservative stance and has turned it into a caricature of a Republican. I think that early on he realized that the more outrageous he got the higher his numbers would rise.
Politics is a game of smoke and mirrors anyway, but to ignore decades of evidence is foolhardy.
As a Christian, the toughest pill for me to swallow is the obvious fact that he has manufactured Christian beliefs.
I do not know what is in his heart, and I hope he is sincere, but the evidence states otherwise.
A Christian changed by the grace of God would never say that he doesn't need to repent. Without repenting, there is no grace.
Matthew 4:17
From that time on Jesus began to preach, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
It's time for a Revival-lution!
Should a Christian vote for someone who lies about being a Christian?
Can someone be Christian without ever asking God for forgiveness?
Donald Trump has done just that.
At a Family Leadership summit in Ames, Iowa Trump stated that he didn't think he ever had asked God for forgiveness. Basically, he just doesn't do anything wrong. However, when he does do something wrong he said "If I do something wrong, I just try to make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."
So, a Christian who believes he doesn't do anything wrong? That is a pretty fair assessment of what most liberals will tell you Christians believe. Unfortunately, that is not what Bible believing Christians believe. We know we are flawed and need the sacrifice of Christ on the cross to receive forgiveness. Without Christ we are not worthy of God's grace.
Apparently Donald Trump is worthy, at least he believes he is.
I don't know what is in his heart, but that is not a statement that someone who knows redemption through Jesus Christ would ever say.
It's time for Christians to stop accepting this as Christianity. We need to demand authenticity.
John 14:6
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody comes to the Father except through me."
We need a Revival-lution!
