THE CANDIDATES,THEIR COURSES,THE CONSEQUENCES

We are voting for people whose governing
directly and indirectly affects our daily lives.
Consider the concerns: the economy, the
media, Congress, taxes, socialism, global
interactions, responsible immigration, fuel,
court decisions, the surrender of healthy
social and moral values, etc. The pressures
are to discard that very special foundation
upon which our nation rests. Consider also
the war that is being waged from
within and from without against
our historic American heritage.
It requires a serious effort, like
that of our FOUNDING FATHERS, to
change back to the good practices
of moral sense, common sense, business
sense, legal sense, educational
sense, social sense, etc. We are reaping
the consequences of our CONDUCT which is
but the expression of our CHARACTER.
Character is essential in rightly resolving
our conditions. The consequences of indifference,
tolerance, false hope, unprofitable
anxiety and anger will not be a new deal.
Such will be a bad deal. Where the candidates
stand is revealed by what they vote
for and what they promote. But all that is
voted for needs not to be disappointing. At
the very least, let there be a voting for the
good governing of one’s heart. God’s rightful
righteous rule seeks one’s decision to
receive God’s saving grace. We either
vote for the direction of rightness or for the
direction of wrongness. Consider:

A "NO" VOTE IN THE PAST
The elders of Israel said to Samuel:
"Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not
in thy ways: now make us a king to judge
us like all the nations. And the LORD said
unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the
people in all that they say unto thee: for
they have not rejected thee, but they have
rejected me that I should not reign over
them" (1 Samuel 8:5,7). "Pilate saith unto
them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
priests answered, We have no king but
Caesar" (John 19:15).

A "NO" VOTE IN THE PRESENT
"This know also, that in the last days perilous
[difficult] times shall come, for men
shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient
to parents, unthankful, unholy, without
natural affection, trucebreakers… lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God, having
an [outward] form of godliness, but denying
the POWER thereof [that power and life
that makes for inward reality]: from such
turn away... But evil men and seducers
shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and
being deceived" (2 Timothy 3:1-5,13;4:3-4).
"Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools" (Romans 1:22).

YOUR VOTE?
"I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have
set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed
may live, That thou mayest love the LORD
thy God, and that thou mayest obey His
voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto
Him: for he is thy life, and the length of
thy days" (Deuteronomy 30:19-20). The
Lord Jesus said, "Search the scriptures; for
in them ye think ye have eternal life: and
they are they which testify of me. And ye
will not come to me, that ye might have
life" (John 5:39-40). "And this is life eternal,
that they might know Thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou
hast sent" (John 17:3).
God’s proven record of grace and mercy,
rightness and truth, is ours to know. "As for
God, His way is perfect: the Word of the
LORD is tried: He is a buckler [shield] to all
those that trust in Him" (Psalm 18:30).
"Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the
ends of the earth: for I am God, and there
is none else" (Isaiah 45:22). "For the scripture
saith, Whosoever believeth on Him
shall not be ashamed" (Romans 10:11).
