Most of the people I know that vote Democrat are lazy, ignorant and have their hand out wanting something for nothing. The people I know that vote republican are extremely intelligent, high moral values, hard working and usually Cristian which is why the have high moral values. Democrats don't even try to look into the issues and get the facts, they just believe whatever their candidate says, even lies, and don't bother to see if it's true, which coes back to the lazy part. They are not interested in the truth. The Confessions of a Pro-Life, Right Wing Conservative, Part 1 - Blog Entry02 Nov 2008 03:20 PM Yesterday I made quite a few comments about pro-life candidates, but I agree there are other issues that are important, too. I am amazed at the number of people I talk to that don't understand the basics of economics. I live in Indiana and when I was in high school government and economics were required courses. If you choose a candidate that will raise taxes on corporations consumers will pay more for goods and services as taxes are figured in to the prices. As a Christian I am not concerned a lot about the economy as I know that God is my provider not the government. He has taken very good care of me. I would rather have His favor in my life than anything either candidate has to offer. As far as the war in Iraq, I would rather our troops fight the terrorists over there than here. My daughter has a friend that works at the Pentagon and he said if we pull out our troops too soon that is exactly what will happen. The terrorists will follow our troops home and we will have war here. This election is extremely important and now more than ever all Christians must pray and ask to hear from God as to the direction He would like us to go. We can't go by what we see or how we feel we must use the Word of God for direction our future depends on it. Is the Republican Party the Only Choice for Christians? - Blog Entry01 Nov 2008 09:49 PM The republicans have done something about partial birth abortion. Obama says he will reverse that ban. There is never a reason for aborting a full term baby. If the mother's life is in danger all they have to do is a c-section and they both live. I to believe in taking care of the least of these, but it should be the church not the government. Abortion is not birth control. I believe as does God that life begins at conception. God told Jeremiah that he had a plan for him before he was born and that he knew him in the womb. I am not trying to judge people and you are not going to hell on Wednesday if you vote for Obama but I do believe God will judge those that do not line up with the word. Kara, the Bible does not contradict itself. If that would be so God would be a liar. Contradictions seem to be there when scripture is taken out of context. God wants to help others because we feel it is right not because the government forces us to by redistibuting the wealth. I have worked hard for what I have and the Lord has blessed me in so many ways. Only He has the right to take from me. I pay my taxes but I sure don't want them to go up to pay for someone who can work but chooses not to. Is the Republican Party the Only Choice for Christians? - Blog Entry01 Nov 2008 04:49 PM When Saul became King it was because Isreal wanted a king to follow instead of God. So He let them have Saul. He will let us choose who to follow also. John McCain came back from Viet Nam pretty messed up, as did my brother. I can't understand all that happened to him. He has said he was wrong for what he did to his first wife. We all make mistakes and it is our repentance that God is looking for. Obama may say things that make him sound good but his actions speak louder. The church he attended for twenty years was racist and taught hatred to white people. Not to Godly to me. When the Bible says you will know them by their fruit it is talking about actions not what they say or write in a book. Daniel and Joseph kept their eyes on the Lord. Daniel was thrown into the lions den for obeying God instead of the King. Joseph went to prison because of a lie against him but God had a plan and He has a plan for this country. The choice is ours. We must stand up for what is right. We truly are in the last of the last days when the Word says good will appear evil and evil will appear good. Is the Republican Party the Only Choice for Christians? - Blog Entry01 Nov 2008 04:39 PM I understand your story. My dad is gay. He left my mom when I was six years old with my sister who was five and my brother who was two. God loves gay people but He hates the sin. My sister is gay, too. We had a very abusive step-father and she later had some bad experiences with boys and she chose to be a lesbian. Homosexuality, like all sin, is a choice. She wasn't close to the Lord growing up but I was. For a long time the only love I felt I had was from Him. My faith is what kept me going. Later I had a husband who after I married him started doing drugs and was also abusive. I divorced him and raised three children alone. He has since turned his life over to the Lord and we are good friends. My brother had a tough time dealing with a father who was gay. He turned to drugs and alcohol and is in prison. He gets out this month and is coming to live with me. He has been born again and can now accept that dad chose to live the life he lived and it had nothing to do with us kids. There is hope for all of us if we keep our eyes on the Lord. Is the Republican Party the Only Choice for Christians? - Blog Entry01 Nov 2008 04:04 PM To Kara: The Bible says we are to judge others. We are to judge them by their fruits. That way we can know what is in their heart not what they know in their head. Many who call themselves Christian do so because they know it in their head but they don't live it. They can talk the talk but not walk the walk. It is the walk that counts. Even the devil knows the Word. He can talk the talk, but know way comes near walking the walk. We have all sinned but only can be saved through a relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible say a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. You can't say you believe one way but your actions show the opposite. This election is surely an election planned by God. Good vs Evil. The choice is ours. Who's side are you on? God is separating the wheat from the tares. He will find out who truly is on His side. Is the Republican Party the Only Choice for Christians? - Blog Entry01 Nov 2008 03:53 PM I said I was going to vote for the person who aligns with the word of God. In this case John McCain aligns closer to the Word than Obama who comes no where near the Word of God. It is clear in the word the He does not approve of sin, in fact He hates it. Killing unborn babies is sin. Homosexuality is an abomination to God. You are either on God' s side or against Him, there is no middle ground. Show me in the Bible where God says it is ok to stand behind someone who is against Him and maybe then you have something to stand on. You won't find it. I'm sure come judgement day, and that is sooner than you think, we shall all find out where we stand in the sight of God. He judges by looking at your heart and if you can stand by someone who says it is ok to kill innocent babies that says whose side you are on. Do a heart check. Look to God as your source not Obama. He is not the Messiah. Is the Republican Party the Only Choice for Christians? - Blog Entry01 Nov 2008 06:48 AM If you research the Bible you will see that God would not be for Obama. God is against abortion, Obama is for it. God is for marriage between a man and a woman, Obama doesn't care either way. The Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars in the last days, which we are truly in. The Bible says the Church, people are the Church, should take care of the poor not the government. God is to be our provider not the government. People are looking to the government instead of God. That is wrong. Only God can provide more than enough, but we have to look to His Word, the Bible, to know what our responsibility is. I was a single mother of three children who are now grown. God provided all of our needs not the government and I have more than enough because I have sown the seeds necessary. That is how you get out of poverty, you work and sow, that too is in the Bible. Barack Obama has lied in this campaign, against the Word. I was raised a Democrat but as a Christian it is my responsibility to look to the Word. I am accountable for every thought, word, and deed and therefore I want to make sure I align myself with the Word of God not Obama!!!! Are You Struggling to Pay Tithing? - Blog Entry24 Jul 2007 07:12 PM I agree with all of your comments. Tithing is a blessing and through it we are blessed. I have found that tithing is an act of obedience and also and act of faith. Trusting God to do what he said he would do if we give Him back what is already His. He supplies all my needs and some of my wants and I trust Him with all I have as it all belongs to Him. He truly is my provider. Once you start giving and being a cheerful giver it gives you so much joy to know you are making the Lord happy. We are blessed to be a blessing. We can try but we can't out give God. If your heart is right He will give seed to the sower. When He can trust you with little He will trust you with much. Thanks for posting your comments, more people need to hear how the Lord takes care of them when they are obedient |
