Early Voting Midterms

The midterm elections are just around the corner, and early voting has begun.

Christians have a lot to think about.

First and foremost, it’s crucial to get out and vote.

It’s our right to vote, and our duty to stay informed.

 Unhinged Political Parties

As a former television reporter, I used to like covering elections. It was fascinating to observe the passion of the campaign workers and their reactions at the end of an election night.

Interviewing candidates from both sides of the political spectrum was an eye-opening experience I’ll never forget.

Of course, news stations were more objective back then.

Unfortunately, now there are people letting the mainstream news media, social media commenters, and late-night pundits influence their decisions in the voting booth.

And, in some states, the intimidation has gotten worse.

Did you ever think that, here in the United States, a mob mentality would be considered acceptable by some, even in the media?

What a sad reflection of our times.

Christians – Socialism is Not The Answer

Socialism is not the answer.

Sadly, it’s no secret that some churches have taken a left turn, and turned away from the Gospel message in favor of more social programs.

Here’s what’s getting lost in the shuffle:

The purpose of the church is to preach the gospel message and reach lost sinners.

The beauty of the church is that believers are often among the first to want to volunteer to help others – whether it involves mission work, charitable causes, or helping victims during natural disasters.

We don’t need churches abandoning the complete Gospel message and catering to what the media or lobby groups think the church should be.

Biblical Christian Values

My vote in the midterms will be based on who most represents (and will protect) my Biblical Christian values.

I will not vote for candidates who support Planned Parenthood (for example) just because that candidate has a better marketing campaign, is more popular, a Hollywood darling, the media loves him or her, and he or she “promises” to help the poor.

I research these issues and sadly, there’s a disguised socialist agenda gaining speed which Christians need to be very aware of.

Millions of babies die every day due to abortion. But abortion is not the only issue at stake.

Our freedoms as Christians are also at stake.

Normally, I wouldn’t share a video longer than about four minutes because I know you all are busy. I make an exception when the message presented is exceptional.

Please listen as Pastor Tommy Nelson talks about what’s at stake. The video is not quite an hour long, but it’s important to get a more realistic perspective than what the media is saying to you.

Please pray for godly wisdom as you go to the polls.

God bless
