The Election Connection

Tidbits from today's sermon from THF...

...select capable men from all the people - men who
fear God, trustworthy men who will hate dishonest gain - and appoint them as
officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve
as
judges for the people at all times...

Exodus 18:21-22 NIV

We learned all about the founding fathers today, the ones that wrote the Declaration of Independence. They were men of faith, and the source for the Declaration was biblically influenced. In fact, 24 of the signers were ministers.

In the verse above, the bible makes it clear that the kind of leaders chosen are paramount to the well-being of a nation. Choose a man who makes God their reference point.

As a Christian, it is our duty to vote in this election. We must remember that biblical values make a huge difference in society, and that good citizenship demands obedience to our responsiblities and it establishes a legacy for years to come.

Principles of Choosing:

• Choose conviction over convenience. (2 Samuel 23:3)
• Choose personal character over priviledge (Isaiah 5:20-23)
• Choose people over policies/politics (Psalm 16:7)
• Choose GOD values over political agendas (Psalm 33:12)

5 Questions Important to this Election:

1. How will he value life?
2. How will he view using the unborn for stem cell research?
3. How will he define marriage?
4. How will he address human cloning?
5. How does he validate the weak, sick and elderly? (Euthanasia)

In the last election, 13.75% of Christians voted with a God conscience. If you want God results, do things God's way. Let His voice be heard in this culture. Think about what the bible says, not what is popular opinion when you vote on Nov. 2nd.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke - Irish orator, philosopher & politician (1729-1797)
