Christians and Politics
For many years I refused to vote. I completely believed that both parties were bad. Neither party actually cares about the people, so why should we support either side? I took my stand by refusing to be part of it. As I have gotten my life in order with God, I have come to the understanding that it is imperative that Christians should vote.
Today I still believe that neither party cares about the people. I fully believe that both parties are controlled by an elite. They put so much money into those parties that they have no choice but to do what the elite want. That is a big reason why presidents so rarely actually fulfill their promises. Another big reason is because whoever wins, the other side refuses to work with them. Both parties will always do everything they can to stop the other party from doing anything. So I still fully believe both parties are basically self serving and do not even care about the people. Yet it is extremely important to still vote. Why? Because we as Christians have one purpose. To serve God!
It does not matter which party you believe will be better for the economy. It doesnt matter which party you think is more truthful. It doesn't matter what you think of either party. You as a Christian have a responsibility to God!
Democrats stand up for all of the sins that God is against. They push for homosexual rights and marriage. They fight for more abortion. They are often trying to take God out of anything they can. They took prayer out of schools. They took God out of public places. They support Islam more than they support Christianity. Many of them are calling Christianity a dangerous religion! One of the Democratic candidates is saying that as President, if churches will not support homosexual marriages that he would strip them of their rights of being tax exempt. He is willing to punish the church for staying true to the beliefs God laid out for us!
As a Christian, I would not want to die someday and face God and have to explain how I supported the party that was anti-God in nature! As a Christian, I have one rule that must stand above all other rules. I will serve God over anything else. As a Christian we cannot say we serve God and vote for the anti-God party to be in charge of our nation!
As Christians, we need to make a decision. Do we serve God or do we serve Satan? Do we support the party that supports God, or do we support the party that is anti-God?
Now as Christians, you are free to vote where your heart is. The question is, where is your heart? With God or Satan? Because that is basically what it boils down to. You cannot serve two masters! If you do not vote to serve God above your own desires, then you are serving the other master.
