Today's Photograph . . . . Should Their Sacrifice Be Wasted (Mike E) |
Bible Study Verse
James 4:17
So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin. (Amplified)
Thoughts
Most when there is a
right thing to do just do it. That's determination and integrity. But
how does one wrestle with when they aren't sure with what to do? There
are many arguments and many views.
It amazes me that one
that is diagnosed with cancer will look for the best oncologist for
treatment and what that doctor believes is the second consideration.
Even I when faced with surgery went with the best. It never came up what
this surgeon believed about Jesus Christ. But, I did check his previous
experience on his surgical results. Experience counts!!!!!!!
America is crumbling
financially before our very eyes. We need God's mercy and wisdom to turn
this mess around. We need leadership that has the experience and the
ability to lead in all levels of government. Spending yours and my tax
dollars on things we know to be morally wrong is wrong!!!
Accountability is
crucial to living for Christ in personal life, in leadership, in all
areas. Portraying oneself as a victim doesn't cut it. In sports or in
living no one overcomes without being on the offensive, visualizing
victory, energizing others to come along and win.
God does provide for our
needs. There's been massive amounts of prayer and fasting for this
election. Chuck Colson used Jethro's instruction to Moses on selecting
leaders in Exodus 18:21, "Moreover you shall select from all the people
able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and
place such over them to be rulers . . ." (NKJV).
Jesus paid for our sins
and our citizenship is in Heaven, our accountability requires each while
here on Earth to engage and fight for our Biblical values, where our
tax dollars are spent, and who leads us. Our freedom to worship is
challenged. The Ten Commandments are gone . . . we can't pray in schools
. . . children can learn about sex, witchcraft, even Islam within our
public schools . . . What will we allow next? Your vote can deter or
point what direction America goes unless you vote a vote that doesn't
count. I'm voting because I love this country and I believe voting is a
privilege not a detriment to my Christian example.
Sadly our military can
risk their lives by being deployed, but they can't vote. I spoke to a
young military wife that had been trying to fax her vote in to a
designated fax machine, with confirmation in hand received 6 hours
earlier, she was being told by phone her faxed vote had never been
received. She explained she had been doing this for 4 weeks, but she
wasn't giving up. She, also, told me her husband in the Mideast hadn't
received a ballot to vote with. I encouraged her to contact her senator,
who is a war vet.
Action Point
Pray for God's guidance and choose candidates supporting your Biblical values. At every political level MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT.
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
To
be sure on the selections you pushed on the voting machine, review your
summary page before your "cast" your ballot. Once you push the "cast
your ballot" button, it cannot be corrected. The elections are too close
and with the calibration errors we must recheck our choices. If there
is an error ask for help and double check your choices again. Every vote
matters, especially yours.
