What’s At Stake This November
October 17, 2008
This is not a political blog, so I typically avoid political content. However, the election in the US this November is going to have grave consequences. Every election they say that “this is the most election of our lifetimes” in order to try to get out the vote, but this time it may actually prove to be a turning point in this nation. One thing I fear is that God is going to finally give the nation over to a leadership that embraces the kind of morality that we have slowly adopted as a nation. In years past we have had a tension where the Presidency and the Congress were often at odds and it tended to result in relatively slow change. We are now staring at the possibility that one ideology will control both the Presidency and the Congress and therefore be able to change the nation in a way that previous administrations were not. The reality is that neither candidate is an ideal choice, but the truth is that one candidate has an agenda that should be enough to cause us to be on our knees and at the polls.
What is at stake the election, beyond the economy (which I’m convinced neither candidate can fix), is the Supreme Court. One candidate will ensure that infanticide (a.ka. abortion) will be cemented in our culture. We must raise our voices. The reality is that many Americans care more about their pocketbooks than the blood the nation spills by the day. The problem is that God’s priorities are not ours. The shed blood cries out from the ground. God may turn a nation over to its own lusts this fall, but let us pray that He may have mercy on us yet.
Every voter should read (and forward) the article below on to others. This post clearly details better than I could just what the key issue is this November.
