I’m going to share some things today that will encourage some and infuriate others…but this blog is about what’s on my mind. So I am going to share my thoughts…

This coming Tuesday we will vote to select the next president of the United States of America. I know there are strong feelings on both sides. I wanted to let you know that I will be voting for John McCain. Here is my reason singular: the pro-life stance of the John McCain/Sarah Palin ticket.

There are an average of 4,000 babies aborted every day in the United States. This is government-sanctioned murder. The bible quite clearly states that there will be an accounting for the shedding of innocent blood, which is exactly what abortion is.

Barak Obama is a pro-death candidate, and also voted in favor of partial-birth abortions (where a baby is born all except its head, then killed). This is the major difference between these two candidates.

A big part of this economic crisis is the result of God trying to get our nation’s attention, so that we can repent of this sin and avoid His judgment upon our nation. I feel that if I vote for Obama, it is as if I am executing these abortions myself. As a Christian, I must use God’s word as my standard for everything I do and every choice I make. And God will hold me accountable for my choices.

With all that being said, if I wake up Wednesday morning and Barak Obama is my president-elect, I will pray for him. I will pray that God’s wisdom will guide him. I refuse to be angry and vindictive, and I will not create a culture of dishonor toward him Because just as it is my duty to vote for leaders who rule in the fear of God and according to His commandments, it is also my duty as a Christian to honor and pray for those in authority.

I have voted in every presidential election since Richard Nixon. It is a privilege to vote and participate in this democracy called the United States. I urge you to get out and vote. But please remember this: that as a Christian, you will be held accountable by God for the vote you cast.
