Well, it's that time again, election season ,when we get to get bombarded with ads on TV radio mailing telephone, at least we have.
Over the years, I found the easiest and quickest way to find out about a candidate and a standard by
which to gauge how to them. It's a tool seems to me that is engrafted to a lot of ears and hands. It's a tool that even companies like mine have gone to. I call it social media tools. I sometimes feel it's been forced on me, but like I said it's a tool that God has provided so I tried to benefit from it.
You know the best thing a man could do is to learn to reason from God's perspective. That prospect begins when a man starts to consider who God is, the Creator of heaven and earth reflect fashion man in his own image (to be like God in character) who gave us eyes to see and ears to hear.
The truth about God is known to us instinctively, he put that knowledge in us, he also instilled in every man his divine laws of valuing justice, honesty, compassion and goodness towards others. This innate, instinctive knowledge of gods divine laws will accuse us of wrong or tell us what we are doing is right. This is called our conscience.
If this is true, how does a man allow this knowledge of God to shape him? Faith that God is and everything is the work of his hands. God is a life-giving spirit. From this alone we should get live a life of gratitude and thanks for what he has provided for and for what he has not provided. Do we have a heart of gratitude in a society full of self selfishness? Gratitude to God and the work of Jesus Christ (Messiah) is the place to begin, where God does the transforming of our heart and mind to see him from his perspective.
The Israelites had ceremonial laws they were to follow that were given to them by God, along with the 10 Commandments. Those ceremony laws were a foreshadow the future blood sacrifice of the Messiah yet to come.
In God's eyes blood represented life. When is released made their sacrifices, it was the blood of bulls goats and lambs innocent bloodshed for the sins of the people. Without the shedding of blood there's is no remission of sin. Thus, Jesus Christ innocent God/man put to death, his innocent blood was poured out for you.
God highly regards the innocent. You don't become any more innocent than a new born baby. Though born into sin, committed no sin, innocent, helpless, and week. We put up protections against bullying and domestic violence, but none for the ones who were burned to death in the world with saline solution. Pick to death and ripped apart in the womb with forceps, skulls crushed.
That's we have a silent scream. God makes it quite clear about the murder of innocence. There will be a time of consequence for some, it may not happen in this life, God may be allowing their center vibrant for the greater judgment. There is no free ride in this life, there is no all skate, we will reap what we sow, and account on how you lived your life here will be settled to see if you will enter the next life in the very presence of God. For we shall all see him.
What does all this have to do with voting for candidates? That's my number one criteria for each candidate, how they deal with the issue of abortion, and remember I have to stand before God and give an account of how I voted. I'm accountable before God in everything I do.
I don't let these candidates razzle dazzle me with BS. I know finance sounds important, money for education sounds important, excuse me? Everybody knows to education smoking is bad for your health, yet people don't know continue. Everyone knows to education that sex outside of marriage creates chaos in relationships, yet it continues. And on and on they go, razzle-dazzle BS.
The true blight on this country is abortion. Just like other nation to engage in its practices. I'm just beginning to see a little, how God sees abortion, cold calculated murder. I don't want to be an accomplice to murder, when some politician supports it, receives money from those who practice it and I put them in office so they can keep it going. The state of Kansas still has a lot to answer for, for the works that Dr. Tiller has done, even though he is dead, the blight still there.
What's stance on abortion is your candidate taking. Don't get me wrong, I still catch all the debates, our local and national ones as best as I can. I make time, I look up their voting record, yes, on those social media products. So I'm up on the issues, I'm up on the issues that are important to God. Yes you can call me the "good citizen" here on earth and in heaven by the grace of God. LOL.
