Disclosure: Some may mistake this as a political
post and therefore deem it unfit to be on a Christian blog. Therefore, if you
are not concerned about the core issues of life, I suggest you stop reading
now.
If a
man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall
be upon them.
Lo,
children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalm
127:3
The first presidential election I really remember was that of the year
2000. I was nine years old at the time. And although there had already been two
previous presidential elections that had taken place during my short lifetime,
that was the first one where I was really aware of what was going on. That was
also the year I decided that I would always vote Republican, no matter what.
I remember asking my mother why she always voted Republican, and her
simple answer has stuck with me ever since. She said, “Well, Republicans tend
to be against abortion and gay rights, and Democrats are usually in favor of
those things.” That was all she said. Those were the only two reasons she gave,
and they were good enough for me. And you know what? They are still good enough
for me now, too.
My mother taught me that we ought not to vote for a person based on
anything other than his core moral standards. And if you will look at both of
the two main political parties, you will see that they are divided based on
morality and morality alone. My mother’s response that day set an alarm off in
my little, nine-year-old head that the political party you vote for matters.
When you vote for a particular political party, you are voting for a way of
life.
So I urge you. Do you know the core beliefs of the political party you plan to vote for this November? It’s like Adrian Rogers used to say, “It’s not about Republicans versus Democrats; it’s about right versus wrong.” They cannot both be right. Pick the right one, and stand by it for life. Your country’s wellbeing depends upon your vote.
