Election Day Thoughts

#1 - Go Vote!  You cannot complain about your government if you don't take the time to vote.  It is a privilege.

Les and I had a great discussion about today's outcome while driving to church on Sunday.  We had already cast our votes, we vote my mail.  Les pointed out that as Bible believing Christians who are waiting for the return of Christ, there will come a time when our country will not embrace Christianity.  In order for Biblical prophecy to be fulfilled, our rights as Christians will weaken.  In order for a one world government to be in place, America will need to be weaker.

If the candidate who wins today takes us in that direction, we can rest assured that God allowed it.  His timeline is known only to Him.  As we see the day approaching, we can only pray "Come, Lord Jesus."

Now that does not mean as a Christian we should change how we vote. We should still pray and vote with a clear conscience.  If the candidate who will take us down the road of moral decline is elected, that will be "because iniquity shall abound." (Matthew 24:12)  The last days aren't going to be about religious freedom, but "perilous times shall come." (2 Timothy 3:1) 

So do your part and vote, but also pray.  If the next four years bring us closer to His coming, isn't that what we're really praying for anyway?
