Why Christians need to vote? In this blog I will share verses that tell us how we are to be while we are on earth. God says occupy till my return.
I want to be up front on this matter because I believe that this election is probably the most important election ever. If you haven’t been seeing what is going on, then you must be living under a rock. Society is been unraveled in four directions and most people don’t even see what is really happening to them. let me share with you the four with actually breaks off of the two main aspects of society.
Well on this above chart you will see how the world and Christianity is divided within itself, the irony is that both of the second columns agree, and that is scary for this should not be. However, the most important phenomenon is the division between what is biblical and what is not, there shouldn’t be any misunderstanding on clear scriptural reading. I am going to share some video clips that will show you a real man of God and one who is relying on what they think or feel. When you start relying on your own understanding you will get it wrong every time, God is clear on this. You are no longer your own you now belong to Jesus; you have been brought and paid for. (LOL) I will vote on my faith and not my feeling period. I will start with a parable that was spoken of in the gospel Luke.
Luke 19:11-27 ESV
As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’ But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’ And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant![c] Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.’ And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief; for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’ He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’ And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”
In this parable God is saying we are to help the people of the world to see things as we do so their hearts would be turned to Him, our lord and saver Jesus Christ. I will leave it here because I think if we search our hearts, we will see that it is not biblical to just stand down while we are here. I believe God told us to save and to stand against the sins of this world if not then we are then complicit in it. I say this to dose that go and evangelizes to people how can you truly do so when you cannot give the individual you are evangelizing to a party that you will vote for, especially today. When you stand on neutral grounds your approach starts out confused and show lack of truth on your part. We must be grounded in these three core things and everything else should be secondary.
1. Life
2. Sanctity of Marriage
3. Created Order
These three things to me are key elements to the true values of who we are. I will attach a video that will express my sentiments exactly. I did a blog I named Pr0-life or Pro-death and in that blog, I shared on how evil it is, not to care about babies being aborted, to do that in itself is sin. When you have a party that is so pro-death what they call pro-choice which in itself is an oxymoronic position. To believe that you now can be a God over someone’s life wow, now to me that’s deplorable, no man or woman has that right. We did not ask to be here, nor did we have a choice on the matter, but we believe that we can choose who live or dies. (Wow!) The problem is that we have removed God from the stage and expect to still be a godly country, man how far we have fallen.
There is no longer any fear of the true living God and without the understanding of this we become foolish. The churches are no longer preaching the true council of God. The schools, government system, our courts and everything that made America what it is, is being taken away just like they did with God’s word the bible. The bible speaks on how wisdom is gained, and true wisdom is gain when we understand our position in creation. To understand this, you must read Gods word daily because it is God who give wisdom and the knowledge to understand a matter. Proverbs is loaded with how true wisdom is gained. I know I went down a long rabbit hole, but I will finish this trough process and move back to the topic at hand.
I went down that rabbit hole to make a point on how we have fallen as Christians. If a pastor like John Piper and there are many more that are taking the same position can compare Trumps potty mouth to abortion, to me that is irrational. I will not be as polite as brother Justin Peters to these individuals in my eyes they are lost and we really need to pray for them because they are relying on their feeling and not the words of God.
God tells us that he gives life and decides when to take life, it is not for man to choose who lives or dies.
Colossians 1:16 ESV
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Genesis 2:7 ESV
Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
Isaiah 49:1 ESV
Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So, choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
Jeremiah 21:8
“You shall also say to this people, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
John 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
Now, I am aware that these verses speak in different aspects of life nevertheless He is still that barer or giver. This is a short rant as to why we as Christians should always vote the way of the Lord and not of man.
I want to clear something up because it was made clear to me that some people may read my posts and misunderstand what I mean when I use the word man. the word or noun man, is use on my blogs often and I what to be show all understand what I mean when I use it. In scripture man represents mankind, and at time when you read some of my post I may be talking about both man and woman. It so means you want to do the things of the world, what man want, your desires working within the flesh.
Well as always, I hope this was a blessing to you as it was for me to write it.
Blessed is the man and woman that reads this and is moved by it, may God be moved in you and may He draw you to His will and ways. Amen!
