February 2020 brings on the start of the Presidential primaries. What is at stake this year and for our future? We have an incumbent President doing his best to lead us further along the path toward the eventual ending of life on this planet. He at times appears to be an agent of Satan. Even when he makes references to God, notice the mocking manner in which he does so. The incumbent President is doing what he was destined to do. That destiny is to take us along the path that will eventually result in the conditions referenced in Matthew 24:21. “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.”
Via television, I witnessed the last hour of the January 14th debate of candidates running for the Democratic Party nomination. Six candidates. I looked at them for who they are. Human beings, all a descendant of the original man and woman created by God. God created us to live in fellowship with him in a world he designed and prepared for us. But our free will to do both evil and good took us off the fellowship path into our current state of chaos mixed with moments of fellowship with our Creator. The six candidates? Romans 3:23. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
Among these Democratic candidates is one who himself is a testimony to mankind following our sinful desires. Romans 1:27. “In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.” This candidate believes he can lead the government of the United States while willfully violating what God intended a man to be. This candidate is a self-professed homosexual and proud to be one. He displays a “pride in ourselves” attitude we have developed as humans. A pride that makes us believe that a person has the right to do and be whatever he or she wants to be, regardless of what God intended us to be. This homosexual candidate is a second level escort leading us to human greatness and spiritual destruction.
I did not see the beginning of the debates. Did any of the candidates in their opening statement make reference to asking God for guidance in responding to the questions? Did any of the candidates mention how their faith in God would play a role in how they would manage the government of the United States and how we as a country interact with our neighbors on this planet? I heard the closing statements of all the candidates. God was not mentioned. It was all “I”, “we”, “me, me, me.”
The candidates all debated how they would approach “solving” or handle the variety of issues we currently encounter as humans. Health care, immigration policies, environmental issues, foreign policy. From their mouths spewed information and opinions as if they really believe we as people can really solve our own problems without having God as part of the answer. Sadly, they all seemed to believe that human answers will “solve” problems. Absent a Godly foundation to a proposed “answer” they all are missing the point that there are no human answers to eliminating the sinful nature of people that has brought on all of our “issues”. Mark 10:43-45. “Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the son of man came not to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for money.”
What can politicians and we as people do? At best politicians and we as people might be able to lessen the threshold of pain that an issue has on a distinct segment or number of people. Maybe it is possible that some issues can be eliminated and solutions found? But to be fully effective those “answers” and “solutions” must be reached through spiritual guidance. Do you really believe that a human answer can meet the needs of everyone?
As the Presidential candidates spewed forth their viewpoints and opinions, I didn’t hear any of them saying that after prayer and consulting with Jesus Christ they had reached their conclusion. Minus that affirmation of faith and bringing the discussion of issues into fellowship with Christ, all the candidates are just a collection of talking bobble heads.
Voters. Now is the time for you to require that the candidates address their faith and how their faith is part of how they make decisions. It does not matter if they are Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Mormon, etc. Have each candidate address the question of faith. Then make your humanistic voting decision on who is the best person to lead the government of the United States of America.
