JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN: REPUBLICANS FOR A REASON!
Christians should vote for McCain/Palin in November based on several sound and reasonable Republican positions. My two favorite reasons, and the primary motivation for those of us who call ourselves Christian, are the positions that McCain/Palin have taken on the wedge-issues of abortion and homosexual rights. These are far more than political issues, as a true Christian will tell you! Some “believers” have bought-into the humanistic notion that we as mature adults should be allowed to choose our own best-course-of-action, and that religion and morality should have no place in politics and the establishment of laws. Some Christians are closet-believers who support God’s laws privately, but are unwilling to discuss wedge-issues such as abortion and homosexual rights for fear of offending others. Jesus says that if we fail to acknowledge Him before men, that He will disown us before His Father in heaven. The primary reason these Christians are unwilling to openly discuss their faith and beliefs in a public forum, blogsite, or from friend-to-friend, is that they fear men more than God. I, for one, would rather run the risk of offending men, who can do very little to help or harm me and my future, than to jeopardize my eternal welfare by denying my faith and my God. I praise God that John McCain and Sarah Palin are not afraid to boldly affirm their faith in Republican principles and the God they serve. They are willing to stake their hope of election on the stand they have taken on the highly-controversial issues of abortion and homosexual rights. They are not afraid of what men-may-say, but rather are committed to what God says so clearly in the Bible and through His Holy Spirit. May God help all of us to be bold in our declarations of God’s truths in our interactions with each other, and especially in our politics, as this November election draws near. Soli Deo Gloria!
