Politics
Let me preface my post by saying that I will not officially endorse any candidate in his or her race for the white house office. I believe like many Christians do and/or should that we should vote for the issues and not the candidate. Now on to the beefy part of this post. Many of you know that in the past couple weeks Pat Robertson has come out and officially endorsed former mayor Rudy Guiliani for President. Now every man and woman has their God given right to vote for whomever they so choose but this presidential election coming up in now less than a year will probably one of the most important elections in the past century. My former mentor has posted on his site and you can go there by clicking on "Keith's Corner" to the right or you can go straight to what we read by clicking randyalcorn.blogspot.com. I want to encourage you who may read my blog to fully be aware of what you are voting on because for example if you intend on voting for Rudy Guiliani be aware that he has publicly said that he is in favor of legalized abortion. WHAT? Sorry I think that just passed over most Christian republicans... in FAVOR of legalized abortions. Meaning that he would like to see a nationwide law proclaiming abortion as legal and an "ok" thing to do. This, as you may have your own personal opinions on it, is not ok and is Biblically wrong. yeah, I said it, BIBLICALLY WRONG. If we are to proclaim that we are christians then we must accept the fact that that term, Christian, means that we are Christ-followers. If you say that then stand up for what the Bible says. God's Word is a double-edged sword and we have to start using it. Rudy Guiliani is not the only candidate in the presidential race who is pro-choice so this post isn't just about him but this recent event might have just served as the catalyst of Christian reactions to the upcoming election. So this is a call for those of you who read my blog to stand up and be counted because the time is drawing near when the line between political parties and (let's just say it) EVIL will become blurred. Vote for the issues not the person.
