Into the Fire

I think I can say with some certainty that by now most people are weary of politics. It has degenerated into a war of words and many people have simply backed out of social media where any political discussion appears. Others simply don't engage and hold their opinions close to the vest as the cliché goes. You can count me among the weary, but unlike many of you – and I don't blame you – I am not silent on Twitter and Facebook. Here, I've chosen not to post political opinions until today.

I'm angry. I'm mad because there are certain issues which shouldn't even warrant a debate, but they've produced staunch advocates on opposite sides. The fact that abortion is used as a campaign promise under the guise of protective healthcare for women is nauseating and despicable, but it is promoted and advocated under that umbrella by those who choose the Democrat candidates. That anyone should be allowed to carve a baby out of a womb seems absurd, but it is championed by members of the Democrat party. That after murdering a child at any stage of development the barbaric butchery of their body parts can be sold like carburetors or transmissions and should disgust even the basest of human beings. Yet the Democrat party defends the funding of Planned Parenthood by taxpayer money.  

That under the present aggressions of the ISIS agenda, anything less than open borders should be called "un-American" ranks right up there with traitorous. Yet, it is a favorite of the Democrat party.

That the continuation of restrictions on the First Amendment regarding the freedom to be a Christian at public schools when Muslims are given special rights to enact their belief systems at public schools adds another hypocrisy to the current public school system of propaganda and indoctrination policies adhered to by the Democrat party.

The excessive taxation of the American people to fund such incredibly unnecessary programs like Planned Parenthood and innumerable other wasteful endeavors only cause the desire for more taxes for more spending while incurring a record $19 Trillion in debt to China. How can this be? This is the perpetual desire of the Democrat party.

Those of us who know Jesus Christ as our Lord, our Savior, aren't immune from the sadness or the worry. We are fallible, sometimes fragile, even faith-less at times. We can know what's right. We can experience confusion when doing our best to enact it in our lives. Sometimes it seems like there's no way to enact right, that every choice seems wrong. But in the simplest of terms, there are a few things which help us see a right way.

It is right to promote life. We have no business and no right to take a life. Life belongs to God. We're not talking fighting wars here or defending oneself. We're talking a child in the womb. Children are precious to the Lord.

It is right to secure our country in light of evil forces ruled by a demonic horde. It's not prejudicial, it's careful and discerning.

It's right to eliminate ridiculous and unscrupulous spending just as it's right to be a just guardian of the monies collected from the people of this nation.

It's right to insist that able-bodied and able-minded people work for a living in order to provide for their own needs, not steal from those who've determined to do their best at whatever jobs they have to earn a living and provide for their own families.

It's right to take care of the least of the society if they are truly unable to take care of themselves.

I am weary of the evil which is why I'm so vocal elsewhere. In light of the intense seriousness of this election, I'm doing this now because it's a critical election for each of us, for our country's very survival. We cannot perpetuate the current evil.

We can pray for God's renewal. We couldn't be more desperate for Him. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
