Let Your Voice Be Heard

     We are just 10 months away from what could be one of the biggest days in our nation’s history.  On Tuesday November 4, 2008, Americans all across this fine nation will travel to the election booths and cast a ballet on what will decide the very future of our nation.  With this in mind, I want to call your attention to the seriousness of what is at stake. 

     Many would have you think that this election is about a war in Iraq, and though that may be an important part of this election, it is not the most important part.  This election is about much more than a war overseas; it is about a war right here on our own soil.  This election is about the protection of millions of unborn babies that are brutally murdered every year in what is called “a choice”.  The Bible says “Thou shalt not kill”; that is not a choice, it is a commandment from God.  This election is about the protection of the sanctity of marriage as we know it.  The Bible defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman in holy matrimony before a Holy God.  People have the freedom to disregard the word of God and live in sin if they so choose; however, they will answer for that sin one day.  We do not have the right, however, to rewrite the Holy Word of God.  This election is about the freedom to preach “Thus saith the Word of God” without it being classified as hatred.  It seems as though the only ones who are not protected by the freedom of speech are those who want to speak out and let their voice be heard for the Lord.  This election is about protecting our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy from those who seek to destroy such freedoms and, thus, the nation as we know it.

I am not writing today as a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent.  I am writing as a child of God.  When we step into those electoral booths and pull that curtain behind us, we need to forget our loyalty to a Party and remember our loyalty to our Lord.  We do not need to vote Republican or Democrat, we need to vote Christian.  It is time for believers in Jesus Christ to be proactive instead of reactive; we must let our voices be heard.  It is time that Christians stop talking about what is right, and take a stand for what is right.  God has blessed this great nation abundantly, but I wonder how much longer He will tolerate our blatant disregard for His Word.  I wonder how much longer He will let America knowingly place those in office who are known to be adulterers, who are known to support the murder of unborn babies, and who are known to support same-sex marriage.  My fellow Americans, how much longer will we test the patience of God?  He proved with His own people, the nation of Israel, that He would only allow so much.  We have a chance on November 4, 2008 to take a stand for what is right.  Let your voice be heard; take a stand for the family, and for our country.

       “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).  It is time not only to hear His voice but to respond to that voice.  Take a stand; let your voice be heard; make it count; VOTE.  Until next time, may God’s blessings be upon you as you seek and serve Him.
