Political Blog

You're not going to see me write alot of political blogs because everyone has their own opinion and I think alot of people get too riled up about politics, especially on the internet. Anyway I've chosen my candidate as I'm sure you've chosen yours so I don't want to talk about their platforms, agendas or flaws.

But I do want to talk about voters, Christians and "God's will".

I've heard alot of people say, "I'm praying that the will of God be done in our country." Which in and of itself is great, if that is truely what you are praying for. Personally, I am going to vote for Obama (I've done my research and made up my mind and you probably won't get me to debate the issue so don't bother) but ultimately I am praying that God will enable to right leader for our country to rise above the others. (weather that be Obama or McCain). I will probably be disappointed if Obama doesn't win but I will accept that God has choosen McCain to run this country for now. If you are a Christian and truely want the will of God I think it's wrong to say, "I'm praying that the will of God be done in our country BUT if a certain candidate becomes president then obviously the will of God hasn't been done." Basically, you're saying maybe we didn't pray hard enough because surely God wouldn't want that other candidate to be president. Which translates, "God's will should be what I WANT".

I think God is big enough to handle our country's silly election. Granted it's run by sinful men and there will alway be conflict and strife but the laws weren't made to "Christianize" or "moralize" everyone they were made to maintain some sort of order in a sinful world.

That brings me to another point which we can discuss later but for now think about this... I am morally ProLife but think that abortion should be legal?

Just a few things to think and pray about...
