Well, good for you.
Personally, I had no intentions of voting for Romney. I prayed about it quite a bit and I had no doubt that God was leading me to pass on voting for that queer-loving liberal. Then came Benghazi, and I went against what I KNEW God was telling me, and I voted for Romney anyway.
Immediately, the day after the election, I didn’t feel God there any longer. Of course it was I who created that distance, not Him. I had asked Him for His guidance and then deliberately ignored it.
It’s taken this long to rebuild the relationship I had with Him. I did some sincere repenting and asked for His forgiveness, and He, in His grace, granted it.
But I’ve learned a hard lesson. I will not-—repeat, NOT-—ever again endanger my standing with God by aligning myself in the voting booth with a candidate like Romney. By that I mean a moderate or liberal Republican who does not espouse conservative social principles and values. And I couldn’t care less how much I get flamed, or called a purist, or any of that other garbage.
Understood. I honestly don’t think people realize that there wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between Obama and Romney on the moral issues God cares about. God blesses obedience. God punishes disobedience. So our freefall would’ve been the same or worse under Romney.
Our Founders understood that simple formula. That’s why they conformed our laws to God’s commands. And our nation was richly blessed for the first couple hundred years for that obedience. Neither that obedience nor those blessings were accidents.
But in the past few decades we’ve rejected God’s commands in favor of depravity, and our formerly rich and prosperous nation is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. That punishment isn’t an accident either.
So the moral views of our leaders is a national security issue, with God removing our security. I could’ve no more voted for Romney than I could’ve voted for Obama.
Amen Catherine!
Congratulations on making the right decision for the right reason. We are accountable to God for everything, including our votes. Your conservatism does not end at the edge of your ballot, as it does for some here.
What I don’t get is why so many people register for this grass-roots conservative website and advocate for moderate, and in Romney’s case liberal, candidates.
Amen, Sister FReeper. I love your tagline.
