“and I believe if we turn to God and invoke His promoise, He will help.”
I think that God would not be happy with the political pragmatism that is required for conservatives to vote for McCain.
conservatives aren’t happy about it either, but I think most of us are going to pull the lever for him on the promise that his running mate may add much needed conservative dialog to the office.
Whether you intended to or not, I think you wrongfully equate this election with an opportunity for God to show us his grace or wrath - and I assure you, there is no heavenly grace to be found in the election cycle, nor has there ever been, I suspect.
I agreee that there is not much good in most elections of this day...but there are exceptions. I believe Sarah Palin is one such exception and that the values she espouses and the view she takes are more aligned with what most of us believe God's purpose for this land is, and has been.
In any case, our attitudes, the true feelings of our hearts and motivations can and will invoke God's Hand and His blessings as He has promised.
Those words of His from II Chron 7:14 are not my words...they are His and I believe them I also believe, as it plainly states there, that there is much we MUST do to be in a position to invoke such a blessing and action by God.
That's what this thread is all about.
we are given intelligence, physical strength, we've been blessed financially in this country, even with the stock market down, we are so very much better off than most other countries, we've been given all the pleasures known to mankind, good or bad..we can choose...
God EXPECTS us to use our gifts and to use them for HIS glory...its OUR freewill... HE WANTS US TO CHOOSE RIGHT FROM WRONG.....
THEREFORE, WE MUST FIGHT....WE MUST WIN....WE CAN NOT HIDE BEHIND THE PROMISE OF GOD INTERCEEDING....HE IS WATCHING TO SEE OUR CHARACTER....
WE MUST PRAY FOR HIS GRACE IN STOPPING EVIL....WE HUMANS MUST MAKE A STAND!
SO STAND FREEPERS ..STAND!
