Preparing to Vote

Tomorrow is Election Day across America. I encourage each of you to take the opportunity to celebrate our freedom as Americans through the action of casting your vote on Tuesday. I understand the concern that many people across our nation are feeling today. But I also know that there are some other offices other than President that are on the ballot. There are many sincere and qualified individuals who are running for these offices and they truly believe that they can make a difference in in America. I also remember all of those Veterans who have served our nation throughout the time of our nation's existence. I believe that we would dishonor them if we chose to willfully ignore our privilege to cast our vote. 

I read these words of Adrian Rogers a few days ago and I thought that it would be an appropriate reading as well as an appropriate reminder on this Pre-Election Day in America. 

Right now our nation is sick unto death because she has forgotten God. But listen to this and let it burn itself into your soul. In 1821 John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, said,

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity. From the day of the Declaration, the American people were bound by the laws of God.”

The principles of civil government and Christianity were linked together in an unbreakable bond. Nearly all citizens acknowledged Christian, biblical principles as the rules of their conduct.

In 1913 President Woodrow Wilson said,

“America was born to exemplify the devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from Holy Scriptures.”

In March, 1931, Congress adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as our national anthem. Do you know what the fourth stanza says? “Blessed with victory and peace, may this Heaven-rescued land praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must when our cause it is just. And this be our motto, ‘In God is our trust.’”

God blessed America was she was rooted in spiritual principles and truths. Praise God for our Christian and Judaic heritage being written into our very fabric. And pray for your nation according to 2 Corinthians 7:14.

Let us continue to pray for God to bless, guide and direct the Leaders of our nation!! Our trust is in the Lord god Almighty!!
