Christian complacency=death of a Nation.

Are you an Evangelical Christian who has grown complacent given our choices for President?

I have heard this from several, and the reasons are wide ranged. Recently Kirk Cameron, Christian actor and host of the television show, WAY OF THE MASTER stated the following about the upcoming elections (AP):
"The hope for our country is not going to be who governs us as a nation; it's really not in the laws that govern us so much as it is in the power of God working in the hearts of people," Cameron explains in an interview with The Associated Press.
(my response: we need to fight for the best chance FOR God to work in the hearts of people. Many of the stances of Obama on moral issues will only serve to lead those that need Gods help astray and down a dangerous and heart wrenching path- such as further acceptance of the gay lifestyle as a legitimate choice in god's eyes, as well as the issue of the legitimacy of human life at ALL stages.)

...Cameron says he wishes he felt better about this year's presidential candidates. "I enjoyed watching Rick Warren's forum with Obama and McCain. You know, it's just one of those deals where you want the godliest man possible in there -- and frankly, I wish I felt better about both of the candidates this year," he adds.

OH boy, Kirk I agree with you..well...mostly. And I think you echo the sentiments of many. I understand where they are, but we as a people of faith MUST muster the strength to get in the fight NOW, and not in one or two months when our momentum is lost or at best, weakened.

Let's face it. There was a reason I was not for McCain in the first place. I chose Mike Huckabee because he has never wavered on the moral issues that I feel strongly about, as does God. However it was the Evangelical Christians' complacency in the early days before the Primary that have left us with the "less of the two evils" decision to make (or sadly, not to make but not showing up for the count on election day).
BUT... is it worth getting involved for "the lesser of the two evils"? Can we be genuinely excited about a moderate Republican? My answer is this:

YES! Look... we have been given TWO choices:

Choice #1- is a Highly experienced Moderate republican who is solidly Pro life, solidly for parental rights to choose their child's education (meaning a Christian education for millions who want it, versus the new pagan form of public education sweeping the Nation's schoolrooms). He is solidly for support of Israel,as well as for Traditional Marriage. He has also shown UNQUESTIONABLE commitment to our country in his service to us already. UNQUESTIONABLE commitment to our country, I repeat! And THAT, folks excited me! This man is a survivor and understands form his experience in Congress how important PR skills are.

Choice #2- is a FAR left Liberal (as opposed to moderate). He is Likely the Farthest left liberal we have seen as Presidential possibility in the History of this Nation (which I believe is blinded to many by a counter prejudice based on color. Many simply do not see this for superficial reasons that are only skin deep.) Has no experience and doesn't show up to the important votes within the few years he has been in the Senate. Obama voted three times for live aborted babies to be left to die. he is SOLIDLY pro choice, SOLIDLY for gay rights, solidly for negotiating with our enemies and putting our country in jeopardy with his lack of experience. He hides his previous acknowledgement of Black Liberation Theology (Rev. Jeremiah Wright) which seeks to make the Black agenda MORE important than God's Agenda. His faith and honesty are in question for clear reasons.

There IS a clear choice for the Evangelical Believer who understands his commitment to God's laws!

And now, for an odd comparison form the writer:
Not understanding this, is rather like wanting toast for breakfast, but throwing a fit because the restaurant only serves toast without crust. Instead of taking the crustless toast, you settle for a bowl of spinach for breakfast. Yep. A Christian who claims that they prioritize by God's laws first, yet feels disconnected to McCain enough to stay home on election day, (OR worse, vote for Obama in the election) has failed his/her country, and God. It makes about as much sense as ordering spinach because the toast is without crust. This is what we saw in the primary and this is what we are seeing now.

We must shake off the complacency and get in the fight NOW before we lose it to the mania created by a false prospect of "Change". If we do not succeed, change we will likely indeed get, but not what we envisioned. We will further enable the murderous a devaluing of all life. We might endanger our children's future to possibly become so disengaged from God's laws in this country that we lose His Providential coverage as the Nation of which we began under our Christian Forefathers and God Centered Documents.

Folks, I am NOT involved in this election as a volunteer for McCain because I thought he was the best choice before the Primary, but I AM saying thattoday, this November he is indeed the best choice among the two candidates! I am NOT involved because I have time. In fact, tonight I give up family time that is rare with my husband's job in order to make phone calls to prospective voters, something I DREAD, but will do happily to help. I am NOT involved because I Love politics, but only because this is our country's system, and I LOVE MY COUNTRY. More than that, I LOVE my God and Savior Jesus Christ and will do what I can to uphold Hs moral laws which have secured favor for us for centuries now. Morality never fails us. Lack of which fails many. We MUST fight against those who push for "anything goes." It is why we are what we are. It is why you and I live in a house with food, children, and a job we can choose... GOD gave us this, and if He indeed exists, NOTHING should stand in our way in upholding what his words say. This combined with the freedom to choose Him ( or not!) IS what makes The united States of America great!

"The great pillars of all government and of social life...[are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend. " -Patrick Henry (Jan 8, 1799, in a letter to Archibald Blair, cited in "Patrick Henry" by Moses Coit Tyler, 1897)


"Render unto Caesar things due Caesar," was spoken by our Lord during a period when citizens had no right to direct the affairs of government, let alone choose their leaders. Yet Christ gave this commandment in reference to paying taxes. How much more would Christ demand this in a world where Christians have the opportunity to assure God's basic moral laws are codified into law! - CMH
