Something We Should All Think About......

When Did It Change?
By: Jennifer Hansen

When did people start caring more about the world than being God fearing followers of Jesus Christ? I read a blog that had a video on it that basically said they wanted to teach their children how to respect and save the earth and that was their reason for voting for Barack Obama. Really that is what you want to teach your kids? I want to teach my kids to love God and know what being a Christian is.

After hearing that, I am just wondering what happened to the people who are God fearing people and want their children to know that too. We need people who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman and people who believe that killing a life by abortion is more wrong than not “going green”. This world will not be here forever. Anyone who has read the Bible knows this world is not our home. This is not the place we should be living for; heaven is the place we ultimately should care about.

This election should not be based on Democrat or Republican, black or white, male or female, rich or poor, but it is. It should be about what is right and wrong. It should be, how would our Lord vote if he were voting? Do you want to legalize abortion and gay/lesbian marriage? The Bible says, “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." (Matt. 19:4, 5) Even if you would not get an abortion, but still think that it is okay to have the right to do so, in my opinion, you are just as guilty by voting that “right” into law. The bible says abortion is wrong. “Thou shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13) It’s one of the Ten Commandments. Why don’t we want to teach our children those values instead? I am not saying that it is wrong to recycle, eat organic food or “go green” by using different light bulbs or using recycled bags for your groceries, but these issues are not what we will be judged for in the end by God.

What happened to people’s morals and values? I know that the people of this country have nominated two potential presidents, but now we need to vote for the lesser of the two evils. Keep your Christianity and morals of right and wrong when voting. Don’t let the new popular trend blur your view on what we need to teach our children. We will be answering to the Lord for decisions we make on this earth, don’t we want to make a smart decision that our God can be proud of?

This message was not approved by Barack Obama or John McCain, but I know that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, would approve this message.
