The relativists in our society, usually among the academic and media
intelligentsia, want to make the public believe that religion should
not be a determining factor in a presidential election. In
reality, everyone is involved in a spiritual growing process. God
already has advance knowledge of what the results of any election will
be. If He allows it to happen, it is because He wants us human
persons to be free and make our own decisions. Christ said to
Pilate before being condemned to death that Pilate would not have any
power if it were not given to him from above.
There are many who claim to be Christians who do not act in accordance
with the truths and values taught by Christ. There are others who
may belong to a church outside of the Christian mainstream and who have
a bean-counter mentality when it comes to running government.
Christians must be wary of voting for candidates who, for what ever
reason, do not accept the full Gospel message, or who adhere to a
watered down version of Christ's teaching. They may indeed
be sincere in their beliefs. They may be on the road to accepting
salvation. But there is only one truth. This necessarily
excludes other belief systems that are of solely human origin.
As to the Christians whose actions go against Christ's teachings either
in how they conduct their personal lives or in their political
positions or decisions harmful to the sanctity of life and of morality,
Christians must beware of the consequences to our country of choosing
weaklings to represent us in government.
