My Political Ideas

1. Everyone should take a part in the voting process – We have been called to make disciples of all men in all arenas including politics (Matthew 28)
2. God can use a Democrat or a Republican as long as they are saved and have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead them into all truth – God is no respecter of people. Don’t show partiality to people because of their status, wealth, social standing, popularity, race, gender or influence. (Acts 10:34, James 2:1, 1 Timothy 5:21, Leviticus 19:15)
3. Abortion is not of God since God is the creator of life. It is one issue that should be considered during an election – Jesus told the Pharisees they give tithe of their spices (money at the time) but they neglect the more important matters of the law – justice, mercy, and faithfulness. He said they should do both not one or the other. We should focus on all issues, not one. (emphasis mine) (Matthew 23)
4. Love the sinner and hate the sin. – Share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost and do not condone sin. Remember you have the gift of life to share with them so share it in love.
5. Health and Security should be available to every American -
6. Christian Republicans, Democrats and Independents should be united in the word of God (1 Corinthians 12:12, 2 Corinthians 13:11, Psalm 133:1, Ephesians 4:1-3, Romans 12:8)
7. Apostles, Prophets Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists should have the free will to preach and teach the truth of the word of God with out repercussion; It is not hate to preach against sin. God’s word is the truth and the truth shall make all men free. We need to pray that the Christian’s mouth is not muzzled and speak out against this. Being silent will put us in the same boat as China and others who prosecute Christians. We have the freedom of speech and this should include the freedom to preach the word of God. Wake up Christians, this is why we need to pray and get involved in the voting process. Laws will be passed without our input. (1 Corinthians 2:14-15, Matthew 10:1-5, Exodus 20:1-7, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8)
8. Bible classes should be added as a class for students and Prayer should be put back in schools – (Psalm 33:12, Ephesians 6:18)
9. The Ten Commandments should be our moral compass (Exodus 20:1-7)
10. Christians should not have to apologize for their beliefs
11. Christians should share the word of God with those who don’t know Christ
12. We should take care of the poor and needy (Deuteronomy 15:11)
13. We should be involved in the political process (2 Corinthians 5:20)
14. We should always seek peace first before war. We have the right to defend our country, but seek peace first not war first. (Matthew 26:52)
15. We should pray for wisdom from God and seek wise counsel (James 1:5 and Proverbs 1)
16. We should be good stewards over what God has blessed us with We should build businesses and create jobs (Deuteronomy 8:18)
17. We should love one another as Christ loved the church. That means we should love each other regardless of our race, gender or national origin (John 13:34)
