Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

The Presidential election in America is just 6 days away. Believers, even Christian leaders who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, are dividing into both camps – Republican and Democrat. This can become confusing. I have not posted much about politics because so much has already been said. If you read my last blog post you know how I am voting and why. But I feel like one more thing needs to be said.  I challenge you to read ALL the way to the end before you get mad and shut me off. 

Republicans are strong believers in

·         the sanctity of life,

·         protecting our borders,

·         law and order,

·         traditional marriage and family,

·         religious liberty,

·         our Founding Fathers stance on God in government,

·         educational choice,

·         a strong military, patriotism, and support of veterans.

Democrats vote in strong support of

·         choice – abortion, sexual and gender preferences, non-traditional families,

·         women’s rights,

·         environmentalism,

·         ending global warming,

·         open borders,

·         no place for God in government, education or public life,

·         government (taxpayer) funding of choices – abortion (planned parenthood), sexual preferences, gender transitioning, but no funding for private or religious choices that go against the Democratic platform (Advice and Aid, for example),

·         government (taxpayer) mandated medical,

·         government mandated schooling,

·         “free” stuff.

I’ve heard it said by those who take the Democratic position that “there is more at stake than the abortion issue.” But here’s the astonishing truth – It is no good to save the environment, halt global warming, end perceived racism, open the borders, and provide government funding for various causes IF we do not allow children to LIVE and GROW UP to appreciate the very things you vote to support.

The right to LIFE comes before the rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness in our founding documents for a reason. If you are not ALIVE you cannot enjoy liberty or happiness. You cannot stand for “Choice” or “Rights” while depriving millions of making ANY choices or enjoying ANY rights at all!

Dear Friends, whatever your belief about other issues, I urge you… I beg you…VOTE in favor of LIFE!

Blessings,

Ruth

Many were deceived into believing lies perpetuated about abortion and knowing when life actually begins. Now that technology enables us to see a baby within the womb, many are grieving over past choices made in ignorance. Dear Ones, please know that God loves you no matter what choices you made in the past. There is forgiveness (1 John 1:9) and He longs to free you of the burden of guilt you carry. Reach out to Him in faith and receive His forgiveness. Then walk in freedom and newness of life, obedient to the Scriptures and in step with the Father.
