2011 Elections

Deuteronomy 28 v 1-6

1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

 2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

 3Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

 4Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

 5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

 6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

Deuteronomy 28 v 15-19

 15But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

 16Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

 17Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.

 18Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

 19Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

As the 2012 elections come around, with all of the ill will that has been generated by the democratic party, one might think that I'd be excited about the up and coming prospects. But as I servery the potential candidates: Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and the rest, I don't see a single one who appears to be after God's heart.

Every single one of the candidates is primarily concerned with the economy, and yet this is the one area of our lives that God does not seem to want us to be concerned with. One can hardly open up the Bible without getting God's message: obey My commands and I will provide for you. And yet the one area where we are to submit to God and give Him control is almost the exclusive focus of every single political in either Washington or a governor's office.

The greatest thing that any politician could do for our economy would be to put an end to the horrors of abortion, and end the fight against the family unit. Unfortunately, a man who campaigned primarily on these issues would have no chance of winning the election.
