Who should be elected…

Posted on by

The Bible says in Exodus 18:21,

“Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers…”

The Scripture gives us the standard as to what government rulers are to be like.  They are to “fear God” and be “men of truth.”  They must respect God as Creator and be committed to the truth of the Scripture, as well as being truthful in their own heart.  While they are to be “able men,” that is be competent in their government task, much more important is their character.  Do they live a Godly life because they know they will stand before God and give an account to Him for their actions in office as well as in all other areas of life?  This will cause them to spend as little of the people’s tax money as possible and to gladly expose the records of those expenditures.

Likewise, the people who vote must accept their responsibility before God to choose men who will meet these Biblical standards.  Our Founders in America taught that we will always get the kind of people in office who reflect our character as a whole people.  It is as William Penn said,

“Government, like clocks, go from the motion men give them…Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad…But if men be bad, let the government be ever so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn.”

(Pennsylvania, Frame of Government of. April 25, 1682, in the preface of his Frame of Government of Pennsylvania. A Collection of Charters and Other Public Acts Relating to the Province of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia: B. Franklin, 1740), pp. 10-12. Gary DeMar, God and Government – A Biblical and Historical Study (Atlanta, GA: American Vision Press, 1982), p. 115.)

If government is corrupt it is because we accept corruption.  If government be moving us toward dictatorship, it is because we accept that willingly or ignorantly.

The truth is, in recent elections, 75% of Americans who say they are born again Christians haven’t even gone to the polls to vote!  That’s 75 million people! Is it any wonder we’re about to loose the precious liberty God has entrusted to us?

Will you change that by going to the polls and voting for candidates who stand nearest to the Bible on issues?  Pastor, will you urge your people to do this?

Remember, we all stand before God and give an account for if we voted, and how we voted!

Don’t “Miss The Forest For The Trees!”

When accusations are flying, don’t “miss the forest for the trees!”

Remember, satan is the “accuser of the brethren.”  His aim is always to distract us from the real focus of the Lord for us in a given time.  In the elections a lot of this is happening.  In the Kentucky state elections, remember: Governor Steve Beshear’s main goal throughout his administration has been to bring casino gambling to this state.   Thus, every elected state office is very important to him; he must create majorities in both Chambers of the Legislature in order to get his gambling bill passed.  The Senate has been the stronghold against his agenda.  Thus, he appoints Senate President, David Williams, long time foe and casino gambling opponent, to a judgeship to remove his opposition to casinos.  The Governor only needs a few more votes in the Senate to gain his objective.  Albert Robinson, former Senator and candidate for District 21 Senate seat (Laurel, Jackson, Estill, Powell, and Menifee counties), is a long-time opponent of casino gambling.  Thus, the most vehement, well-funded campaign is being waged against him.  Mistakes he made many years ago are being resurrected to distract the voter from realizing the real aim here—which is to gain casino gambling in Kentucky.   The fact is, former Senator Robinson actually has one of the best voting records concerning family moral issues of any Legislator in the last 40 years in Kentucky.  The man who may be the foremost spokesman for the family in our state told me personally that Albert Robinson was one of the very best Legislators in Frankfort, to help him with legislation to protect the family.  So don’t look at one or two failures and overlook the numerous successes for the family in this candidate.

“Don’t miss the forest for the trees!”  Let the Holy Spirit give you His overview so you don’t believe the “smokescreen” designed to keep you from seeing the real objective in these accusations; which, I believe,  is to bring casinos to Kentucky.
