Thomas Sowells is a powerful political commentator.  He is a senior fellow at the trumps-words-or-hillarys-deeds1Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and he happens to be of African descent.  He analyzes the two Presidential candidates the best I’ve seen.  The Bible says,

He that is first [that is: first to speak] in his own cause seems just; but his neighbor comes and searches him [or cross-examines him].”

(Proverbs 18:17)

Donald Trump has been made to look like the egotist he’s often been because of his bad statement about women.  He deserves it.  However, when you cross-examine Hillary Clinton, she comes out to be the much worse of the two bad candidates.  I urge you to consider Thomas Sowell’s analysis of the two candidates.  He states:

“Donald Trump’s gutter talk about women shows yet again that he is bad news. The problem is that Hillary Clinton is far worse. [emphasis mine] Trump’s talk is indefensible. But Hillary Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State, carrying out the Obama administration’s foreign policies, have cost many lives in many places, including the American ambassador and others killed in Benghazi. Women have a right to be offended by Trump’s words. But women have suffered a far worse fate from Secretary Clinton’s and President Obama’s actions. Pulling American troops out of Iraq, despite military advice to the contrary, led to the sudden rise of ISIS and their seizing of many women and young girls as sex slaves… Continue reading

Joshua called together the leaders of Israel and challenged them to finish the work of establishing the Jews in the Promised Land.  He admonished them,

choose-whom-you-will-serve1“…choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served…or the gods of the Amorites…but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

(Joshua 24:15)

The nations around them worshipped (through their idols, Psalm 106:37) a god—satan—which produced a dictator for their civil government.  God, our true Creator, had given to the Jews, through Moses, a government where the people chose their rulers through elections.  The first form of government enslaved the people to their king, the dictator; God’s form of government enslaved the government servants to the people, the citizens, giving to the people in government only specifically written powers which they could exercise over them (we call that a “Constitution”).  The nations around them had a dictatorship for their form of government; the Jews had a republic for their form of government.  And the Jews experienced, through their republic, more liberty and justice for their citizens than any nation had ever experienced up unto that time.

This is one of the things that makes voting such an important act.  We will always be choosing more enslavement or Continue reading

Noah Webster, the Father of America’s original education method, wrote to young people in his U.S. History textbook the following admonition:

voting-is-obedience-to-god1“When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers ‘just men who will rule in the fear of God.’ The preservation of [the government of a republic] depends on the faithful discharge of this duty.

“If [the government of a republic] fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.”

(Webster, Noah. 1832. History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), pp. 307-308, paragraph 49. Stephen McDowell and Mark Beliles, “The Providential Perspective” (Charlottesville, VA: The Providence Foundation, P.O. Box 6759, Charlottesville, Va. 22906, January 1994), Vol. 9, No. 1, p. 6.)

Voting is not an option for born-again people.  If we claim to know Jesus Christ as our Lord, we are commanded by God to vote—and God tells us what kind of men we are to vote for!  When God formed the government of the Jewish nation, He commanded His people to Continue reading
