Good day Grandchildren, Grandma and I love you.
As you know and as I posted on Facebook it is election season here in the USA and I want you to think about it.
WOW!
Did I recently say that the political
machines are cranking up? Well my mail
box and email inbox are FULL of political advertisements and pushing and
shoving things! Give now to I. M.
Apolitician, I will work with the opposition to correct these terrible
conditions! Ect. Etc. Etc. Cheryl and I
did think about the candidates, and we did donate to the one that impacts us
the most and does actually seem to understand what the role of an elected official
should be. So, that is that and all
these other assaults on our peace and quiet are wasted efforts. But in fact, someone is spending their
election campaign funds to prepare and send these things around, it is a major
industry for some people. Reminds me of
the people sending around notes that I should be getting my covid booster, etc. Another major industry.
Again
as a Christian man, a husband, father, and grandfather I want to offer my
advice to anyone who wants to hear it, especially my family. And my
advice is to pray. Sounds simple, but we Christians, the body of Christ,
are not as engaged as we should be.
Focused, intense prayer. Talk to
God about this.
So
here is my recommendation from the New King James Version, 1 Timothy 2:1-3 -1. Therefore
I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving
of thanks be made for all men, 2. for kings and
all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and [c]reverence. 3. For this is good
and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
And specifically
I would say do not be afraid. God says “Fear
not”. Paul expressed it as “For God has
not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7. Now, many of
the liberal press and faithless people in general want to silence us,
they describe our Christian teachings as hate speech, because they do not want
to achnowledge sin. Sin in the world and
sin in our lives. So back to basics,
pray for this election, the candidates, all those in authority, and especially our
families and children.
