A very interesting scenario is beginning to unfold within the realm of politics and true Christianity. I truly believe God is “pulling some strings” within the political landscape to allow Christians the opportunity to “choose”…….they will either “choose” to stand firm in their convictions and suffer persecution, or, they will “choose” to compromise and join the rapidly expanding apostasy.
With Mitt Romney dropping out of the race as a GOP candidate, the majority of conservatives will now be pushing everyone to back John McCain to help insure victory. True believers, who will vote their conscience, will more than likely back Mike Huckabee if he stays in the race. This will create a split in the party and pretty much guarantee defeat. If he drops out, true believers will probably not vote at all because of their convictions, this too will guarantee defeat. This is going to give the majority the opportunity to blame the true believers for losing the election. So, here is the dilemma……..do you compromise your faith knowing full well that McCain does not hold to Biblical moral or ethical standards? Do you compromise so you won’t have to worry about the majority persecuting you? Do you compromise because the majority of other so-called “believers” are doing so? Or, do you stand firm in your convictions and take whatever consequences and/or persecutions come from it.
True Biblical Christians know the answer to that well before it comes about because that’s the way it has always been from the very beginning…..true Christianity will never be accepted by the majority……it will always be persecuted for its convictions……..Jesus said it would. Apostates will compromise everything to insure they are not persecuted. Now I know some are saying; “if we don’t come together and keep the White House we’re doomed!” Guess what…….according to the Scriptures we’re already doomed….we were doomed before we were born….the only thing that matters is what your personal status is with Jesus Christ. It’s not your corporate status as a nation….but your personal status that is important. We can’t be so concerned about what other people will do or say to us…..but what Jesus will do and say to us at the judgment seat of Christ. Presidents, Kings, Queens, Princes and countries will all come and go……but the Word of God is the only thing that last’s forever.
Now….. guess what…….you get to “choose”……..very soon now. My suggestion is that you “choose” wisely!
James 1:5-8 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
By the way..............the above verse includes "women"..........a double minded "woman" is unstable in all of her ways.............can you think of anybody.......Hmmmmmm!

Tim,
This was a great piece...should make us wake up to what's really going on around us...and it isn't political!!
I definitely will go for Huckabee if he wins the nomination. Florida has already voted in the primary so as far as between Huckabee or McCain that is already over. I don't feel comfortable at all with McCain, but he is pro-life and his voting record shows that, I know that he is not someone I would want to be buddies with, but, if he is the nominee, and its between him and Hillary or Obama, who are both pro-death, what biblical values should I be worried about with McCain?
I kinda liked Ron Paul with the exception of his views on Iraq. As for the rest of the candidates, I am fed up with all of them. I will not vote for any of them. They are ALL corrupt from top to bottom. There ain't a one of them that represents anything worth a hoot. OK, there might be a connection with age and grumpyness, however, I have been paying attention over the years. I can tell you for sure that our (ever growing larger) government is not our friend. The only thing that keeps by blood pressure in control is knowing that the Sovereign Lord is in control. He has the perfect plan, and He will carry it out. He has given us a preview, and we are not to be surprised. His kingdom will come. Additionally, God has mercifully, and graciously provided us with all the necessary instructions to deal with whatever comes up. Most importantly, He has, will, and is going to rescue His chosen ones. Jesus Christ snatched me from the fire, can I ask any more from Him. Praise Him even if our government is totally messed up.
