I've been watching the GOP nomination process and I've been hearing a lot of opinions about the people who are running. I've heard people saying this and that about the candidates and most people are worried about the economy. In fact, I think that they might be more worried about the economy than the social issues. I think that if we get our already out of whack social issues back in line with the way God has prescribed them to be, that the economic turmoil we're in will follow suit. Our nation is preoccupied with killing babies, homosexuals trying to get married, and how much more stuff we can accumulate and keep others from getting.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I know that God was talking to Solomon in this verse about Israel but I also believe that He was with our founding fathers when we became a nation and that we, as a nation, have wondered so far from Him that it's ridiculous.
There is a huge debate as to whether or not Christians should be involved in politics, I think that if we aren't, we are just throwing gas on the fire that is consuming the U.S. I can't and won't tell anybody who they should vote for but I will say that you should definitely ask for the Lord's guidance and use your faith to shape your opinions.
