Are You Grateful? Then VOTE

Linda Harvey

Do you consider yourself blessed to live in America? If so, do you vote in every election?

Are you also a Christian?

If you don’t vote, then you really aren’t that grateful. Perhaps you take for granted our everyday peaceful, prosperous way of life. You don’t believe that the privilege to choose our leaders is an awesome and rare gift from God. Perhaps you think American life is just normal. This is just the way things are and we can just assume it will remain this way.

If this is what you believe, you are wrong. This is not normal. We are living lives of tremendous blessing with historically unmatched privileges that are about to go away. And sorry to say this, but it’s because of you. And it was because of me, with the attitude I had before I became a Christian.

My heart changed. I realized that we are extraordinarily blessed in America to be able to make a difference through participation in our government. Actually, the American government is totally constructed by our action or inaction. And through our votes, we are actually able to protect our families, live productive and meaningful lives, and reduce human suffering.

The point is, you need to step up here and do your part to protect life, liberty and our pursuit of happiness. Or else it will go away and you will wail and mourn and possibly suffer greatly when it’s gone.  America may be taken over by the smooth-talking tyrants who proclaim "joy" while getting ready to shred the Constitution, free speech, religious liberty and morality.

Right now, I am thinking about our upcoming election and the need to soundly defeat the wicked and deceitful Democrats, but this applies to every election. 

Do not believe you are in favor of “choice” if you vote yes for pro-abortion Kamala Harris and other Democrats on the ticket. Or that there's just no clear choice and that you are choosing to sit this one out. Failing to vote is what a passive person does who lacks a working sense of ethics. Don’t worry-- God is totally able to save you from your worst impulses. This is what He does all the time-- change hearts and save people!

It’s time to recognize that it is not "health care" to intentionally put children in harm's way through abortion until birth, or through pro-"LGBTQ" policies. These people are liars and will endanger not just our children, but our country.

God had a lot to say through the prophet Jeremiah (23:14) about those in ancient Jerusalem who forgot God, became idol-worshippers, even descending to the horror of sacrificing children to these idols. God said, “They commit adultery and walk in lies; they also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, and her inhabitants like Gomorrah.”

In other words, the unfaithful were facing destruction, and God was not only going to not hold it back, He was perfectly capable of orchestrating it.

We must not be those who “strengthen the hands of evildoers.”

Do we want destruction to come upon us in America? Without softening our hearts toward the most vulnerable, and rolling back the epidemic of fruitless promiscuity leading so often to harming children, that is where we are heading. And we are doing this to ourselves.

It is time to think, America, and read the writing on the wall. 

Please vote in this and every election.
