Last Thoughts Before Voting

1. We are going to be held accountable for EVERY action on the Day of Judgement. Make sure that your vote is something you will stand behind in front of God.

2. Prayerfully consider how Jesus would view each option on the ballot.

3. Don't vote for the person who is most eloquent or most liked. Vote for the one who will allow our country to function the way God intended.

4. Vote the Bible.

5. Don't be short sighted. Make sure you understand the full impact of each candidate's position and where they are trying to take our country.

6. Remember that the Bible tells us to work dilligently as unto the Lord. God does not believe in hand outs. We are to work hard to fulfill our God given assignment and HE will supply all of our needs. No politician can do that.

7. Don't be swayed by the media. They are only telling us what they want us to hear.

8. Your vote matters! If you have to stand in line for a long time, sow it as seed to God. He will make the time up to you.


Last thought . . . For those who think Obama is going to give you a bigger tax cut.

You may see a break in your taxes but businesses are going to incur the cost. As a result, they are going to have to turn around and pass that cost on to you in the price of goods. Or, those business owners (the ones who pay your salary) may decide it costs too much to run a business under Obama's plan and close shop. You may have saved a few dollars on your taxes but you are going to be out a lot more money if you lose your job or the price of food and clothing shoots up.

Please keep the big picture in mind when deciding if the immediate benefit of a few dollars savings in taxes will outweigh the BIG expense of losing a job. There is no such thing and redistributing wealth. If you tax or penalize the rich, they are going to pull back on their investments and that means companies are going to close. We want the rich to keep investing their money in our companies so that we have jobs.
