America Votes Its Values
Voters went to the polls this past Tuesday in record numbers and turned the ship of state in a new direction: the wrong one. The American electorate voted their values, revealing the extent of the moral decay that envelopes our nation. South Dakotans rejected a ban on abortions; Missourians allowed embryonic stem cell research - killing the next generation to preserve the present one; Arizonans declined to ban gay marriage. And right here in Michigan we re-elected a savvy do-nothing governor who twice during the last four years vetoed bills that would have banned the gruesome procedure that is partial birth abortion, and whose ecomonic policies have driven the Michigan economy into last place in the nation. Look for the unemployment line to get even longer.
The pundits all say that the outcome of Tuesday's election is a referendum on President Bush's Iraq policy. As the Democrats take over Congress in January and implement policies and laws that hamstring the President's ability to prosecute the war on terror and deflate the morale of our courageous military to execute the war on terror, look for the war on terror in your own back yard. They're coming to America - at the open invitation of the American electorate.
Yes, America voted its values on Tuesday. America voted selfishly. We Americans value free sex without regard to its consequences. We Americans value our own health and prosperity without regard to the health and prosperity of future generations. We Americans value freedom without the limits of a God consciousness. We Americans value our right NOT to act reponsibly in protecting the inalienable rights with which our Creator endowed all of humanity - not just selfish Americans.
The Democrat leaders of the new Congress were all photo-oped standing in a line holding hands high in victory Tuesday night with a sign that read: "A New Direction." The next two years will reveal that when immorality reigns, disaster is sure to follow. The new direction is indeed the wrong direction; but the will of the people will prevail - even if it is a will bent on defying the will of God. God's will, however, always prevails in the end.
And it is God's will that prevailed in Tuesday's elections. God raises up governments and kings and takes out governments and kings; and God grants to a people the leaders they deserve. Rigteousness exalts a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. God exercised His own will through the American electorate on Tuesday. But the American electorate is too arrogant to see that what they have done is only what God has allowed them to do. Our God is in the heavens; He does whatsoever pleases Himself. And if it pleases God to bring judgment on this nation by granting to us immoral and unGodly leaders, so be it. And to God alone be the glory.
