Leadership is important. Immoral leadership reaps bad things. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.”

There can be little rejoicing when the people have chosen men and women to represent them in Congress and in statehouses to lead this nation, and they stand for killing the preborn even as they are being born.

As Psalm 94:20-21 says, “Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.”

This is a stain on this nation of innocent blood. We must condemn it in the strongest possible terms.

From Virginia to New York to many other states, Democratic Party lawmakers are writing and introducing bills to redefine “personhood,” to allow the murder of babies in the birth canal at full term, to promote infanticide – all in the name of protecting women’s health. Democrats in the US House and Senate are supporting these efforts by blocking Republican bills to protect the preborn.

It is all part of a nationwide campaign by the evil and radical NARAL, a pro-abortion organization that pumps millions into the campaigns of state and national Democrats in exchange for their support of abortion. This campaign is ostensibly in anticipation of a Supreme Court that may overturn Roe vs Wade, but we all know this is their ongoing promotion of a death culture.

There are so many wrongs with this. It is against the human race. It is against minorities and people of color. It is against GOD. Yet people, time after time, seek to elect those who are pro-death and support infanticide.

Leadership is important. It changes the way nations are viewed and brings peril to the righteous. Whether the righteous want to acknowledge it or not, whom we elect and the leaders we choose have a bearing on eternity. Even more so for nations like the United States who have the freedom to choose whom their citizens elect. We may not understand exactly the ramifications of our collective voting, but there is a connection.

Christ says in Matthew 25:31-34, “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

We know the truth. We need to stand firm on it. For as Christ said in Luke 12:48, “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.”

You see, leadership is important. Immoral leadership brings peril. Righteous leadership is a joy to others.

Be a leader for Christ. Influence others. Choose life.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Even CBS’s and CNN’s polling (always skewed sampling toward liberals) had to tip their hat to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. The CBS instant poll showed a 72% approval rating on his immigration plan while the CNN poll indicated 76% approval overall.

Trump struck a tone of unification from the very beginning of his speech:

“Many of us campaigned on the same core promises: to defend American jobs and demand fair trade for American workers; to rebuild and revitalize our Nation’s infrastructure; to reduce the price of healthcare and prescription drugs; to create an immigration system that is safe, lawful, modern and secure; and to pursue a foreign policy that puts America’s interests first.”

Trump called for the parties to work together:

“But we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution — and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good. Together, we can break decades of political stalemate. We can bridge old divisions, heal old wounds, build new coalitions, forge new solutions, and unlock the extraordinary promise of America’s future. The decision is ours to make. We must choose between greatness or gridlock, results or resistance, vision or vengeance, incredible progress or pointless destruction. Tonight, I ask you to choose greatness.”

He characterized immigration policy as a moral issue:

“We have a moral duty to create an immigration system that protects the lives and jobs of our citizens. This includes our obligation to the millions of immigrants living here today, who followed the rules and respected our laws. Legal immigrants enrich our Nation and strengthen our society in countless ways. I want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally. Tonight, I am asking you to defend our very dangerous southern border out of love and devotion to our fellow citizens and to our country. No issue better illustrates the divide between America’s working class and America’s political class than illegal immigration. Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards.”

Senator Bernie Sanders bristled when Trump promised, “Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence — not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”

Therein, his entire speech was one of accomplishment and a call to unity. One that set America straight on what he has done, and on the incredible challenge he faces—a lack of unity. Sadly, this obstruction and hate environment will likely continue.

As Christ said in Mark 3:25, “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

At least Trump made an effort at unification and trying to work together; if it doesn’t happen, it’s on the obstructionists.

Have a blessed and powerful day,
