You Have the Power :: by Bill Wilson

According to the Washington Post, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is already the winner in the November presidential elections. The Post says that “Clinton is ahead in nearly all of the key battleground states” where her campaign has directed the most resources, according to many recent polls…

Clinton aides  said they see advantages to running up the score in the electoral college, where 270 votes wins the White House. Victories in unexpected places could boost that total, hand her more of a mandate come January and decreasing the potency of Trump’s complaints of a “rigged election.”

So how do you like a newspaper quoting some political hacks declaring a victor without a vote?

Better get used to it if you don’t want to exercise your power to change the election and the nation.

You will be told by the media lapdogs that you are not allowed to think on your own because that’s hate speech.

You will be going underground with any form of Christian evangelism because it is offensive to Islam.

You will be told that you are mentally ill because you might want to own a gun for self-defense.

You will be told that your children can get abortions and smoke marijuana without your consent.

And you will pay the government your hard earned money for the privilege.

Is this the type of America you want because you may be too pious to pull the lever for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump?

Some people are resigned to say that we are going to get the president we deserve. This may be true, when you consider that Christians are a vast and overwhelming majority in this nation at about 80 percent or more and we sit on our hands decrying that we can’t vote for an ungodly candidate.

Think of the logic here: As a Christian, we can’t vote for Trump, so by throwing a vote away either by not voting or voting for someone who can’t win, we are voting for a transforming knight of the dark side, where all the things we say we stand for from a biblical perspective will be held in great contempt by the victor.

This kind of logic is no logic at all. It’s like giving up and taking a knee when all you have to do is cross the goal line.

Think of the greater good. For those of you who do, and I know there are many out there, be strong. Speak boldly as you ought to speak. Educate others on the stakes of this election. If you are rejected, just keep trying.

Don’t lose heart. You have the power to speak truth.

Romans 13:11-12 says, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light”

We need to quit listening to the noise, and focus on the source. If 80 percent of the population, the Christians, were unified and voted together, there would be no question the victor.

Have a blessed and powerful day!

Separating the Noise and Finding Clarity :: by Bill Wilson

As predicted, this election has fast gone to the gutter. There is so much attention on the bad behavior of these candidates that the real issues of the campaign and what faces us as a nation are being drowned out by character issues. Listen, with these two candidates there are going to be character issues.

In my opinion, there is one who has far less character than any average American. One candidate is expert at projecting her deficiencies onto the other and fixing blame for the very things she does. The other candidate has said and done things that should have never been said or done, but he does not have a near criminal record following him. But more important are the issues and how these candidates will govern.

We do not know how Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will govern. We do know that he has promised to appoint pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Constitutional judges to the Supreme Court. We know that he has repeatedly said he would promote freedom of speech and religious freedom.

He has promised to improve the tax code by lowering taxes. He has promised to cut red-tape and unnecessary regulation on businesses. He said he would reset and improve relations with Israel. He said he would not continue the weak foreign policy of the current Administration against Islamic terrorism. He said he would secure the nation’s borders, and try to stop terrorist infiltration through immigration.

We know how Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will govern. We have seen her since the 1970s beginning with her Watergate prosecution scandal. There has been scandal after scandal with Clinton-big stuff, the kind most of us would go to jail for if we did it. She says she would appoint progressive, pro-choice judges to the Supreme Court.

She wants to crack down on religious free speech, especially criticism of Islam. She will raise taxes by $2 trillion. She wants to effectively eliminate the Second Amendment. She will continue the current foreign policy, never effectively ending terror threats or Islamic persecution of Christians. She wants open borders and increased Islamic immigration. Her tough talk against Russia may lead to war. Her plans would increase government spending and the national debt.

This election will decide the direction of America for decades to come in Supreme Court picks alone. Your vote may be the deciding one. Not voting, voting for a third-party candidate that cannot win, or voting based on the noise rather than the issues could have disastrous impact on you, your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren.

Generations depend on your vote. It is your duty and responsibility. While the news media promotes smut and tries to take attention off of the real issues, it is clear how a godly person should vote based on the issues. We are not electing a pastor, we are trying to turn our country from destruction.

“For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Make a decision to vote from the spirit of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

Have a blessed and powerful day!
