It is the job of the government to secure these rights not to provide them. Each individual has the right to these AND the RESPONSIBILITY to pursue them. It is important to understand that gifts and grace given by the Lord are free and are obtained by faith NOT the government. We need to reach out individually and take them by faith. It is easy to assume that someone else (government) should be responsible for our choices and actions. However, this is not what was intended by our creator. He created each of us as an UNREPEATABLE MIRACLE and provided us with unique talents and abilities to fit rightly into His Body. He never intended that the government, the "church", the pastor, the rabbi, the cult leader, etc., make our decisions and choices for us. When we give away these rights we lose our freedom. Finally, I strongly feel that we as "Christians" have a responsibility to be LIGHT AND SALT - that we might expose the darkness and preserve the Biblical values upon which our nation was founded. IF NOT US WHO? IF NOT NOW WHEN? Vote and campaign for those candidates whose values that will encourage our nation to continue as ONE NATION UNDER GOD. The real problem that needs to addressed and the real change that needs to take place is in the heart of man. If we continue on the "easy" path we may soon WEEP WHAT WE SOW!<BR/>Nuf SedPBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259504844255013673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290052624943303871.post-78782836357066155292008-03-16T20:08:00.000-07:002008-03-16T20:08:00.000-07:00And that's the very reason why we must do our part...And that's the very reason why we must do our part to vote for leaders who will rule most closely according to Biblical principles.

In my opinion: I have been given the "right" to vote for either "socialism" or "muslim", neither what I believe in. It seems no matter which way it ends up it...we will no longer be free. (We have lost many of our rights and liberties already and I think this will be the ultimate change in America).Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484271740468810222noreply@blogger.com
