2 Peter
2:18, “For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly
desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in
error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption;
for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.”
When I went
to ministry school years ago are first assignment was to prove the doctrine of
once saved – always saved. Our second assignment was to prove the doctrine of
salvation can be lost. The point was that the bible can be used to “prove” a
lot of things. But are we open to the truth, or are we enslaved by our own
corruptions?
This will
post 1 day before the 2012 Presidential elections in the US, and this is a year
of the 47%. There is 47% of the US population that will absolutely without equivocation
vote for Barack Obama. What is not said in on the other side of the coin there
is another 47% that will absolutely vote for Mitt Romney. My question is that
in a country that is eighty plus percentage Christian how can the vote be
divided like that?
The reason
is we as a nation our slaves to corruption.
The
Republican Party panders to groups like big pharma and banks while it opposes
other groups like lawyers and unions. The Democrats pander to unions and
lawyers and oppose big pharma and banks. While reality is they are all addicted
to power. Republicans claim to support small government, and yet even Reagan
did not shrink the size of government. Democrats claim to have a monopoly on
supporting civil rights for minorities, and yet spend millions supporting the
killing of millions of black babies through abortion. They are all liars. And
we with our own individual corruptions vote for what will benefit us the most.
We vote for lower taxes, or we vote for more government handouts. All the while
the super-rich support both sides, or better yet the winner so that the profit
of their interest is not regulated out of existence.
Even worse
and more offensive are the people who vote just because they are a cat or a
dog. Cats vote for cats and dogs vote for dogs and the two shall never agree.
Ridiculousness.
Preachers
openly support different candidates. Why? Is it the corruption of a few more
butts in their seats, which means a few more dollars in the offering? Just today I saw an article that said, "Jesus was a liberal." First of all, Jesus never "was." Jesus is. Secondly Jesus is neither Liberal, or Conservative. He is not in support of Republican or Democrat. He IS the Son of God and is far above political party. Christ is the King of Liberty. He came to set us free.
The
government has not given us additional freedom in my lifetime, but they have
promised it. Christ on the other hand has delivered the ultimate in freedom.
Freedom from sin and death. This year I am voting for
Christ. Beyond that, I pray He will show me who to vote from on November 6th. Take a novel approach. Don’t assume who is best for the country from your own perspective. Ask God to show you who is best from His.

This
political ad is paid for by no one and supports no one. I’m Jeff Yuna and I
approve this message.
