Choose Life

Greeting;
I hope that you are able to get out and enjoy the fall colors .This is my favorite time of the year. Here in Patrick co we are blessed to live where each year the Lord puts on a great show of colors. I look out at the mountain and cannot but wonder how anyone can said there is no God. In Romans chapter one and verse twenty tell us that we have no excuse not to know that there is a God just by looking at everything He has created . But that is why God lets us have freewill we can choose to believe what ever we want to. I am so greatfull that God's Holy Spirit is still calling people to him. And can make the choice to believe or not. Some had rather believe a lie than the truth . They think that if they believe that there is no God then they will not be held acountable to their sins, but it does not work that way ,the bible is very clear about this . That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father Philippians 2:10-11 NLT .I am so thankful that I bowed on this side and did not wait when the Holy Spirit call me. Thank God for His mercy and His grace . Don't wait until it is to late to acknowledge Christ. Also as a nation we have turn our back on God and still think that He will continue to bless our nation, this year I think we are witnessing one of the most important election of our time. I believe that the very soul of our nation hang's in the balance. the issue is not the economy, are the promises that the candidates or making about taking care of us ,and all that they are going to give us . This election is much more than that. This election is about life, the life of the unborn child, as a church we have tried to sweep it under the rug, but the issue will not go away.So many christians this year will go into the voting booth and vote for their pocket book instead of life for the unborn and then we expect God to answer our prayer. I once thought that christians where just not informed on the issue of abortion , but now I think many choose not to be informed so they want have to answer for their lack of support for the unborn children. I don't see how anyone claiming to be a christian could support that horrible procedure to kill an unborn child. But many do , they are able to separate their faith from thier vote. But just like the unbeliever that thinks he will get by God , many christians think the same thing. We serve a Holy God and he will not let the blood of the innocent go with out judgement. The church needs to do more for these mothers that think they may not have a choice, instead of condemning them we should be sharing the love of Christ with them and help them choose life for their child. And those who have had an abortion , let them know that there is healing for them and forgiveness from Christ . We don't have to pray about which candidate to vote for one stands for life , one stands for death. Oh if we are really concerned for our nation then we should do what the word of God tells us to do. Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land . 2 Chronicles 7:14. Child of God if there has ever been a time for us to pray for our nation it is now. Let us agree together and pray in one mind and stand in the gap for the sins for this once great nation for God , That we don't get the leader we deserve but the one we need. Keep looking up He is coming soon. Amen
