Taking Back America...not another political campaign.

  This is the day we have all been waiting for.  I personally couldn't wait for it to get here.  Not because politics are interesting to me but because I am so tired of the incessant calls, posts and mail.  Telling me who I should vote for, why I should vote for them.  Why I would be stupid to do anything but what they were telling me.
  While I think that we as Christians need to do all we can to fight for the morals of this country, I am not 100% convinced that voting is the only or best way to do this.  I am not saying don't vote. (All of you extra political peeps out there settle down and hear me out) I am just challenging you.  Why stop there?
   Why do we not stand for moral issues on a daily basis?  Do you refuse to watch a Tv show that promotes moral wrong?  Or, do you watch it and say nothing?  When asked what you think do you state what you believe no matter who you are speaking to?  Or do you sugar coat it a little so that it wont hurt their feelings?
  Why is it, that we are surprised that we, as a nation, are in the situation what we are?
  Do we really care about where our country is headed?
  Do we truly believe that the only way that this country will see change is through this election?
  Or is it possible that true change will come to this country when Christians stand up and start acting like Christ.  We stop fighting the world.  We speak biblical truth in Love.  We let the holy spirit work in us.  We let the Holy Spirit world through us. We allow ourselves to be his vessel.  We sacrifice out rights as humans and start thinking more about our spiritual responsibilities.
  We start loving like we should.  Talking like we should.  Walking like we should.  We start walking the walk. You know what I mean, the one that we have talked about for years.  The one that we use to judge others wrongdoings by.  The one that we get from scripture.
  We say that we want a president that is Godly and moral but what percentage of us is Godly and moral? Do we require that of our family?  Our friends?  Our pastor?  Our community? Ourselves?
   Are we going out into our communities? Are we trying to seek out those that are hurting?  To help them find peace and healing in their lives?  If we don't who will?
  If you were the only Jesus someone would ever see, would you say that you gave them a good or bad picture of who Jesus is?  If you are the only one that will ever love that person, will they ever feel loved?
  Yes America needs an overhaul, I totally agree.  I do NOT think that it is going to start in the white house.  It is going to start in the hearts and minds of God's people. You and I.  We have to want change enough to BE it!
  This world IS NOT our home people!!! We have an amazing Savior, who is in heaven, preparing us a mansion.   Who gave all!  He was the atoning sacrifice.  This world is so not what we are fighting for!  We will never be happy here.  Never have the perfect country.  Never have a president that is totally honest.  Never have a life free of pain or trials.  We are not fighting against flesh and blood but against rulers of the darkness of this world. Ephesians 6:12 
  I encourage and challenge you to really look at your life.  Who are you?  Who do you want to be?  Are you walking how you want to or how God is leading you?  Are you living a life of sacrifice or of selfishness?
