God is not a Republican! God is not a Democrat!
But I know that He's pro Life and I know He's pro traditional marriage!

  If the things that are important to God are not the things that are important to you, maybe you should examine yourself to see if you really are a Christian. I really do not understand how a Christian could praise the Lord on Sunday and then vote for the pro-abortion candidate on Tuesday.
(Psalm 139:13, Matt 18:10, Romans chapter 1, 2 Cor 13:5, Jer 1:5, Luke 1:42-45 )
Were the teachings of Jesus Socialist or Communist? Click here for the answer
  I often hear people say something like, "When I meet God I will tell Him, 'blah, blah, blah.' " I know that when I meet God, face to face on judgment day, my jaw will drop to the floor and I will be speechless. When I stand before the one who was pierced for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities, all excuses will flee from me and I will know that the only way I will enter into His kingdom is through the blood of the Lamb! (Isa 6, Isa 53:5, Rev 12:11)
