I'm not trying to Win your Vote

One of the very cool things about our run for President 2008 (and I say this because my wife is just as much a part of this), is that we are here to be a voice for the ignored in this country. I don't want to convince you of anything, but if you believe in Jesus and the Good News, I want to speak for all of us. Not only are the poor ignored, but also, the conservative voice, the truly conservative voice. The voice of those of us wanting to walk the life that Jesus commands us to walk.

It's so evident in the polls regarding our President. When 33% of the people approve of his job performance, I cheer. When the final days come, we'll be lucky if 33% of the people are called by Jesus into eternal salvation. When I get called an, "idiot", we cheer, because we know we're on the right path.

So that's what we're going to do here, speak the Truth, back it up with scripture and let the chips fall where they may. As Christians, we aren't capable of "Saving" or "Winning" anybody..... we can't even save ourselves....only God can do that! We are responsible for sharing the Good News that Jesus is Lord, came down to give us an example to live, died for our sins, got the treatment we deserve so that we would get what He deserves and live the life that He wants from us. It's not a one way street and Jesus demands that we follow his commands, the greatest of which is "love one another", sometimes that means whopping each other on top of the head.

Come back often, comment often and let's grow together in Christ!
