“We forget that man stands alone before the ultimate authority and that anyone who lays violent hands on man here is infringing eternal laws and taking upon himself superhuman authority which will eventually crush him.”
Bonhoeffer p. 138
We will all stand before the Lord and be accountable for our decisions. This post is early this week, to give more time to prepare for Tuesday’s elections. We each need to begin in prayer and familiarize ourselves regarding those running for office and the questions on the ballot. Below are several resources being added to the site to make this process easier:
News, School and Election Information

Everyone can find time to enhance their prayer life. It may be turning off the radio while in traffic to seek God’s presence or taking a few minutes to pray for God’s plan for your day in the parking lot before entering a store. We each need to make it a mission to grow closer to God and it starts with prayer.
We have been blessed to be raised in a free nation under God, but as the Israelites found, we need to continue to choose God and His ways to continue being a free nation under God.
God calls us to action through our faith. We need to support righteous leaders and go out and vote. Be encouraged to take a few minutes before Tuesday to find out what will be on your ballot. Determine who supports conservative Christian views and support those candidates. Take time to pray for them and ask God to give them wisdom of His desires, as they take office.
We will all stand accountable before the Lord, but as we align with His plans, we will find freedom:
“Alone before God, man becomes what he is, free and committed in responsibility at the same time.”
Bonhoeffer p. 142
We need to remember it is our responsibility to stand for God’s righteousness. Turning a “blind eye” to sin is sin! Be encouraged to challenge your beliefs on modern day topics and test their alignment to God’s Word.
With the election coming on Tuesday, we all need to be in prayer for our local communities, states and nation. Jesus did not tell the disciples to hide out until he returned. He told them they would face tribulation and needed to stand for Him!
“they (Christ’s Church) must take up their God-given authority and behave like the church that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, was God’s answer to the problems of the world.”
Bonhoeffer p. 241
We need to remember our stance is for Jesus Christ and the salvation of the Gospel. It is not an allegiance to a political leader or party. Standing with Christ means reformation. Reformation of laws, reformation of actions and reformation of our daily lives.
Like the church, we need to gain strength to stand against Socialism, Facism and any other “ism” that pulls us away from the Word of God and places a ruling party over us instead of God Almighty Himself.
We need God for deliverance in the election this coming week. He has the strength. He has the power. And, He wants us to take action in bringing this nation back to the covenant made with Him!
“For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues. Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you. But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover them with favor as with a shield.”
Psalm 5:9-12
Pray for unrighteous leaders to be removed from office and righteous leaders put in their place.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
Proverbs 29:2
This is our time to action and vote to put the righteous in authority in this nation.
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16
Have strength to be God’s light in this nation!
“The Diary of Anne Frank” reflects the innocence we need to protect.
“But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.””
Matthew 19:14
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.”
Psalm 127:3 NKJV
God knit us each together in our mother’s womb. He created us male and female. Children need to be protected from anything that brings confusion regarding who God made each of us to be. We need to ensure our society has laws and takes actions that protect our children, especially when they are taught outside the home. Seek leadership that protects our children!
God bless and keep you this week, as you take action to support righteous leadership in our nation. May we again be One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All!
Amen.
