"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

Our True Hope: Christ our LORD

As I was driving down the road yesterday, I stopped at a red light behind a woman who had a picture of Obama on the back of her vehicle. What surprised me was what was written on this picture...the word "HOPE". I thought to myself, how sad that she puts her hope in a man. Whoever you are voting for, please don't put your hope in Obama or McCain. Each one of them will let you down at some time because they are human. Instead, put your hope in Jesus Christ, the only sinless human being that walked the earth because he was and is 100% God and will never let you down. We live in a corrupt and evil world because of our sinful natures. I'm not worried about the election because I put my trust in the Lord and He alone is in charge of this entire world. I pray that His will will be done on November 4th. We as a believers need to pray for our leaders to turn to Jesus. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (God speaking), "If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, will forgive their sins, and heal their land." Thank you, Lord, that this world is not my home...as the apostle Paul stated we are strangers on this earth. Those of us who know Christ as our Savior will spend forever and ever in heaven. On the other hand, there are thousands dying each day and going to hell. People need the Lord, and He wants us!

*PLEASE VOTE ACCORDING TO GOD'S STANDARDS
Romans 8:15-17
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. And by him we cry 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
