Prayer For Leaders

I want to encourage you to begin praying about the election in the fall.  I believe that Bible beliving born again Christians have a very unusual situation in front of them in the election.  In my theological oppinion, the two candidates that are set before us neither follow a Biblical form of Christianity.  Both are people who claim Jesus, but inside the religious camps that they come from there are views about Jesus, humanity and God that are not Biblical.

That being said, here is my encouragement.
1.  Don't you dare fail to vote.  Stay in the fray and be involved.
2.  Study hard.  Know who you are voting for and what they say they will be doing.
3.  Compare their policy plans to the standards of the Scriptures.
4.  Pray for our nation, our presidnet and our leaders, even if you disagree with them.

This year, Bible believeing Christians will need to do what they should have been doing for decades and have been lazy to do, study the possibilities, pray and make sure to vote.  If you find yourself complaining about the government and some policy that is on its way, I have a challenge.  Spend an equal amount of time that day praying for our nation.  Be the solution.
