Viewpoints from the Pulpit: National Elections

A church friend and fellow member of the Emmaus Community shared this video of Dr. David Jeremiah with me.  The video is about forty-five minutes long. I had to look at it in spits and spurts as I was also listening out for my Godson at the same time.  So I have not heard every single word said.  I did hear enough to know that Dr. Jeremiah was doing his level best to be fair in his assessment of both Presidential Candidates. 

He based his assessment from a biblical standard of leadership...not spiritual leadership as from the pulpit. His standards made sense to me overall.  The argument that most caught my attention was the stance of the leader of the United States towards Israel. Basically, anyone who is against Israel is against God.  

I am not about to tell anyone how to vote, that is a personal decision. What I'm offering is a way to become more informed from a biblical perspective before the Presidential Election on 6 November 2012. Short notice, I realize. Still, I hope that the final words of Dr. Jeremiah regarding Political Stewardship help sway anyone who is inclined not to vote at all. 

DeColores,
