From Al Mohler's Blog: Lessons from the 2012 Election

The fault is in a gluttonous and idolatrous humanity.

"Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom their is no salvation," says Psalm 146:3 (ESV).

The ballot box is not going to resolve the morality problem of Americans, nor will it bring revival. And if you think a party platform or a political position that comes through lips means anything, guess again. There are just as many sinful positions, according to Biblical standards, in the Republican platform as there is in that of the Democrats. This is a fallen world, and when we place our trust in the political system, it will fail.

The question I have, looking at the way things are, is "Where is the church?" Where are the people of God? If you want to solve the abortion issue, and end abortion on demand, then get off your moral high horse and start winning young women to Christ, discipling them so that they won't get pregnant out of wedlock, and so that they are willing to step forward and care for those who have made mistakes. Stop arguing about eternal security, and convincing yourself that your church is the only right church and start winning people to Jesus. The church is the only body capable of bringing about change, and if it moves forward in the power of God, it can't be stopped.

But it is more comfortable to retreat, and to backbite and criticize other Christians for not doing church the way you do.

I'll stop here.

 

Excellent post. Thank you!:thumbs:

 

Well this shows me that you just can't say anything to hysterical people.

 

There is nothing in the Republican platform that can compare with the democrat celebration of abortion; that is unless you believe it is okay to slaughter unborn children!

 

It would take 60 votes in the Senate to pass major legislation restricting abortion. The most that the Republicans controlled during the Bush years was 55! So you see Lady Eagle the abortion issue could not have been settled by law.

 

Be careful of folks who just make up stuff as they go like this fella.

 

The Roberts position is not clear and will not be until a case reaches the court. Romney could have placed one or more Justices on the Court.

People do change you know. And since when are you into channeling?

It is incorrect to say that the Christian right, whatever that is, is a constituency of the Republican Party. The elections of 2006, 2008, and 2012 have shown that is incorrect!

You realize that Romney was selected through a series of primary elections don't you? If the candidates were selected by the conventions as they were years ago your comment might have merit but it does not!

 

Certainly, he was the only viable candidate among the major ones-Jon Huntsman would have been far superior to Governor Romney but unfortunately he was polling in the single digits.

 

So, you agree that the Republican platform is a more righteous and just political platform, and that the reason it did not win is not its weakness, but in the wickedness of the electorate.

 

Amazing how often that's been forgotten when liberals continue in their continual attack on anything that hints of being anti-liberal agenda.

Forgotten, too, was the systematic weeding out of every conservative presidental candidate, until the most liberal of all the major candidates was left on top of the Republican ticket. Yes, systematic, as the liberal media and the Washington establishment focused on them, one at a time, during the primaries. As each achieved growing conservative support, they went down in flames.

Regardless of statements of protest to the contrary, anyone who went to the polls and voted for Obama as POTUS endorsed abortion, homosexuality, and everything else that's turning this nation away from God.

Lady Eagle summed it up.

Sooner may be more likely. How much longer will God continue to show His patience by staying His hand? Even though what little time I have left on earth grows shorter each day, I may be a first hand witness to His wrath, before He calls me home. May God have mercy on us all.

 

But they could have done the "nuclear option" like they did for obamacare!

 

They did not do a nuclear option for obamacare. You need to review exactly how that legislation was passed.

 

I dwell on it because professing Christians support the continuation of this slaughter by supporting the party of death and its rabid abortionist president!

 

I agree Huntsman would have made a better candidate. He made the same mistake that Rudy Giuliani made in 2008, Giuliani put all his eggs in Florida, Huntsman in New Hampshire!

 

So you believe that some sin isn't as bad as other sin. Well, that is convenient.

 

Blanket statement. Typical when you don't have facts on your side.

 

Crabby,

You're forgetting what your elders taught you about fighting with a drunk and/or madman.
