7 Questions to Answer Before You Vote
By Capazin Thornton
You can’t judge what’s going on in the world by what you see or what you hear. You have to discern the times and the seasons. You have to discern between truth and lies. And, you have to understand the big picture.
We are living in the perilous times— hard, dangerous, difficult, exceedingly fierce (violent) times—foretold by the Scriptures.
Threats to public safety posed by mentally unstable, demonically inspired people are real. Yet, of greater concern are the assaults on individual freedom coming from our own government.
To me, the bottom line in this election year is this: Do you want to retain your individual freedom and rights guaranteed by the Constitution? Or, do you want to give a socialistic, totalitarian leaning government even more power to control your life, your health, and your wealth?
History has proven: “Whenever power is concentrated in the government, the individual suffers.”
Since the beginning of time, the spiritual enemy of mankind has desired control of mankind.
Today, he works through super rich ideological demagogues who use their money to control the media, influence elections, and try to remake society in their image. These are the erudite elite who think they have earned the right to dictate the quality and scope of life for the rest of us on planet earth.
News Flash: “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.”—Ps 24:1
The founding fathers understood this. They realized that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. Every aspect of life in America started with Christians. America’s political philosophy was taken from the Bible. And, 34% of the quotes in the Constitution come from the Bible.
Is it any wonder that the erudite elites want to destroy the Bible and rewrite the Constitution?
Even though this year has been wrought with political drama off the charts, it is time to focus on the big picture—the future of America. It is a great privilege to be able to vote and express our hearts. I encourage you to answer the following questions. And then, by all means, vote.
