I know you guys have been waiting with great anticipation for who I will be voting for on Tuesday Nov. 4th. Drum Roll please.....
I get asked all the time why I do not talk more about politics on Sunday morning. Why I don't publicly endorse candidates. That is a great question. I will answer it simply... I am voting for Jesus. I know corny... but it is true. My job is not to sell people who or who not to vote for. My job is talk about the power of Christ in our lives. I am to teach what Jesus says and encourage people to apply those principles to their lives. Some of you... like me will take that information and use it to decide who to vote for. I have voted in every presidential election since I was 18 years old. I have voted in most primaries. I have been a huge political buff in the past and love to discuss politics with people. The bottom line is that I believe we should vote... but when the church turns political... YUCK!
Let me just break it down for you... Some pastors have used their churches as a political theatre. Wasted incredible energy preaching the gospel of politics and placed their hope in some person running for political office. Who at their best still pales in comparison to the only person who can make a true difference in our personal lives, our community life, and our nations life. Heck... He can change the world... and has! Rather than the waste the precious time I have communicating on a public stage about the NEXT great hope for our country... I think I will talk about Jesus! Because that is who I am voting for...
