WOW! You've Gotta See This

You have got to check out this blog post from Randy Alcorn. I found this post via my pastor's blog. According to Pastor Chris, Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching biblical truth and drawing attention to the needy and how to help them. EPM exists to meet the needs of the unreached, unfed, unborn, uneducated, unreconciled and unsupported people around the world.

I strongly encourage you to check out Randy's blog post:

I'm Not Voting for a Man, I'm Voting for Generations of Children and Their Right to Live

Again, I am not a single issue voter, but the Bible is very clear. This one issue is more than enough.

An excerpt (because I've heard people say this very thing):

I've heard other prolife people say "I don't like either candidate, so I'm not voting at all." Well, ask yourself who you're willing to punish by not voting. If it's political parties who will pay, fine, I really don't care about them. Sure, it would be better not to vote than to vote against God's children's right to live. But if instead of abstaining you have a chance to vote for God's children's right to live, why would you not do that? (Don't vote for the man, vote for generations of children who will have a chance to live if he's elected, even if he's just a mediocre president in other areas.)

If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to Molech…I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him… (Leviticus 20:1-5)
