Living victoriously in a culture of death

Our Pastor's message tonight was kind of a pre-election reminder without saying how one should vote. He provided these non-negotiables:

1. Abortion is murder
   
2. Euthanasia is murder
   
3. Fetal stem stell research (that requires the destruction of a fertized egg) is wrong as it human cloning
   
4. Marriage is defined Scripturally as only between a man and a woman
   

The Pastor's point is that we need to vote understanding that these issues are moral issues with a solid Biblical foundation that must not be negotiated away by the believer.

He then had 4 points about the election

1. God is sovereign!
   
2. The Christian is secure
   
3. Our mission is clear - to evangelize the lost with the Gospel of Christ
   
4. Christians must live lives consistent with the Gospel. The world yearns to see authentic Christianity
   

A good quote from Pastor McLachlan: "we pray 'Our Father who art in heaven' ... not 'Our Father who art in Washington'"

25 years ago I was naive enough to believe that government might help save America. My perspective now (I believe Biblically) is that while we must vote (it is our civic responsibility), that only Christ and the message of His Gospel can truly save America!
