Why Not?!
By Crystal Broyles, July 28, 2004
On Tuesday July the 27th at the Democratic National Convention Teresa Heinz Kerry said: “There is a value in taking a stand even if nobody notices…” This is true for the gays, and for the lesbians, for the atheists, and those that are anti Ten Commandments, those who support embryonic stem cell research, abortionists, pro-choice advocates, feminists and on and on the list goes with the liberal lefts. All of the individuals in these groups are advocates. For what? For their causes.
Then we have the “evangelical” Bible believing Christians and the conservatives. What are they doing? What is their center point of activism? What are they advocating? The other week my mother called our church and spoke to one of the leaders in the church. She was excited and wanted to get the youth group on board educating the community about the presidential candidates and encouraging voter registration and participation. The reply she received was, “No, we [the church] don’t get involved in that.” Now I must ask, “Why not?!” The gays and lesbians have a voice! The atheists have a voice! The pro-choice supporters have a voice! The feminists have a voice! The liberal left have a voice and they are all actively pushing their anti God – liberal agenda.
Teresa Heinz Kerry marveled and wowed the crowds of the Democratic National Convention last night as she spoke. Toward the closing of her speech she was talking about the “morals” her husband would bring to the White House. Among these morals she said, “It is a moral nation that leads through the power of its ideals...” She never once acknowledged God … that is until the close of her speech she said, “God bless America”. When are we as American’s going to stop requesting that God bless us and instead us as American’s bless God?
American revivalist, Charles Finney said, “It seems at times as if the foundations of our nation are rotten, and Christians seem to act as if they think God does not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see, and he will bless or curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics.”
When are the conservative Christians going to stop being political pacifists and start being political activists?
Once again to quote Mrs. Kerry, “It is a moral nation that leads through the power of its ideals...” If John Kerry is elected president on November 2nd our nation will be lead by ideals - not the living God ... that is a Kerry ran nation, is it yours?
