Pastor’s Desk: Your vote does matter

There is much at stake in this November election, from abortion and the Presidential race, to name a few.

Emotions on all sides are running high, sadly even hurting families and friendships. Assassination attempts, apparent false facts by candidates, social media, news outlets and special interest groups have further “fanned the flames” of contention.

Contention is a tool of the devil and has no place in our hearts, homes, churches, elections and society.

There are some, maybe many that don’t vote because: “my vote doesn’t matter”.

Your votes and voice do matter!

They matter to the past, present and future millions of our military and their families whom sacrificed much, even their lives!

They matter to the unborn, and the future safety, security and prosperity of our country!

Our votes and voice matter to the God of Heaven and Earth!  You may be thinking: How is this?

“17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 ¶ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
