Where is the Muslim outrage? Jeff Jacoby http://www.townhall.com/columnists/jeffjacoby/jj20040910.shtml September 10, 2004 They are still burying the victims of the latest atrocity committed by evildoers professing Islam -- the slaughter of hundreds of children, teachers, and parents in an elementary school in Beslan, Russia. And from Muslims the world over, as usual, has come mostly silence. There have been no public demonstrations by Muslims anxious to make it clear how outraged and sickened they are that anyone could commit such unspeakable deeds as an act of Islamic faith. There has been no anguished outcry by Islam's leading imams and sheiks. Prominent Muslim organizations in the West have not called press conferences to express their disgust and anger. Once again the world has witnessed a savage episode of Islamist terror, and once again it strains to hear a convincing rejection of the terrorists from those who should care most about Islam's reputation. |

Unholy war, but Muslims are on both sides now Clifford D. May http://www.townhall.com/columnists/cliffordmay/cm20040909.shtml September 9, 2004Christians slaughtered by terrorists in Beslan, Russia. Nepalese Hindus butchered by terrorists in Iraq. Jews suicide-bombed in Beersheba, Israel. As we approach the third anniversary of 9/11, adherents of a radically and rabidly politicized version of Islam are not discriminating – they are attacking innocents of all races, creeds and colors. |

I worry that they are all trying to scam us. The Bush Betrayal http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin196.htm by Pastor Chuck Baldwin Maybe that's how the end happens...maybe we should all vote for Petroutka even if he doesn't stand a chance because he really does promote Godly values. At least when the scales are balanced, and they will be on reard day even if we won't get judgment day, we can have them tip in our favor by voting the Godly man regardless... |

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/voting.html Do Christians Have an Obligation to Vote? I once heard of a church where members thought it was against God’s will to vote. Concerned that a corrupt politician would win a local election, church members gathered for an all-night prayer vigil. In the morning, however, they refused to vote and the good candidate lost--by fewer than the number of votes represented by those at the prayer meeting. It seems tragic, but maybe those church members did the right thing. After all, isn't politics a dirty business? Christians are citizens of heaven, not of earth...right? Every Christian must grapple with this question and come up with a defensible answer. THE HIGH COST OF INDIFFERENCE I teach political communication at a Christian college. Once several years ago students in my class complained endlessly about seedy politicians. Yet the day after the election, I discovered that only two of them had voted, and most weren't even REGISTERED to vote! I told them, "For the rest of the semester, if you didn't vote, you have lost your right to complain in this class." Years later they still remember the lesson. |

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN CITIZEN There are at least five good reasons why Christians should vote: God has granted us authority. All authority belongs to God, but He has put human beings on the earth as caretakers. What is our task? According to Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, we are to go out and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey God in every area of life. This includes politics. We must disciple people to make godly decisions about government, and promote the efforts of those who are already doing so. We need to stand against evil. St. Augustine said those who are citizens of God’s kingdom are best equipped to be citizens of the kingdom of man. The alternative is unthinkable. In the 20th Century, atheistic and secular humanistic leaders gained control of nations all across Europe, Asia and Africa. What was the result? According to historian R. J. Rummel, almost 170 million men, women and children have been brutally murdered by these governments, all in the name of human progress. These facts led historian John Hallowell to note, "Only through a return to faith in God, as God revealed Himself to man in Jesus Christ, can modern man and his society find redemption from the tyranny of evil." Christian values contribute positively to society. The Bible’s solutions make sense. It is Christian involvement in government through the ages that gave us hospitals, civil liberties, abolition of slavery, modern science, the elevation of women, regard for human life, great works of art and literature, a workable system of justice, education for common people, the free-enterprise system, and much, much more. When we see the good that results from applying God’s principles, and the horror that results from rejecting them, doesn't it seem cruel and irresponsible to keep Jesus’ teachings about truth, love and compassion to ourselves? At very least, we should vote to keep OUT of office those who attempt to oppose God's authority. |

Obedience to authority demands good citizenship. The Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 13 clearly states that we must obey governmental leaders because all authority comes from God. Here’s the catch: in America, the people are the leaders! Here, at least, we express our obedience to God by exercising our rights and privileges as citizens. That means voting. Good citizenship sets an example for generations to come. Those who apply God’s principles to government pave the way for generations of blessing. In 1768 a Christian minister named John Witherspoon became president of the College of New Jersey, now Princeton. While there he taught biblical principles of government to his students. Of the 478 young men who were graduated during his tenure, writes author John Eidsmoe, "114 became ministers; 13 were state governors; 3 were U. S. Supreme Court judges; 20 were U.S. Senators; 33 were U. S. Congressmen; Aaron Burr, Jr. became Vice-President; and James Madison became President." As a Christian, Witherspoon exerted an enormous influence on the direction of American government. You and I may not have the gifts of John Witherspoon, but we can still make a big difference if we put our minds to it. Pass this on to friends and family, and encourage them to vote in the every election! Author: Jeffrey L. Myers, Ph.D. From his book Vital Truth: Christian Citizenship (February 2003).

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/douggiles/dg20040911.shtml Energizing Evangeli-fish to Vote Doug Giles September 11, 2004 Four million evangelicals didn’t vote in the 2000 presidential election. Great ... way to go Church! Onward Christian soldiers [or should it be backward?]. It’s a scary thought: we almost had Al Gore playing Frankenstein around the White House because a few million folks who should have known better refused to get up from the couch on which they were playing potato, go to the polls and vote. Why the vacuum at the voting booth in 2000, people of God? Were you stunned into placidity the Sunday before the last election because of a tedious three point sermon, delivered by a coma-inducing pastor, who left you bereft of hope? Then, reeling from such freshly mainlined pessimism, in your depressed state, you pampered yourself with the Lumberjack Slam at Denny’s which immobilized you with violent flatulence and more material stuff, all the way through election Tuesday. Or, Christian, was your refusal to register and vote based on the no-duh deduction that politics is dirty business and since it is such a DB you shouldn’t be involved in it. News flash! Within the church’s stained glass walls, there are Machiavellian battles, ecclesiastical squabbles and denominational sniping that make Republicans and Democrats look like the Brady Bunch, and Bush and Kerry seem like Paris and Nicole. Sadly, church can be a very dirty business, sometimes even more political than politics … but you still go to church, don’t you? Or have you abandoned God’s house, as well? Or, is it that you will not vote for a President unless he is Mr. Perfect according to your pristine, subjective view? If so, I suggest you do a doe-si-doe out of la-la-land and into reality. Hey! It’s the president we’re electing, not an unblemished savior to make atonement for the world’s sins. That was Christ’s job, and he’s already finished it and hopefully enjoying his retirement. When you’re vacillating in the valley of decision wondering whether or not you are going to vote, remember: we’re electing a president not a messiah. |

A friend's response to article... Amen... We are sadly lacking in real Pastors (tenders of God's Flock) these days and the resulting in church buildings (Cribs) full of Babies in Christ, forever on milk and pablum, never growing up to maturity by eating meat... They are more like 'sleep therapists' than teachers of God's Word, who should be teaching their respective 'flocks' they have a duty and responsibility in society to MAKE A DIFFERENCE, STAND UP FOR RIGHT, TEAR DOWN EVIL, TRAMPLE UNDERFOOT EVIL DEMONIC SPIRITS... If Christians don't ______ who will? Freedom is not free and that mostly applies to our freedom to be a Christian... This country was founded on Christians who demanded freedom to worship God as they wished... We have 'example after example' in God's Holy Word of men, women and Christians who dared to make a difference in the most inconvienent of times... We can thank THEM for our freedom to have God's Word today... Are we 'salty' enough?! If not, we're no good for seasoning, no good for anything actually... 'Saltless' tasteing salt is just thrown away... Are we afraid to SPEAK UP, STAND OUT, MAKE A STATEMENT for our LORD? There ARE NO GIANTS out there!!! We fear itty bitty grasshoppers, locusts who will eat you out of house and home if allowed to multiply and invade... God's Word is like RAID is to roaches... Even a little can go a long way... Don't Christians KNOW that the 'powers that be' would like to nulify and outlaw our GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO VOTE? Are we going to just give up that RIGHT by default without a FIGHT? margie |

Don't you wish they would have used the correct words when they translated, like condemn not instead of judge not and thou shall not murder instead of kill and Whosoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life, believes should have been more like committs, even the devil believes.

I guess if you get permission from one who writes post, you can use it. Prayon said you could use hers too. :) If occassionally I was blessed enough to write something really good, I'd want it read by those it may help. I have Delphi forum, talks about everything from politics to religion. Sometimes it gets a little heated there. :) http://forums.delphiforums.com/unitedchristia1/start |
