Once again, one of my favorite Bible teachers hits the nail squarely on the head! I hope and pray that you enjoy the occasional devotionals. I'm not trying to preach, but I just feel as though the concepts are so good that everyone needs to read them. Folks, our society, our nation, our politics are not going to change until we return to the moral principles of our founding fathers. We need to be able to boldly say that abortion is wrong, that illegal immigrants are criminals. We also need to be involved in the political system. We need strong, conservative candidates, people who aren't afraid to speak their heart, as well as their logic and knowledge.

It doesn't take much to be involved. Do you have a national calling plan at home? Can you make phone calls to remind folks to get out and vote and ask them to vote for our conservative. Do you like to walk? Can you distribute literature in your precinct? Are you a homeschooler? There is no better way to teach them about politics from the ground up than to help distribute literature from door to door. Do you teach in the public high schools and middle schools? What a perfect field trip at the end of the year to go out distributing literature for our conservative candidates.

Folks, we have to push harder than our liberal opponents. Never underestimate the power of your opponents. They are ruthless and strong. We must be stronger. We must invoke the power of our almighty God, just as King David did when he slew the giant, Goliath, with a stone to the forehead. How big is your God?
I have a very big and powerful God. He needs to be involved in our everyday matters once again. He needs to be involved in our public schools. He needs to be involved in our process of self-governance. He needs to be involved in your life. Can you, will you be politically involved? Can you, will you, be a champion for morality? America's Independent Party was formed for just this very purpose--to provide a structure through which the "common man" could have a political impact. If you have not checked them out, please do so today!

Garden of Eden: Still Obedient

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.
Romans 5:19

Genesis 3:8-10

The American economic crisis that developed in 2008 cannot be attributed to the fault of a single individual. But as perceived by the public, it was a case of one "group" of leaders making bad policy decisions which would need to be rectified by a new group of leaders—the incoming administration in 2009.

That is an oversimplification, but there is a biblical example of a "fault" and a "fix" that is easy to understand. The "fault" happened in the Garden of Eden when Adam chose to disobey God and eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And the "fix" came when the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45), Jesus Christ, chose to obey God and restore the human righteousness that the first Adam forfeited by his disobedience.

When you are tempted to disobey, remember the Garden of Eden—what the first Adam lost and the last Adam recovered—and choose to obey.

Just as obedience to the Lord is an indication of our love for him, so is it also a proof of our fear of God.
