A long post but I was inspired.
So I have to go on the road this evening well after 10 p.m. And I turn on a Christian radio station and that's when I heard the woman I posted the link to speaking about this election.

Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., joined the Don Kroah Show to discuss Hillary Clinton’s immoral record on the sanctity of life. John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, talked with Mark Elfstrand about why Christians need to show up and vote on Election Day. Richard Pollock of the Daily Caller has dug up the dirty deeds of the Clinton Foundation and he shares his findings with Kroah. Jake Mulder, author of “Growing Young: Six Essential Strategies to Help Young People Discover and Love Your Church, shares thoughts from his book with Craig Roberts. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of Duck Dynasty, joined the Eric Metaxas Show to talk about the presidential race and a new movie he worked on. When so much in the world seems to be going wrong, Bob Burney shares a story where something actually went right!
God is always on time. He may not "come when called", as we pray for immediate relief for any given situation we find ourselves in. But being he's eternally present and aware of our place in this life, he's always able to send the right messenger at the right time.
Of late I've allowed myself to get caught up in the worldly forums politics as relate to this election.
I repent of my attitude in getting led to respond in kind to some of the remarks there. Sadly, remarks from Christians.
What I enjoyed the most about this radio broadcast was that Dr.King said this election she's voting for life. Not personalities. And being we're Christians and the candidate that is most under fire is Donald Trump, who's repented and apologized for his actions , we're to recall the scriptures and Peter who asked our Lord in Matthew 18, how many times should he forgive that brother or sister that sins against him?
21.Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Dr.King is voting for life. Hillary is pro-abortion. And if she attains the highest office in seating the 9th chair on the Supreme Court, she'll move to put someone in who is pro-choice.
And that person will likely sit for 30 or more years. And in the four years of a presidency Hillary would be able to seat more justices being the age of the oldest ones now. And she would seat them as pro-choice justices too.
This isn't a personality contest. Of all the sins we're reading about either candidate, and in Hillary's case her husband who was once our President, what are we saying as people of Christ?
We're casting stones, joining in the smear campaigns, promoting the rumor mongering.
Is that what our Lord would do? We're to forgive that brother and sister that sins against us 77 times. Or seventy times seven.
What we're not to do is join those who are the walking dead in their sins and contribute to the stoning of that brother and sister with our words.
So I ask forgiveness for any offenses in that line that I am guilty of. And I vow not to participate further.
This election is about life and righteousness. Hillary is pro-abortion. Donald Trump is not.
They're both professing faithful in Christ and only God knows their heart. If we throw stones even at that, God knows our heart too.
This election, vote your conscience. And if you can't see yourself doing that and for a pro-life candidate, then abstain and don't vote because of conscience. But whatever we do, we as representatives of the Living Christ should never ever join with the agents of the world and smear fellow Saints of Christ.
If we didn't need to be forgiven our own trespasses and sins and past history that we all each and everyone know personally to ourselves, we would not have need of our Savior. But we do. And we did. And that's why we laid every dark thing we've ever done at the foot of the cross.
How can we now throw the sins of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton up and cast stones at those, when Donald and Hillary are members of the spiritual body of Christ just as we are?
If we do anything, let us consider praying for Donald and Hillary. Regardless of party affiliation. Because save for the grace of God there go I. And you.
Our sins weren't put on display in public and through the media in print or broadcast form.
The world isn't aware of our face and our sins and our name and our family.
They are of Donald's and Hillary's.
If Jesus Christ can die for them, how can we throw the sins his blood washes clean into the ring and then cast aspersions upon them?
What would Jesus do?
Praise God, he already did it.
What are we doing to prove we appreciate that?
God be with Hillary R. Clinton and Donald Trump. And their families. God protect them, and grant them peace. God forgive them their trespasses and let us show mercy when they repent, apologize, to us even when we're not the aggrieved. And even when they don't. Because their sins are between them and God. And those whom they've personally sinned against.
Let us show mercy as we were shown mercy. And let us never forget when we're ready to jump on a story about someone's failings, that we too are able to fail and fall. And we too are known heart and soul to the one Creator that knows all about us. And sent his grace and died for us anyway.
As we were shown mercy let us show mercy. And pray for those who cast stones toward the candidates as we once did.
Imagine if our sins were public fodder. How would we feel to happen on a website that was talking about us?
God be with his people and the United States of America. Amen.
So I have to go on the road this evening well after 10 p.m. And I turn on a Christian radio station and that's when I heard the woman I posted the link to speaking about this election.
