[QUOTE="godisagardener, post: 77548896, member: 444834"] God puts people in positions of authority. We don't always understand why, but the reasons are His. We need to pray for our elected leaders. We need to pray that we elect the right people. We need to go to the polls and vote for those we believe can lead our country in the right direction. And not just as president, but as senators, legislators, and state and local representatives. We need to study the candidates, learn about them and compare them. As you mentioned, no one is perfect. No one out there will meet all the criteria you listed. And just because someone is a pastor or a Baptist, it doesn't mean they'd be a good leader in any of those positions I mentioned. Pastors fall because the world calls, just like anyone else. Someone once said "absolute power corrupts absolutely". I look for Christian qualities in candidates, but we Christians can be hypocrites with the best of them. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the campaign. Jimmy Carter is 99 years old. He won't be running any time soon. I think Mike Pence has had enough of the muck inside politics. The others you mentioned are worth a look. Unfortunately, there are probably quite a few good people out there who could do a lot for our country, regardless of party affiliation, but they don't have the money to spend to make a name for themselves. And maybe they're too smart to want to run for office. [/QUOTE]
