As a nation we have come to a crossroad in which we must choose between
the high road and the low road. The high road upholds America's peaceful
tradition of Judeo - Christian values. The low road marches us toward
secular paganism.
It's time to pray and act with wisdom. There are false prophets out there who
say that pastors, priests, and rabbis cannot teach, preach, and pray before
their congregations on what the Holy Scriptures say on the issues like
homosexuality and child sacrifice while explaining where officials and
candidates stand on those issues. People say a church or synagogue must
observe a gag rule against moral criticism or application of Judeo -
Christian standards to our leaders. The First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution which protects the American freedoms of Speech, Religious
Exercise, Assembly and the Press says that view is dead wrong. So as a
shepherd it is my duty to protect the sheep from moral error (Ezekiel 34). If I
fail to sound the alarm (Ezekiel 33), I will be held accountable. I have nothing
to do whatsoever with any political campaign or candidate. What I am doing
is stating documented facts. You must decide for yourself who you will
choose.

When a fully formed baby is delivered via partial birth abortion, delivering all
but the head then piercing the infant's scull and sucking out their brains or
when a baby with down syndrome is left to die in a utility room. Can there be
any doubt that the infant has been sacrificed to the gods of self, convenience
and Mammon. Lev. 18-21:23 forbids us to sacrifice our children. All of
Scripture compels us to teach and preach that to sacrifice the life of a child
or to pursue same sex intercourse or lesbianism is a serious matter of sin. I
know this is politically incorrect to say. But western societies cannot afford
to promote sexual immorality, venereal disease and infanticide. It is a
pagan path that is certain to incite further conflict with militant Islam.
We must preach and teach according to conscience and Scripture on the
subjects of natural marriage, homosexuality and the sanctity of human life.
Pray for our national leaders, pray for the upcoming elections, put your faith
in action and vote on November 4th.
