We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We are too apt to forget that temptation to sin will rarely present itself to us in its true colors, saying, “I am your deadly enemy, and I want to ruin you forever in hell.” Oh, no! sin comes to us, like Judas, with a kiss; and like Joab, with an outstretched hand and flattering words. The forbidden fruit seemed good and desirable to Eve; yet it cast her out of Eden.
J.C. Ryle

We must exercise our privilege and responsibility to vote. We must educate ourselves regarding the platforms of the candidates (what do they believe?). We must pray and cast our vote in good conscience. We must trust God that in His sovereignty, ultimately is the one who appoints leaders. We are not to let politics divide our church or hinder our Gospel outreach. We must remember that God can use evil leaders to accomplish His eternal plans. We must trust that God will in all things bring good to His people. We must submit to whomever is appointed to be our next President. We must remember that our highest King is the Lord, Jesus Christ. We must vote not according to feelings or popularity, but rather biblical principles. Law and order. According to Romans 13, this is God’s calling for civil authorities – to reward good and punish evil. Sexuality. Where does he/she stand on the biblical definition of marriage between one man and one woman, gender as created by God and the curriculum introduced to our children? Character. Though we are not electing a pastor, does the man/woman keep his/her word, respect others, deal justly, promote biblical virtues, help the needy, make wise decisions and act as a peacemaker? Effectiveness. Is he/she a proven leader? Will he/she do what is best for the economy, military, environment, education system and health care. Will he/she appoint conservative justices and strictly follow the Constitution? Religious Freedom. Does he/she support the church respecting our freedom to worship? Will he/she support our religious convictions, free speech and private education? Will he/she aid Christians persecuted oversees? Sanctity of life. Does he/she stand for the sacredness of life extending from the unborn to the elderly? Will he/she seek to abolish tax-payer funding for abortion?

8:1 ¶ Men bagay ki pi enpòtan nan tou sa m’ap di la a: Nou gen yon kalite granprèt konsa ki chita sou bò dwat fòtèy Bondye ki wa nan syèl la.

8:2 L’ap fè sèvis granprèt li nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a, sa vle di, nan kay tout bon an, kay Seyè a menm te bati. Se pa t’ moun ki te bati l’ pou li.

8:3 Travay yon granprèt, se ofri kado ak bèt pou touye bay Bondye. Nan kondisyon sa a, granprèt nou an dwe gen kichòy pou l’ ofri tou.

8:4 Si Jezi te sou latè, menm senp prèt li pa ta ye, paske gen prèt deja ki la pou ofri kado yo, dapre jan lalwa Moyiz la vle l’ la.

8:5 Nan sèvis prèt sa yo ap fè nan tanp ki sou latè a, se kopye y’ap kopye sou sa k’ap fèt nan syèl la. Sa y’ap fè a ou ta di se lonbraj sa k’ap fèt nan syèl la. Se konsa sa te ye pou Moyiz tou. Lè Moyiz tapral moute tant lan, Bondye di li: Gade byen pou ou ka fè tout bagay dapre modèl mwen te moutre ou sou mòn lan.

8:6 ¶ Men, koulye a, sèvis granprèt nou an gen pou l’ fè a pi konsekan lontan pase sèvis prèt sa yo. Paske, kontra li te ranje ant Bondye ak lèzòm lan pi bon lontan, li gen pi bon pwomès ki garanti li.

8:7 Si premye kontra a pa t’ gen defo, pa ta gen nesesite pou yo ta fè yon lòt kontra pou pran plas li.

8:8 Men, Bondye te gen repwòch pou l’ fè pèp li a. Se sak fè Bondye di: Gade, pa rete lontan ankò anvan pou m’ fè yon lòt kontra avèk pèp Izrayèl la, avèk branch fanmi Jida a.

8:9 Bondye di ankò: Se p’ap yon kontra tankou kontra mwen te fè avèk zansèt yo a, lè m’ te pran men yo pou m’ te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Yo pa t’ fè tou sa yo te dwe fè dapre kontra mwen te fè ak yo a. Se poutèt sa, mwen pa t’ okipe yo tou.

8:10 Bondye di ankò: Men kontra mwen pral fè ak pèp Izrayèl la, apre jou sa yo fin pase. M’a mete lwa m’ yo nan lespri yo, m’a make lwa m’ yo nan kè yo. M’a tounen Bondye tout bon pou yo, y’a tounen yon pèp ki apa pou mwen.

8:11 Pesonn p’ap bezwen moutre yon lòt moun anyen nan peyi a. Pesonn p’ap bezwen di yon lòt nan peyi a: Manyè chache konn Bondye. Paske, yo tout y’a konnen m’, depi sa ki tou piti a jouk sa ki pi gran an.

8:12 M’a padonnen sa yo fè ki mal, mwen p’ap chonje peche yo ankò.

8:13 Lè Bondye di li pral fè yon lòt kontra, li fè premye kontra a pase mòd. Tou sa ki pase mòd, tou sa ki fin vye prèt pou disparèt.
