The Back Pew Voters Guide

It is election time in America... READY or NOT
and so I am sharing my '2022 Voters Guide'... READY or NOT

At a glance, it appears again to be a choice between candidate 'Tweedle-dee' or candidate 'Tweedle-dum'.

Over the last few months my US mailbox has become a fire hazard as the daily collection of election flyers pile up.

And Nightly my senses are bombarded with the TV political ads filling almost every bit of commercial air time declaring which candidates are the 'chosen' and which ones by contrast were purely Satan's spawn.

Then, just like that. POOF all the advertisements are gone after election day. It's like the circus came to town, then in the night the big tents and carnies are all packed up and gone not to be seen again until the next election in two years.

The question is... Does my vote matter? After all my choices were tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum. Do we just pick a 'tweedle' or do we vote on issues?

It is discouraging as it appears nothing ever changes after those 'tweedles' are elected. They seem to fit right into the government grid-locked like all the other previously elected tweedle lego pieces in a 500,000-piece government bureaucracy lego set.

But ironically even with all the above being true...

It matters greatly who we vote for.

Those elected officials, write the laws that govern our country, and to a large extent the collective morality in our society.

Please don't vote just for a party because you always have been a democrat or republican. Vote for candidate who most closely has a Biblical World View.

Of course, the media and many progressive churches call voting according to a Biblical World View something that smells of Christian Nationalism. The term Christian Nationalism has become the new boogie man attempting to shame Christians who vote with God in mind.

Personally, I love my God, and I love my country.. but I do not confuse the two. Just like I love my wife and I love pizza, but do not confuse the two. Nuff said.

So I would like to encourage all Christians to... Pray, Listen to God, understand the issues, repent, and then Vote.

And sadly, never in my lifetime have traditional Biblical morality been under a greater attack. Let me cite a few obvious examples.

Abortion - the murder of a baby in the womb wrapped in the gentle word 'choice'.
Gender Identity - NEWS FLASH!! There are only 2. You don't pick your gender, it picks you.
LGBTQ - The LGBTQ community and same-sex marriage are matters of sin as clearly stated in the Bible. God's Word, not mine.
Drag Queen Story Hour - Why is this perverse grooming coddled in America?
Secure Borders - We can discuss how this should look, but open borders are WRONG
Gender 'affirming' treatment - aka sex-change via chemicals and surgeries

Those tweedles we vote for will legislate on the above issues and so many more. So again, choose your 'tweedles' wisely and prayerfully.

Please pray for election integrity, and our country returns to a Biblical World View.

In the mean time I know no matter the outcome of this or any election, my God is sovereign and this is where I place my faith not in any tweedle-dee or dum.

So this concludes my 2022 Back Pew Voters Guide.

Messiah for.. President?

The Messiah is here! We will all be saved by the 2020 Presidential Election! ??

hmmm .. not so much

I was listening to the radio a few election years back on the way to vote, and there was an interview with a young woman who took her daughter out of school to vote. This woman was so excited to vote for president saying.. “I have hope for the first time in my life. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car or paying my mortgage because if I help ‘him’ with my vote.. ‘he’ will help me.”

I actually heard this with my own ears… I am not embellishing! I quickly drove to my place of voting hopeful to see if Jesus Christ was on the ballot. He was not.

I hope to think her point was made with a broad brush speaking to a big picture of hope, but it still made me cringe. Truth is.. UNLESS the candidate she votes for owns the gas station chain she frequents, and owns the mortgage note on her house .. her hope is NOT found in either candidate.

Oh, and who we vote for should be based on God's Truth, and not persuaded by a meddling MSM.

Don't get me wrong, it matters who we vote for. It matters who is president. Our politicians form our laws, approve judges, and in these laws either obey or disobey God's Truths. This is why we vote. But let's be clear we vote for a President of the USA, not Pastor of the USA.

BUT BACK to the point of this blog. While voting is important, and who we choose will make a difference this country will move, BUT no matter who is elected neither candidate is Jesus Christ and he will NOT be the Messiah.

POTUS is NOT the chosen one. Neither Trump nor Biden is our savior.

What this country needs most is a real REVIVAL where the hearts and minds of Americans seek God's first. Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, not happy is the nation whose god is whoever you want him/her to be.

There is only one God .. PERIOD, and America needs to HONOR Him not apologize for Him.

‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets (and elections?) hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-39

In conclusion, Pray for our leaders, pray his will to be found in their actions and words.. but Pray to Jesus (our Messiah) as our hope is in the one true God.

Back Pew blessings to all and.. in November vote early, and vote OFTEN! ( a little Chicago politics corruption humor)

I am Jeff Larson, and I approve of this message.
