God: He’s most important party in election year

As our nation searches for which political party will offer us the best deal for the next four years, there is one missing element: God himself.

We have allowed our country to reject His recipe for success. As a result He has had to intervene and allow the removal of many of our blessings in the form of a pandemic, extreme weather patterns, creating fires, floods and turbulent air.

These have threatened our families, health, income and homes.

One political party endorses abortion, supports an often morally corrupt entertainment industry and a socialist society that has decimated places like Venezuela.

The other promises a return to economic prosperity in a culture that often misuses money to satisfy its appetites.

The third party is God, who wants the best for all of us if we merely change and repent of our rebellious behavior. He promises peace, prosperity and abundance if we live by His rules.

It is essential to become Biblically literate during these trying times.
