I addressed this issue in PART III of ‘Answering the claim that neither candidate is going to bring us closer to God.’ Based on that article, as a follower of Christ, I trust the Lord and hope to vote for Bush because he is the candidate that will help uphold the sanctity of marriage between man and woman.

PART VII:

Issue of the Poor!

I addressed this issue in PART V of ‘Answering the claim that neither candidate is going to bring us closer to God.’ Based on that article, as a follower of Christ, I don’t believe either candidate is going to make a major difference for the poor so I could go either way.

PART VIII:

Issue of Economy!

I do not let the issue of the economy decide who I should vote for because other issues are more important to me. I also believe when those issues are handled well, our economy will also improve. So, I am sticking with the Bush administration.

PART IX:

Issue of Environment!

I do not let the issue of environment decide who I should vote for too because I believe other issues are more pertinent than the environment. We can have a beautiful empire with the environment being wonderful but what good is an environment when judgment comes because of sin. Garden of Eden was a beautiful environment with everything but man’s sin caused judgment and man was banished from the Garden. My point being when we take care of immoral issues and choose to put a president in office who will help the unborn and protect the sanctity of marriage, I believe without the nation facing judgment, the Lord will give the leaders the conviction with the environment too. Humans in their frailty can only do so much. This is why I do not let the environment be such an issue to decide an election. We are to be stewards of what God gave us. I do hope and pray that Bush will take environmental issues seriously but in light of other circumstances this is not major for me. As a follower of Christ, I am going to trust the Lord and vote for Bush.

PART X:

Issue of Israel:

Both Bush and Kerry support Israel. There are those who do not believe that Israel’s policies should be supported. However, I believe Israel should be supported and the nations that help Israel become more blessed than nations that fight Israel in the long run.

I find it so fascinating and miraculous how protected Israel is even though surrounded by hostile Middle Eastern nations. I believe it is the hand of God protecting Israel. I believe Israel should protect their land from being split. Since both candidates support Israel, I trust the Lord hope to vote for Bush.

It really shocks me and hurts me when I hear or see so much animosity among some Christians towards America’s support of Israel. I am a strong supporter of Israel and my reasons can be summed up by an editorial that can be accessed at ‘Why Christians support Israel’

PART XI:

Issue of Credibility:

As politicians, not many candidates have a strong credibility record but I do look at their records on what they voted for and accomplished. I believe Bush has been more credible than Kerry. As a follower of Christ, I trust the Lord and hope to vote for Bush in this issue too.

As followers of Christ, may we make our vote count by voting! If we decide not to vote for any candidate and we are passionate about issues such as abortion and gay marriage, that will give Kerry more votes and put him in the presidency. Those two issues are the most important to me. I hope they are important to you too!
