Yesterday morning, Autumn my mom and I had the pleasure of attending a Chuck Baldwin rally in Springfield at Ihop. There were only 25 people there which sounds like a very small group. But to tell the truth that was 20 more then I was expecting. Eugene/Springfield is a very liberal city/s and every where I go I see Obama bumper stickers and other stuff like that. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama ends up wining the state of Oregon. Unfortunately, my camera went out of batteries before I could take much pictures at the rally. And the ones that I did get came out really bad. But I am posting one anyway, so to prove that I really was there:)
We got there an hour into his speech. But we still had a wonderful time. He talked about and answered questions on every issue, from the second amendment to "right to life". I heartily agreed with everything he said. Expect for one thing. He said that " I would sooner vote for someone who was not a Christian who believed in and hold up the standards of the constitution then someone who was a christian and did not". And as my mom said, "that is where we part ways". I do not believe in voting for a non christian. And if I was in that position I would just not vote ( or I would write in one of my brothers names=). But fortunately I don't think I will ever find myself in that situation. If there was a man who held the same beliefs as Chuck Baldwin I can not see how he could not be a Christan. Think about. If you did not believe in God or his word why would you have reason to fellow the constitution? Or do anything right or good! For example. You don't apologize to someone because it is easy, you do it because it is the right thing to do. Just like we are not voting for Chuck Baldwin because we think he will win. We are doing it because it is the right thing to do.
I like how Amanda Dixon put it " not to vote for the best chance, but the best choice".
I really do not think Mr Baldwin is going to win. But if we vote for him now, we will show America what we really want. And I pray that in the next few generation we will have a man like Chuck Baldwin for President. In fact I know that we will because of Gods promise.... "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7).
There is no doubt in my mind that either Obama or McCain will be our next President. But I am not afraid. I rest peacefully in the thought that God works everything out for his will and so that his Glory may be seen!
