CAN’T HAVE JOY OR VOTING—WITHOUT JESUS!

      When you kick God and Jesus Christ out of society (as American has continually been trying to do since the 1950s) why are we ‘shocked’ when those who lead the charge to push them out are dismayed at the bitter fruit of their efforts?  When God and Jesus Christ are pushed out, who comes to fill the vacuum? None other than Satan himself.

      The recent gathering of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago had ALL the groups and trappings on display who hate God and Jesus Christ.  A Planned Parenthood ‘meat wagon’ for carrying out vasectomies and abortions; protesters in the streets protesting the right of Israel to exist, and a convention hall full of those who were anxious to turn America into Venezuela and Cuba—and lying about it to their followers and the mainstream press covering the event.

     Yeah, I would call this not a crime problem, not a morality problem, but a SIN problem!

      Going against God’s Word (the KJV Bible) and putting forth candidates that are CLEARLY against regular Americans (but are pro-illegal aliens) and then pressuring African Americans who have a track record of being discriminated against by Democrats since the Civil War (and possibly earlier) to vote for them AGAIN is nothing to be ‘joyful’ about.  Americans across the board have been pressured to vote against their OWN interest for a group of people who are more interested in keeping their political jobs while urging Black folk to forget what has been happening in our economy for the last three-plus years under the Biden-Harris sledgehammer in DC borders on insanity.

      But then, what would you expect from people who have been ‘cooking the economic books’ since they got into office in 2021.  When all one political party must go on is emotion and tell people to have ‘joy’ without Jesus, it not only insults the American voter…it insults God.  God is NOT the author of confusion, and He is not one to have people to ‘bow down’ to feelings without having them to check His word.

      With Labor Day not that far off, Americans of all stripes will start to tune out the hype and look at the reality of “…are you better off now than you were four years ago?”  Each election cycle is a new opportunity to correct past mistakes.  As one preacher recently noted: “When God gives you a new beginning, don’t repeat the same old mistakes.”  Hopefully, the Black community—much of it still goes to church—will vote the Bible and remember which candidates are standing for—or against—the sin in our current society.

      Remember, the ballot is secret for a reason.  You don’t have to ‘explain’ to anyone how you voted.  Just make sure that you vote for people who have YOU in mind, and not just themselves.
