The True "Hope"

My husband ever-so-gently reminded me last night that I must be careful to not to convey the idea that my hope is in government rather than in Christ. He is right, of course, and that is not the intention of my political comments on this blog. My hope is not in any one candidate, as all people are fallible. No matter who goes to Washington, mistakes will be made along the way. Thanks be to God, we don't need a Messiah! We already have one in the person of Jesus Christ!

While I believe I have a responsibility as a Christian and patriot to vote my conscience, it is comforting to remember that God is still in control. I will stand for the truth I believe in, because there is only one true "hope" for America, and that is Jesus. I will vote for the Sarah Palins of the world, because I think people of conviction move America in a positive direction. And I will vehemently defend the faith of committed Christians from those who would treat us as though we are "backwards morons" without a clue. There's a lot more at stake than our country. There's the name of Christ and the eternal souls of those who deny Him.
