The short answer to this question... we are sinners.
I know that I have many Christian friends who want to avoid "the politics" for "fear of losing friends"... But do we use this same method when talking about Christ? Aren't we (speaking to my Christian friends) put here to be a light?! To spread the Word of God? I believe that is our highest priority!...
That being said... I believe God uses many people and many ways to do this! The missionary who goes... that is awesome... but I believe that often times, the ones who send them get forgotten! Who do you think God uses to fund you??!! I will answer that question... Business owners!! (yes, I know God can get money from trees if he wanted too... but the method I'm describing is usually how it happens these days... so bear with me and don't get side-tracked...)
To be more specific... Christian Business Owners!! How do I know this? I'm married to one! And not only am I married to one, I know that he has friends of the same... I have seen my husband give... when I (yes, lacking faith) would not have given... I have seen him give Big, and give Often... I do not say this to bring attention to our business... or even to praise my husband... I say this to make a point...
Business owners... we are struggling! This economy in the USA is hurting and I believe that is the only reason Trump is running. Trump gets business... Trump loves people....
Trump... (ugg you think... why you gotta bring him up? I just wanna ignore and hopefully they will all go away...) Sorry folks... but I gotta rant just slightly... I cancelled my 12 year old subscription to World Magazine... I was so frustrated by a huge cover story comparing Trump to Bill Clinton... Clinton has been *PROVEN* to abuse and take advantage of woman... Trump *TALKED CRUDELY in private* and has apologized for it... Hillary has been *PROVEN* to break the law concerning her e-mails, not to mention when she allowed our men to die in Benghazi... but where, on World Magazine did they plaster her face and call for her to GO TO JAIL OR STEP DOWN?!!! (end rant...for now)
Fellow Christians... I too like to avoid conflict... but I (for the first time really) am passionate about this election! Businesses like ours will NOT THRIVE under a Clinton administration! We *might* (my personal opinion is that we will not) survive... but to quote a song I love "we were made to more than just survive... we were made to THRIVE (Casting Crowns)" I believe this carries into all of life. God did not call us to be weak or wimps... but to be leaders and helpers. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
We employ people... as do so many other small business owners.... Help us save our businesses!
Vote Trump on November 8th!
*If I have offended you (i.e. hurt your feelings) with anything said here... I've come to realize... I'm ok with that... I care more about my children's future, then hurting feelings or skirting around what I believe to be truth. (by all means... if I have said something terribly un-biblical, I always encourage others to call me out on it!... I'm strong enough to take it and *I pray* humble enough to apologize)
I challenge you, STAND UP for what YOU believe is Truth!
God Bless the USA!
