Who's Going To Throw The First Stone?

“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”-John 8:7b.
Election is in the air. Today is Monday October 22nd and in two weeks from tomorrow, on Tuesday November 6th (my son, Kwayne's 22nd birthday), Americans will cast their vote for the next President or the continuation of the current President. 

Having been in this country 17+ years now and not able to vote, I still believe I have a say as what happens does affect me while I'm here. 

I have a personal experience with the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as I was pursued by a group of Mormons in the nineties before becoming a minister of the gospel. Mormons came to my home and we sat down and compare literature from the book of mormons and they even came to the church I was attending and sat in the front row while service was in full "swing." 

I realised how determined these young men were and soon discovered after watching a documentary on cults of the world who the mormons truly were. It took a while but God opened up my eyes to see who the Mormons, Jehovah's witnesses, muslims, seikhs and other religions truly were. Some of which I had already known of course.

I know of a certainty that whoever gets elected may not be influenced by their religion in their day to day decision making process. However I must interject here that as Christians we need to realise that unless the Lord is in the building of the house those who labor, labor in vain. 

Our current President has professed he is a Christian and he may have made some questionable decisions as well as carried out some actions that make us cringe at the idea of him professing to be a Christian but you know what? We are not here to judge him. We're supposed to love him (John 13:34-35) and pray for him (James 5:16). After all we don't want to fall into temptation ourselves (Gal.6:1).

Therefore let us rally behind the one who is truly backed by our God because noone is perfect. All Catholics and Protestants, all Charismatics and Evangelicals, all who have a right to vote and know who is the right choice. Go out and make your vote count make your choice be heard and make God pleased. Do the right thing on November 6th. We are Christians by our love for one another and we talk with God about strengthening each other where we're weak. Let us make our God proud by obeying his every command concerning our brothers and sisters. God bless each and everyone. God bless America!
