Vote Righteousness

http://www.delawarefamilies.org/pdfs/2010_Primary_Voter_Scorecard_(2)3.pdf

We are 2 days away from Mid-term elections.


Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.


• Please understand that this world cannot be changed by politics, governments, or elections - but by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

• As Christians we must not get into the mindset of changing our world through Politics.

----However - we must engage in voting and even running for leadership in America to be righteous - we are commanded to take a stand for righteousness.

Pastors and Churches have always played a huge role to shape the direction of America - Come Tuesday Morning -- You must Vote for Righteous Candidates.

*Vote for candidates that follow the Bible - Morality, Pro-life, pro-religious liberty. You must reject candidates that agree with the pro-gay agenda.

*I would step further and challenge you to realize that socialist candidates are not Biblical - God rewards hard work and says to give to others from your love and will --- not by force.

----First I ask you to Vote - you have not right to complain if you do not vote --- Then Vote Righteousness on Tuesday. Vote for candidates that line up best with God’s Morality, direction, commands.

Thank You!

I wanted to thank each of you that were so thoughtful for Pastor's Appreciation Day this past Sunday.  Thanks to the Deacons who thoughtfully organized everything.

Amy and I opened each card with love and thankfulness.  Thank you for all the gifts and the kind words you expressed.  I especially want to thank the Kings Kids and children's classes for their excellent projects and displays.  I love these things and will cherish them.

It is my great privilege and opportunity to be your Pastor.  I do pray that I will be a faithful and loving under-shepherd to each of you.

Much Love,

pw

When the Towers Fell

When the Towers Fell by Tobe Witmer




You cannot tell a Hero by the ribbons on his chest,

You cannot tell a warrior by weapons on his vest,

But when a man lays down his life for one that’s not his own,

That man is something special and deserves great honor shown:



When the towers fell, when the towers fell,

And the hope of every American heart lay crumbled on the ground,

They may have taken brick away, with glass and metal spans,

But we still have our Courage, Faith, our love, and praying Hands.



We woke up on that morning, just like another day,

Some started school, some work, some home, and some had time to play,

But somewhere close to nine o’clock, we lost our innocence,

When wicked men with plans of death killed thousands without sense.



We reached for hope, we shed our tears, we launched our troops with nerve,

And though we were attacked with hate, our justice soon was served,

Some lost their precious loved ones then, in fires set from Hell,

Some gained their faith in Christ that day and now their stories tell.



So from this foolish- hateful mess, came courage, hope, and strength,

May God help us to not forget our life’s uncertain length.

Our country holds a special place from shore to nation’s shore,

We stand for Freedom, Faith, and Truth; we’re hated and adored.



When the towers fell, when the towers fell,

And the hope of every American heart lay crumbled on the ground,

They may have taken brick away, with glass and metal spans,

But we still have our Courage, Faith, our love, and praying hands.
