As Election Day Approaches

I read these quotes in the October issue of Think Magazine. I thought I would post them here for your consideration and to hear your observations.

James Garfield—20th President--“Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these qualities to represent them in the national legislature.”

Elias Boudinot, President of the Continental Congress--“If the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow. These considerations should lead us to be religiously careful in our choice of all public officers and judge of the tree by its fruits.”

As you vote, I urge you to implore God to grant you wisdom and a blessing upon this momentous day.

Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
