Readers,
NO need for comment. I am sure that the news will be covering this significant story as it unfolds in the coming days. Here are a few snippets of stories already circulating from major news sources -- liberal, conservative, and neutral. God, please help this country.
IMHO, this country is in peril. We need God's hand to help us all get through these times. And I would ask each of you to please begin praying now for whoever ends up being our president and vice-president. And to please use GREAT care in your choice for the next leader of this country.

But shouldn’t we hold our brother or sister accountable for their false belief and help correct it? 3. “And to please use GREAT care in your choice for the next leader of this country.” You said this after you quoted the article about Palin which leads some of your readers to believe you are being bias. It’s like saying hey you watch out Palin is in violation of ethics be careful not to vote for McCain b/c she’s v.p.. We should consider 3 things when voting - the candidate’s values *Pr. 14:34 (homosexual adoption, constitutional right to abortion, state constitutional amendments that protect traditional marriage, and the list goes on), character *1 Sam 16:7 (consistency between character and values, commitment, and Godly character refuses to compromise commitment to God), and competence *Josh 11:16-23 (can the candidate do what he/she said they would do, so they possess the necessary skills to get the job done). I know God has led me to vote for McCain-Palin.

THIS COMMENT IS IN 2 PARTS (didn't have enough room)
Ok so I was very careful to review both your articles on Palin and McCain vs. Obama. Your right there is not an exact point that you argue although I have found you are very careful to not take sides of either candidate. 3 things I would like to address.
1. You wrote "So, at the outset, let us not judge each other, argue with each other, or despise each other if we find a brother or sister who disagrees with us about the absolute, perfect, God-chosen candidate." I agree we should not argue, but here's the deal you also said 2. "It depends on how God is leading you. It’s not about how he is leading someone else." The truth is God is a God of consistency so He will not tell one person McCain and another Obama. So while we may not argue with someone about their decision it is so they themselves may be misled by Party Loyalty, Personal Connection, Public Charisma, or Private Prejudice.

RA: Good! :-) You vote that way and God Bless you. Others will feel God leading them to vote that way, too -- or not.
In the end, whoever wins, according to scripture, will be the authority ("King" if you will) that God chose:
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:20-23).
May God's candidate win! The Bible tells us that this will indeed take place. And in at least that, we can all rest.
R.A.
