More Hot Air




This is a presidential year and last Monday the two major candidates, Hillary Clinton (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican), went at it in a debate viewed by millions of people all over the world.

Still people remain puzzled. Based on character alone, the choice is questionable. How could anybody vote for somebody whose character is deeply flawed?

Why would God allow a deeply flawed character to enter the race for the highest office in the land? The answer is simple. God wants to teach us that something good can come out of something bad.

The Bible is filled with stories about people whose character was flawed. Jacob stole his brother Esau's birthright? David committed adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrated the murder of her husband. Ultimately Jacob and David did a lot of good.

Sometimes presidential debates are just a lot of hot air without anything significant to say. And just think we have two more of these to go. I can't wait until the election is over. How about you? Are you tired of these debates?

So how should we vote in the upcoming election? How should we deal with the flawed character of our presidential candidates? Based on my own personal convictions (Rom. 13.:1) I would let my conscience be my guide.

Don't get hung up on the character of the candidates in the midst of all the bickering. Vote your conscience. Evaluate their plans and hope that America will be a better place to live.
