How should followers of Jesus Christ vote in the USA?

  How should followers of Jesus Christ vote in the USA? Christians that live in the USA have a unique privilege not found in any other pluralistic society on planet earth. We have true freedom of speech, particularly when it comes to matters of politics. When Christians vote how should we vote? Should we vote for a particular party? or Should we vote for a particular person? or Should we vote for particular ideas? If it’s a person then the question is can you really know who that person is? Maybe there is a track record of how they voted in the past. Maybe they were members of certain organizations. These are factors that should be considered to some degree. What about the character issue? This is a tough one. Why? Unless there is some kind of criminal record of laws being violated (even this can be suspect) or undeniable evidence (stained blue dress) we can’t really know a person unless we are their personal friends and family.

How does an Eskimo kill a wolf? 

The Eskimo coats his knife blade with blood and allows it to freeze there. Then the Eskimo adds another layer of blood, and then another. As each succeeding smear of blood freezes to the blade of the knife the Eskimo adds an additional coating until the blade is concealed by a substantial thickness of frozen blood. Then the knife handle is buried in the frozen ground with the blade up. The wolf follows his sensitive nose to the scent and tastes the fresh- frozen blood. . . . And licks it. . . . More and more vigorously the wolf licks at the bait until the keen edge is bare. Feverishly now, he licks harder. . . . In the cold night his great  craving becomes so great for blood that he does not notice the razor- sharp sting of the naked blade on his own tongue. Nor does he recognize the instant at which his insatiable thirst is being satisfied by his own warm blood. . . . “More!” his appetite craves, “more!” Until dawn finds him dead in the snow.

If you’re finding satisfaction in your sin, you’re licking the blade. Eventually, you will reach the razor- sharp edge and fail to recognize the danger. Sin always creates greater desire for itself, and it always leads to heartbreak. It could even lead to your death.

"He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time." - Hebrews 11:25

Satan knows there's pleasure in rebelling against God will. This world deceives people into indulging in any pleasure that makes us feel good in the moment. But without the truth and the light we are blind and believe the lies that keeps us in chains, prisoners heading for the death sentence.  

"For the wages of sin is death,".... However, Jesus has warned us about the blood coated knife, about the deceptiveness of sin, and provided a way out so that we can see the truth and be set free. All we have to do is choose...."but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23
