Verse of the Day - Vote!
Romans 13:1-14
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
Even as messed up as the government is, it is still an institution God had put in place for our good. Like everything else, it was corrupted by sin and has degraded, but God is a master at using weak sinful things to work wonders. So I'm on my way to vote, and there will be no separation of church and state today. I'm voting my beliefs and God standards...as much as they can be found in politics anyhow :)
