Our Footsteps: John and Sarah - Will They Take Pennsylvania?

John and Sarah - Will They Take Pennsylvania?

Last night I was encouraged. I realized why I think John McCain and Sarah Palin will win Pennsylvania on November 4th (and hopefully enough other states to win the election). I took my family to a Sarah Palin victory rally in a nearby town. Small town America for sure. In a Western Pennsylvania town where high school football is almost a religion and hard-working blue collar workers make up the entire economy (you know, the ones that Obama says cling to their guns and religion, and Murtha says are racist and rednecks... those people). This town rich in tradition of football and hard work, is usually a stronghold of democrats. I might be wrong, but I noticed something odd about this place during our visit last night. There were McCain campaign signs everywhere. It was overwhelming. The neighborhoods and main part of town was literally plastered with support for the conservative cause.

Then, when Sarah spoke, she connected with the crowd. This was no small crowd of supporters. The stadium where she spoke (and where Joe Namath played football) was filled to the brim with well-mannered, orderly people who knew we can't afford to have an empty suit in the White House. Governor Palin then made it clear why she resonates with regular Americans: spreading the wealth around is not for these hard-working Pennsylvanians... who, like Joe the Plumber, know how to distribute their own money better than their government officials. The other point that makes Sarah Palin so attractive to voters is the fact that she desires to have equal rights for all women, including the pre-born women. She will be a strong advocate for life, a stark contrast from her opponents in the liberal party that have no heart for the unborn.

Judging by the response of the people and by seeing this former democratic area transformed, the Republicans have a chance in Pennsylvania. Let's pray. For the sake of preserving our republic and for the sake of our precious pre-born babies, lets pray for God to be pleased to let McCain and Palin lead our nation.

I Believe...

1). I believe that there is one God. I believe God consists of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2). I believe that God is holy, righteous, loving, and just.
3). I believe that mankind is separated from God by sin; that sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin.
4). I believe that, because of sin, man is condemned. Because of God’s utter hatred for sin, there is an eternal conscious punishment in hell for all those who do not come to God on His terms, dealing with their sin.
5). I believe that confessing our sins and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way to properly deal with the sin that has infected everyone. Jesus Christ paid our sin debt on the cross; reconciliation by substitution. There is nothing we can do to add to the finished work of Christ.
6). I believe in the security of the believer, that once he is truly born-again, there is nothing that would cause him to lose his salvation.
7). I believe that upon the death of a true believer in Christ, that he is ushered immediately into the presence of the Lord, where he will live in everlasting joy in Heaven, experiencing eternal fellowship with God.
8). I believe in believer’s baptism by immersion. I don’t believe baptism is necessary for salvation, but it is a beautiful outward profession of an inward possession.
9). I believe in a literal 6-day creation where God created the heavens and the earth and then rested on the seventh day.
10). I believe that the words written in the Bible are truth. I believe that the Bible is inerrant in its parts and in its whole. I believe that the 66 books that make up the canon of scripture make the Bible complete and that God inspired the words written therein. The things that were written down in the Bible are sufficient for every need we have. Not only is God’s Word sufficient, but it is far superior to any other method of handling the problems that man faces, since He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness.
