The first round of blogs are posted over at\u00a0PlantingSpace.com.\u00a0For this\u00a0first blog, we were supposed to answer the question: “Does the Presidential Election Matter?” Please go vote for me!!! (Or someone you think has a better answer.)\u00a0Here was my submission:<\/p>\n
When Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election, I thought the Tribulation was upon us. Now, in 2008, I realize I tagged the wrong Clinton as the Antichrist…<\/p>\n
No, I’m only joking. I like Hillary. I don’t believe I will vote for her if she wins the Democratic nomination, but I think she raises some good questions that must be answered. And so do Obama and McCain.<\/p>\n
But who will be best for America and the world? Personally, I don\u2019t think it really matters. Oh sure, it matters politically, economically, socially, militarily, and in a whole host of other ways. But in the one area that matters most, the presidential election doesn’t matter. And what area is that? The Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n
All Christians want political leaders who uphold Christian values. But if history is any guide, countries with leaders who are antagonistic to Christianity are actually more fertile places for the advancement of the kingdom than countries with pro-Christian leadership.<\/p>\n
While the Kingdom of God will advance no matter who wins, it may advance better under someone who is against Christian morals than under someone who is for them. Maybe I’ll vote for Hillary after all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
