WE THE PEOPLE !!!
By Pastor Peter Rahme
 
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1:3-5)
 

Values are ever before us and always present around us; from the moment we enter this world, the values of our parents and guardians are waiting to meet us and greet us

 

 Growing up, we are confronted and often conformed by the values of our communities and societies:

  • In school, our thinking is structured and shaped by the values of our teachers and educators.
  • In Church we are taught eternal values and trained to live by them by our pastors and spiritual leaders.

From birth to death, values, of some kind, under gird all the different stages of the story of our lives.  Consciously or unconsciously, values are exercised and expressed from the seed of our conception to the seat of our conscience.  Whether dressed as life principles or tagged as ideal living; whether labeled as strategies for life or marked by whatever the buzzword at that time, they are really values.

 

Every body has values; even hardened criminals; cold-blooded murderers, professional thieves and drug dealers have their own sets of values. We display our values by the choices each one of us make from the moment we wake up, how we spend the day until we go to sleep.  Our lives are based and built upon values. We are also being designed and driven by values.  

 

In the run up to the August 21, Federal election, It is imperative that we closely examine the values of political parties and see which one  ticks all the boxes in relation  to the values that we consider dear to our heart and carry deep in our soul- i.e. Christian values which are founded on and formed by God’s eternal truth and will stand the test of time and succeed over the trials of life.

 
The attached Christian Values Checklist & the Supporting Statements (Short & Long) clearly show  that the values of the Labor Party and the Greens are inconsistent with Biblical teaching , therefore NOT TRUSTWORTHY.  PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR VOTE THIS COMING ELECTION  .

 For the Christian, the government is a sacred God-ordained institution with a God-given set of instructions to:

  1. promote justice;
  2. provide freedom;
  3. protect order;
  4. punish evil; and
  5. praise (what’s) good.
While good governments will conform and relate to Biblical principles, bad ones will control and / or remove Biblical institutions. A good government will, therefore, serve its citizens with justice, freedom and order, but a bad  one  will subject them to control, corruption and political correctness.

 

Our sunburnt country is wounded and weeping. If you look into her teary eyes you’ll see a grieving soul. The political corruption; the never ending violence; the drug war; the family break ups the relationships break down; the moral decay; etc.and in the words of the late Sir Winston Churchill : "We have progressed scientifically and materially, but we have lagged far behind morally, and now our problems have gone beyond us."

 

No one is  of course suggesting that a government has the solutions to all the evil in our land. It would be silly and naïve to do so. Governments are elected to govern. However, some governments do not consider,  for instance,  abortion,  blasphemy, corruption, drugs, euthanasia, (just to name a few )  as immoral, wrong and / or evil. And in a democracy like ours,  a democratically elected government will  naturally  enforce its party values on the whole nation , whether these values  are PRO or ANTI abortion,  blasphemy, corruption, drugs, euthanasia, etc..  Once elected  by the people , the winning party is placed in that privileged position of leadership, authority and power .Once  given the charge to govern for a 3 or a 4 year term, they take control.

 

But who put them there? We , the people, did!

And who can get them out and replace them with another? We , the people, do!

How?  when we , the people, vote.

 

You see how your vote, at the next federal (and state) election  is extremely valuable. You can positively impact our Australian family and permanently safeguard the values of our Christian Heritage.

  • Don’t throw it away by not voting!
  • Don’t waste it on party politics!
  • Don’t sell it for a pot of lentils!
  • Don’t trade it for a fistful of dollars!

And if you think your ONE vote does not matter,Well think again . On 18 January 1961, in Zanzibar, (Now part of Tanzania) Afro-Shirazi Party won by a single seat of the seat of Chake-Chake on Pemba Island had been gained by a single vote..(Source -Political world record)

IN CLOSING
Your vote at the polling booth is your voice at the Parliament house.  Make sure that it is heard loud and clear in the political corridors of power.  Consider prayerfully and choose wisely whom you entrust the value of your vote to.
 

Our children and grandchildren deserve the best that we can offer them, and our Christian values are the best there is on offer. You cannot improve on God’s model. One day they will appreciate your vision and values and applaud the courage of your convictions. One day they will think of your life and legacy and thank God for your labour of love.

And as the Rev Fred Nile MLC, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, said "we face the most critical Federal Election in Australia's history on Saturday 21 August 2010.Every Australian voter faces a clear choice for the Federal Election of the House of Representatives - an atheistic ALP Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who is a founding member of the pro-abortion Emily's List and is a socialist left-wing supporter of the Fabian Society.Or the alternative Prime Minister, Tony Abbott who is strongly committed to the Christian faith, Judeo-Christian moral values and our Commonwealth Constitution as are our CDP House of Representative Candidates.Every voter also faces a clear choice for the Federal Senate, between our CDP Senate Team led by Mayor Paul Green, who will courageously stand up for our Aussie Christian Family Values and for one law for all Australians - no Sharia law!Or the radical anti-Christian, pagan, Green Party Senate Candidates led by Lee Rhiannon a former member of the Stalinist Socialist Party, who actively campaigned in the Upper House for same-sex "marriage", marijuana, x-rated videos, abortion, euthanasia, etc.Your vote is urgently needed, so we can ensure the election of Paul Green and defeat the Watermelon (green - outside but "RED" - inside) Green Political Party."

 

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

(1 Timothy1: 17) 

Blessing and honor and glory and power, be unto him, that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever (Revelation  5:13b)

 

 

With the love of Christ

Peter
