POLITICAL SALT

Adding spiritual salt to the meat of politics... in the pursuit of good government.

 

"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt,
so that you may know how you should respond to each person."

- Colossians 4:6

This "voice in the desert" is born out of a heart to see Arizona and our nation return to God. Along with friends who join with me to contribute experience and insight in the pursuit of good government, we will address many of the difficult political issues of the day. Through November 7, this will also serve as a blog for "SIEGE I" and "SIEGE II" times of prayer and fasting for good government, restoration and revival for our state and nation.

Life or Death

Many denounce political speech as useless talk. But the communication of political ideas and the execution of politics in government effect cities, states, and nations. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Nations may go to war, they may establish righteous or unrighteous laws, they may honor or dishonor God, due to the words political leaders choose.

God says, "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him." -- Deuteronomy 31:19-20

In America, where we have a choice, it is our profound responsibility to choose political leaders who will choose life.
