Only Imagine……
ONLY IMAGINE…………
Do you know the song “I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe? The song begins with, “I can only imagine what it will be like when…..” Today, I want to “only imagine” what it will be like to vote for a specific viewpoint. The candidates and their personalities, including flaws and good points, are not nearly as important this year as the worldview choices we are being given.
We truly do have a choice between a godly world viewpoint and an ungodly, humanistic world viewpoint that will radically change this country, no matter the choice we make. One is a choice for life and one is a choice for death. God instructs us as He did Israel “Choose life”.
The following is my list of “I can only imagine what it would be like…” based upon the choices before us today:
I can only imagine what it would be like:
- To live in a country that reverences and acknowledges God Almighty and His Word and thus provides religious freedom for all to worship as they want
- To live in a country whose citizens understand and respect the heritage of America,including our history, our founders and founding documents
- To live in a country that values and protects human life, ALL life from conception to the grave
- To live in a country that recognizes that the traditional family unit is the building block of every nation, including the biblical definitions of gender and sexuality
- To live in a country that respects and honors the Church and religious freedom in the public square
- To live in a country that honors and is a friend to the nation of Israel
- To live in a country that has a leader who works to keep and broker peace between all nations
- To live in a country that has a leader and government that does not bow to ungodly or un-American views or demands
- To live in a country whose leadership strengthens and fully supports the military and veterans
- To live in a country with a leader who supports ALL law enforcement and front-line workers by word and example
- To live in a country that provides education and school choice for all without ungodly indoctrination and philosophy
- To live in a country with leaders that stand against socialism / communism
- To live in a country with strong borders and strong immigration policies
- To live in a country with fewer government regulations
- To live in a country with lower taxes and the freedom for citizens decide how to spend their own money
- To live in a country that allows citizens to choose their own healthcare based upon their own needs at reasonable cost
- To live in a country that encourages capitalism, a free market system and job growth
- To live in a country that is pro-business, pro-growth and at the same time protects our natural resources
- To live in a country that allows us to keep the rights we have been granted by the Constitution without limit – freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, etc.
- To live in a country where everyone respects and honors our flag, our national anthem, and the pledge of allegiance
OR
I can only imagine what it would be like to:
- To live in a country that does not acknowledge God but rather supports an Equality Act, removing religious liberties and forcing churches and religious entities to violate their tenets of faith
- To live in a country that actively promotes abortion, not only in this country but worldwide and actively works to oppose any measure that would oppose abortion

- To live in a country that will actively promote socialistic and communistic values for America

- To live in a country that will work actively to limit or completely eliminate the Second Amendment which gives all citizens the right to bear and keep arms
- To live in a country that is for full open borders with no restrictions
- To live in a country that will give full support to the Paris Climate Agreement and “green” energy to the detriment of American businesses and our economy
- To live in a country that will actively promote and encourage Islam and Sharia law
- To live in a country that will work to fill the courts with judges who fully support Roe vs Wade and actively legislate from the bench
- To live in a country that has a fully socialized medical system
- To live in a country that substantially raises taxes on individuals AND businesses across all income groups
- To live in a country that does not honor or respect our founding fathers, our founding documents, our flag, our Constitution or our national anthem
- To live in a country that will look to the United Nations, China and Europe dictation what is right and proper for us
