Dear Fellow Believers,

First of all, take a deep breath.  The election will be over in a matter of weeks, and no matter who wins, God still wins.  So relax.  Trust.  Have faith that our Father is the provider of ALL our needs, not the US government.

Secondly, please think twice before you forward those political emails.  Very rarely do these emails contain absolute facts; they are filled with passionate propaganda at best, and outright lies at worst.  If you are spreading around half truths or rumors or things that agree with your world view that are not 100% facts, well, the Bible has couple of words for that:

1.  Slander.

2.  Bearing false witness.

Both of these are sins. 

Sins, people.  So vote for whoever you want to vote for.  Campaign for whoever you want to campaign for.  But do not sin in the process.  The end most definitely does not justify the means.  No matter how justified or right you feel in forwarding on propaganda, resist it.  You are playing a part in slander and bearing false witness against your neighbor, and God does not approve.  It's a very ugly situation when the Believers feel they have to stoop to the ways of the world to put the "RIGHT" things forward.  Righteousness does not require sinning in order to stand.  You may be thinking, "all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing."  But good people do not spread lies.  Good people do not sin.  And forwarding an email full of propaganda is right next to doing nothing anyway. 

But as always, He is longsuffering and patient and forgiving. 

So... take a deep breath.  Jesus is our leader, not an elected official.  And ALL things work together for good for those who trust in Jesus. 

But stop sinning by spreading lies about the guy or gal you don't like.
