Information gathered from here.

The press has been calling the frontrunners in the race for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.

How many times have you heard the names “Romney” and “Perry” as the front-runners? Looking at the colors- something does not seem correct.

If you follow the press, you started hearing “Cain” as the new front-runner around the beginning of October, but the truth was for 3 weeks he was tied with another candidate.

Now he has lost the tie and is falling behind… but to whom? Why is liberal and conservative media leaving this person out of their daily broadcasts?

Don’t allow the media to steal your confidence. There is a reason why and it is because this person is a threat to both sides. The liberal agenda is to force society to accept immorality and the conservative agenda wants to force everyone to accept their standards. The key word in both is force. In both instances, you are legislating morality.

Our founding fathers knew that the best way to have a free society was to allow men to use the free will that God gave them. They knew that once you started making laws that restricted this freedom, both sides would suffer.

We have become a society that wants our information to come easy, and preferably all condensed and given to us without effort. The media is betting this entire election on that very fact. If they declare their 2 favorites over and over again, who are we to question the professionals?

We send our children to public schools, where our children are treated more like computers for us to program rather than students to teach learning skills, challenging them to excel. We go to church, or watch a tele-evangelist and believe everything the minister says, never to investigate the Bible. We choose a team, democrat, or republican, and accept everything our team says without question.

Based on the list above, here are the results.

Ron Paul- 14

Herman Cain- 13

Mitt Romney- 4

Rick Santorum- 2

Mitch Daniels, Fred Karger, Mike Huckabee, Hailey Barbour, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry- 1 each

Even though he is a liberal, Jon Stewart put together this informative, yet funny, segment highlighting how Ron Paul has been purposefully ignored.

Guest Blogger

I have had the priviladge of working with an amazing team at Elim Gospel Church.

Currently we are going through a sermon series called "Radical", and a number of people in our church have been asked to be a guest blogger on P. Josh Finleys Blog.

I was asked to be one of the guest bloggers, and it was postesd today. Check it out!

It's Your Decision- You Need to Make it.

Reading about the latest Gallup Pole makes me ask the question "What do we consider when we cast our vote?"

If you look at the chart, you can see that most people vote along party lines. They are more worried about who has control and less about the character of who they are voting for. I have personally done the same thing. I was so concerned with what may happen that I ignored what has happened.

We live in the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world, and we have watched it go down the toilet, because of the decisions of the republican and democratic parties. We have ignored the Constitution, the purpose for it and have chipped away at the foundation of this country that made it so great.

Now before you judge me as as one of those Constitutional nuts let me first say that the greatest foundation any one person can have is a relationship with Jesus Christ. I also believe that that relationship is grown strong by reading the Bible and reflecting a lifestyle that is found within its pages. When we read the Constitution, we can see the inspiration that the Bible gave it.

What I am concerned with is what our politicians have done to pull the people away from the Constitution. They play games with our emotions, point fingers at each other and do everything they can to stay in power.

The Bible commands us to follow the laws of the land as long as our leaders are not leading us into sin. The problem is we have elected so many people that have created so many laws that it is impossible for us to know them all. We do need to find a way to simplify this system to exercise our free will as God intended.

It is time for us to look at all of the candidates as we enter another election cycle and look at why they each believe the way they do. I think you may find that even though some of their beliefs are controversial, they actually reduce burden off of society and place the burden of responsibility back on the one who needs to make the decision... the individual.

God gave us a free will to make any decision we want, because He wants us to use our free will to love and follow Him. When we legislate morality it produces hard hearts. Hard hearts promote rebellion, rebellion leads to chaos, which causes our legislature to create new laws to start the cycle all over again.

Here is your challenge- look at all of the candidates, their past, their legislative decisions and the reasons why they made them. Don't depend on the mainstream media, talk radio or the opinion pages, make a decision for yourself.
