Election Duty

In light of the recent elections here in the United States please take a moment to read and consider this passage from 1 Timothy 2:1-8...
Clicky here to find the passage.
Our responsibility can not be made more clear, let us not neglect it.

Here's a couple other thoughts to consider...
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage." - Authorship is unverifiable, but often attributed to Sir Alex Fraser Tytler (1714-1778)

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." -- John Quincy Adams
