Kerry had a very anti-family, anti-life, anti-morality voting record. If you look at the facts, he is a pure hypocrite in dire need of serious change. America needs leaders of serious integrity. Brutal honesty...people who stand up for what they believe. If you look at his voting record--he was unsure, often jumping between left and right. This is not "soundness"--what confidence and integrity we are hoping for in a leader.
To make a change, I feel, we need to have more people giving generously to those in need--whether locally or abroad. Instead of trying to give through the democrat (giving) party, I think we should give, sincerely, out of our own pockets, to such organizations as world vision, second harvest etc. (other charity orginazations) God said to give 10% that would mean 100 dollers out of ever 1000 ... etc. I don't like thinking that my giving goes through the government. It should come wholeheartedly from within. On a regular basis, of our own free will.
God says, in Malachi 3:8 and following:
"Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me!
"But you ask, "What do you mean, when did we ever cheat you???"
"You have cheated me out of your tithes and offerings due to me."
You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me..
THIS IS THE ONLY scripture with such a huge promise:
(i.e. such as "try Me and test Me in this..."
and that's where the whole "money making scheme with God" comes into play:
verse 10
"Bring all the tithes and offerings into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the Lord Almighty, "I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you! (only time in Scripture that God says this) "Your crops will be abundent, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not shrivel before they are ripe." says the Lord ."
