Chapter 20: Myth—Politics Doesn’t Matter

Page 3

Can Abortionites and half of those who call themselves Christian

sacrifice godly morals for a feeding spot at the public trough? To put it another way, are those who call themselves Christian able to vote against God’s interests and in favor of their own or party’s interests with impunity? Here is a Bible clue that contrasts the issues of poverty and integrity.

“Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.” Proverbs 28:6

“It is better to be poor and honest than rich and crooked.”

Proverbs 28:6 NLT

“Better someone poor living an honest life than someone of devious ways however rich.” Proverbs 28:6 NJB

You can think of integrity as it applies to standing tall and firm for the word of God. Those who sincerely believe in the Word, have no problem standing on its truths in this limited earthly life. They understand that life

doesn’t end when we shed our earthly vessel, this human body.

Integrity 3 1: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: INCORRUPTIBILITY

2: an unimpaired condition: SOUNDNESS 3: the quality or state of being complete or undivided: COMPLETENESS. Synonyms see HONESTY

Before I continue, the Lord gave me a postscript to the last chapter.

The day after I finished writing it, I found myself in excruciating pain in the back of my left leg centered behind the knee. I took a five-mile walk the day before, yet I perceived no problems with my leg at that time. When I awoke the next morning, I felt no pain. Yet sometime in that afternoon, I found

myself engulfed in serious pain that had me limping on my left leg for two days. By the time it was all over, I experienced pain up and down my left leg from my angle to my buttocks. To this day, I have no clue as to what had happened to me. Somehow I just wracked my left leg.
