God is the only One who can save this country. Almost every day my husband and I remind each other that it is up to God whether He gives us another day, and another day of freedom. Because God is the Lord of life.

But that doesn’t mean that if I get mangled in a lawn mower I’m going to stay home and trust that God will make everything better. God gave me a brain and He gave me doctors. Who am I to tell Him that He has to heal me through a miracle instead of healing me through a doctor?

Reminds me of the illustration about a guy whose house was flooded. He climbed on the roof and prayed that God would save him. Soon a helicopter came along and put down a rope for him to grab so he could be brought into the helicopter and rescued. The man said, “No thanks. God is going to save me.” The man eventually drowned and when he got to Heaven he asked God why He didn’t save him. God said, “Well, I sent you a helicopter, and you wouldn’t come.”

You could adapt that story and say that the pilot of the helicopter was pro-gay, so the man on the roof refused the help because he was too holy to believe that God would use a flawed pilot to rescue him...

Exactly, God is the only one who can save our country. But what happened when the people demanded a king (man) like the world had; to replace God? Most of Israel's kings did not follow God's laws (Romney & Obama) and God punished Israel. If we stand with someone we know is evil, we will be held accountable. All people are imperfect, but some are so wicked that we can't help them further evil.
