Picking a Presidential Candidate

America

As you’ve probably already noticed, there are quite a few candidates in the running for the Republican nomiation of President. How do you decide which is the best one in a group of great conservatives?

I’ve come up with an easy way to sort out all of the issues discussed by the huge number of Republican Presidential Candiates. You can create a chart of your own, or download the one I’ve created. Click here for a sample, and here for a blank chart.

Basically, you need a list of the candiates, and a list of the issues most important to you. When you’ve got this, you can listen to the news, surf the internet, watch debates, and listen to interviews to find out where the candidates stand on the issues. When you’ve narrowed your choices, do further research into their past, such as speeches, writings, and voting records. And by all means, call their campaign headquarters with your questions.

It won’t take long with this exercise to determine who your candidate is.

I suggest keeping up with this chart until it’s time to vote in the Primary election. This is SO important. The Primary election determines who will run against Barack Obama.

I agree with a friend of mine who says that “our main criteria for Presidential nominee is that he or she should be a Christian.” And that doesn’t mean a Sunday-go-to-meeting-Christian, but a Chrisitan we will know by his fruits. You know the type. : ) You’ll probably recognize them as the underdog.

There's more than one way to get an education! Today I'm sharing a roundup of some out-of-the-ordinary homeschooling styles: Instead of thinking it’s “not for us,” Christian parents should be thinking “a secular education is not for us.” Geography and history go hand in hand. I never separate the two. And Mystery of History already has map work integrated into every lesson. I get a lot of pushback for saying that public education is not appropriate for Christians. “Homeschooling isn’t even in the Bible,” I’m told. No, the words are not there, but the principle definitely is. "Don’t let the world raise your children. Be intentional and fill their hearts and minds with the Word of God." -Nancy Leigh DeMoss I live in a very rural county in Texas. You know, the red-state Bible belt? And I get firsthand accounts from the parents and kids in my town, my church, and my neighborhood that would shock you. Smartphone videos that children pass around on the school bus. Foul language in kindergarten. Sexual escapades that happen at school and are discussed with all ages. Trans kids of every age. Bullying that scars children for life. And in case you hadn’t heard, the war on drugs was lost. Kids are still using them, selling them, and becoming addicted to them. I’m just gonna say it: sending kids off to school for the majority of their childhood is not normal, or biblical. Mamas feel that separation pain because we were created to raise, nurture, and mentor our own children. That task is not designed for strangers or government agents. I recently saw a new homeschool mom post in a forum that she had found a stack of books at the dollar store about Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. She was excited because these would meet the "good citizenship" requirement for homeschooling in Texas. The overturning of Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court level has brought up many interesting conversations. And let me tell you, if you have kids who are old enough to understand it, they are old enough to be confronted by the discourse happening in our culture. Sadly, even Christian adults are easily swayed by their emotions, as well as some of the worst meme theology on the internet.
