FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
John Stephenson
for U.S. Senator for
Platform
Issues
Shortly, I
will be posting on our developing websites, my position statements with regard
to several pressing issues confronting our nation and the citizens of
Abortion and Our Moral
Compass:
Our nation and our
Commonwealth will continue to be “plagued with ills” unless we first stop the
atrocity of abortion and the infanticide that occurs daily, permitted “by
law”. Historically, nations that walked
away from God and behaved godlessly would soon discover that God would remove
Himself from that nation. Is that fact any different today? No. How can God
bless a nation who is behaving in ways that are against His will? Not only will
God not bless the nation, He cannot bless a nation who blatantly commits
such heinous crimes. In fact, according to Deuteronomy 28, God makes it very
clear that if a nation keeps God’s commands, God in turn will bless that
nation. Deut. 28: 1-3 says, “...if you
will diligently obey the Lord your God being careful to do all His
commandments...the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the
earth..Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the
country.” In turn, if a nation disobeys God commands, “...if you will not obey the Lord your God,
observe His commandments… all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you…”
vs. 15-68. There are fifty three verses of consequences for being out of God’s
will. I would encourage everyone to read the entire chapter of Deuteronomy 28.
These are not my words, these are God’s words and whether our nation wants to
believe in God or not, or “choose” to believe in His commands or not, does not
change the truth that God is and He does. We will not be a great nation again
unless God is at the helm again.
Consider the circumstances
of our nation today. Not one politician or political party can singularly be
blamed for the current condition of our nation. Our nation “collectively” is
responsible. Every citizen who “chooses” not to believe God and His commands is
responsible. Tragically, abortion has been made law, but by man, a law that
completely contradicts the law of God, “You
shall not murder”. Deut. 5:17. As a nation, we must recognize abortion for
what it is, the murder of innocent lives. The framers of our Constitution were
more in touch with the will God then this nation as a whole is today. Many
God-fearing groups continue to fight vigorously against a current that cannot
be stopped, unless we turn this nation around and seek God’s face. The fact
that centuries have come and gone since we have became “one nation under God”
does not remove the reality that God does not change, nor His will. God will bless our nation again. He can bring
healing and will bring “healing” to our land IF we seek His face and
stop the atrocities of abortion. God can and He will use elected officials to
bring real solutions, not perpetual sound bytes, not fruitless efforts and not
disharmony among the political parties. Our nation, our citizens must begin to
see this, and NOW.
Approximately 250,000
people die each day in the world. According to Right to Life statistics, “over
4,000 of those deaths are by abortion. That is one and half million people each
year in the
It has become abundantly
clear that the very fabric of our moral system has been slowly and deliberately
excised from our schools, text books, and government facilities while we, the
citizens, have stood, by since the mid-1970’s, and watched a rebellious
minority bring our democracy into this destructive state and condition, completely
out of God’s will. We, the majority of our citizens, can be compared to a frog
that has been slowly cooked. It has been told that if one places a frog in
boiling water it will naturally jump out. However, if a frog is placed in cool
water and the water is gradually heated to boiling, the frog will sit there
until he is “cooked”. I am telling you, that God is telling me, and many other
Christians, that we must reach the hearts of our fellow citizens and our
government leaders and demand that they obey God’s laws.
Our children and
grandchildren are bombarded with pornography, filth and degradation under the
protection of “free speech”. At the same time we have witnessed prayer being
removed from our schools, the Ten Commandments and the Christian history of our
nation being challenged. Some of the original evils that God warns us to be
aware of in our human nature are greed, envy, and covetousness. We have allowed
ourselves to be exploited to the point where our institutions of trust have
become untrustworthy.
If elected, I will work
with President Obama to establish regulations to protect consumers, safeguards
to our economy and provide “meaningful” accountability for our governmental
systems and institutions regulated by government. As a real estate broker of
thirty plus years and a former chairman of a teacher’s credit union, I can
bring expertise to the regulatory system. I have solicited no one for
contributions. Therefore, I can and will be the voice for the common man and
woman in our state. And I vow to be that voice for the unborn, the handicapped,
the senior citizen and those who have no means to fight the system except with
their vote, which I would cherish and respect.
