AMERICA’S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Americans must decide, and the issues that are important to Bible believers, must be carefully evaluated. It has been our past history to observe candidates who say one thing in order to get elected, but who practice something else once they are elected. There are ramifications of each issue, of course, but these positions are what the candidates themselves have declared.
