Choosing the Lesser of Two Evils?
Truth Observed: Dr. Del Tackett
Another installment from Dr. Tackett. This one a response to some comments. The main comment is;
“selecting the lesser of two evils just gives you evil”
The whole response is worth a read. Here are the main points:
Dr. Webster based much of his statements about voting on this scripture, “He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.” 2 Sam 23:3 (NKJ)
In regard to the above comment he says this:
this is a recipe for eternal inactivity, for there are deep faults present in every human creature.
Instead, the command lays out a standard for us to pursue: just men who will rule in the fear of God. Our responsibility is to determine which of those before us will best do this. If you do not think either is very good, then do your homework, vote for the best, and then get busy to train and raise up the kind of men that will eventually give you a better choice. We have neglected this vital “preparation” part of our responsibility and somehow have thought that it is someone else’s job to magically make this happen.
This has been my main argument for years. People don’t get involved until a week before the election when you are left with the choices someone else has made. If you don’t vote you have no business complaining about the state of government. If you wait until a week before the election to get “involved” you have no business complaining about the candidates on the ballot.
Thanks for the post Dr. Tackett.
