I suppose that most of us are on pins and needles about Tuesday's elections, and I want to encourage every one of you, however inconvenient it may be, to vote. In an audience this size there are undoubtedly supporters for every one of the presidential candidates, and I would never tell you how to vote. I would encourage you to study the records of the candidates as it relates to the great moral and spiritual issues of our day and to pray about it. But whatever your political affiliation, we need for Christians in America to vote. One of the remarkable things about this election is that it is occurring at time of unprecedented prosperity in our nation.
More people have money invested in the stock market than at any other time in history.
Recently the stock market has been swinging back and forth by hundreds of points from day to day, and many people become nervous about their investment and their net worth. Many people subscribe to Money Magazine, or to one of the other periodicals that gives financial advice. If you have mutual funds or equity investments, you get regular reports telling you how your stocks are doing. Well, the Bible also has a special section telling us about our spiritual investments, about our spiritual wealth, and about our assets and riches in Christ. And that section is called the book of Ephesians.
