Scriptural Principles That Determine My Political Views – October 3, 2016

10/03/2016

In my previous blog about my politics, I went on record as saying that I hold certain convictions that are based on the Bible, which I believe to be the word of God, and that I will vote in ways that are consistent with those convictions. I said that I will address how that applies to supporting political candidates and parties, and I will. But first things first. I need to quote some relevant Scriptures at this point. Some may…

The website asked for those with information to contact them, so I did. I have yet to receive a reply, but since this has to do with my family history, I’m going to post here on my website the same information I sent them. Hello, my name is Larry Gene Overton. I was searching today to see if anything…
