Well, the General election is , but they are from a Father coming up, so we have another 3weeks or so to the big day. Will Brown be outed? Will Cameron march into Downing Street? Or maybe Clegg have a say in an 'hung parliament?' Will it make any difference to you or I whoever wins?

We are blessed with democracy in this country, albeit with only two parties having any chance of winning. There are plenty of despots around the world, look at Robert Mugabe, his people have no say in how their country is run.

Somebody once said to me, "your God is a tyrant," I asked, "what do you mean?" I received a tirade of how God demands our obedience and if you don't, hell is your destnation. I can understand his thinking, flawed though it is. As believers God does make demands on our lives, that is clear, but these come from a Father who knows us and loves us and in whom we can trust. To the unbeliever God reaches out a hand of love and forgiveness through Christ with no strings attached. However there will come a judgement day.

In the General Election we choose who will serve us, but in Christianity we must choose who we serve
