Over the past few years I have really become fascinated by the political process in our country. Learning about the process and those involved has been enlightening at times and scary and disappointing at others. During my scripture study this week I came across the following scripture from Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. As I read about the candidates and issues this election cycle I can not help but think how apt this scripture is. I feel like everyone from the candidates to the media itself is trying to deceive me. So as I continue learning and trying to decide what to do with my vote this election cycle I can promise to do my best and let no man deceive me. I urge everyone to get involved in the political process and vote and be a knowledgeable voter. Here are a few articles about voting from the church that are both informative and enjoyable.
