2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my folks, who’re known as by my identify, will humble themselves and pray and search my face and switch from their depraved methods, then I’ll hear from heaven, and I’ll forgive their sin and can heal their land.”
The presidential election is simply days away. It’s estimated that there are round 210 million Christians on this nation. With out query, Christians maintain the ability to resolve the results of this election and chart our nation’s future. Tragically, it’s believed that as many as 32 million Christians is not going to be voting.
Our nation is tormented by immorality, corruption, and sin. Christians have sat idly by for years as our nation turned its again on the Biblical worldview that based this nation’s ethic. Now we’re confronted with a dichotomy, both Donald Trump or Kamala Harris would be the subsequent president of america. As Christians, we get to resolve which candidate greatest aligns with the best attainable good.
Evaluating the respective information, the reply is evident as day. Whereas Donald Trump is an imperfect sinner in want of the grace of God, as are you and I, he’s by far one of the best attainable good for our nation.
Lets take a look at his file because the forty fifth president of america. Trump has confirmed to be a steadfast defender of the Christian worldview. As president, he had the consideration of appointing three Supreme Courtroom Justices to the bench and whereas he might have picked anybody, he picked originalist Christians. These three would later play a pivotal function in securing among the biggest wins for Christianity in current reminiscence.
- Kennedy v. Bremerton. Coach Kennedy was fired from his job as a highschool soccer coach for praying on the 50-yard line. Kennedy sued for a violation of the first Modification and gained. The court docket’s resolution on this case ended the Lemon take a look at, which was used to discriminate in opposition to Christians for many years.
- Dobbs v. Jackson. Overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed for pro-life states to enact frequent sense protections for probably the most harmless and weak of God’s kids, these within the womb.
- Groff v. DeJoy. The Courtroom dominated that People shouldn’t be pressured to select between their occupation and their religion. This protected Christians who need to uphold the sabbath.
- Carson v. Makin. The Courtroom dominated Maine couldn’t discriminate in opposition to spiritual faculties for usually out there tuition help funds.
Donald Trump additionally has been an adamant defender of Christianity and customary sense in his proposed coverage. Donald Trump has:
- Vowed to hold males out of girls’s sports activities.
- Vowed to STOP genital mutilation surgical procedure for minors.
- Vowed to advertise a constructive schooling of the nuclear household and Biblical gender roles.
- Promised his Training Division would impose “extreme penalties” on any academics or college officers who “counsel to a toddler that they may very well be trapped within the unsuitable physique.”
Trump has publicly declared, “They need to tear down crosses the place they will, and canopy them up with social justice flags, however nobody will likely be touching the cross of Christ beneath the Trump administration, I swear to you.”
One other assertion from Trump mentioned, “I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???”
He additionally mentioned, “The left is attempting to disgrace Christians… they’re attempting to disgrace us. I’m a really proud Christian.”
Following the assassination makes an attempt in opposition to him, gave credit score to God saying, “I stand earlier than you solely by the grace of Almighty God. Many individuals say it was a providential second. It most likely was.”
The importance of a president that may publicly say such issues can’t be overstated.
Whereas it’s not disputed that Trump is a sinful man, God has an extended historical past of utilizing flawed and sinful males. Acts 13:22 says, “After eradicating Saul, he made David their king. He testified regarding him: ‘I’ve discovered David son of Jesse a person after my very own coronary heart; he’ll do every thing I would like him to do.’” Trump is not any David, however the level stands that if a murdering adulterer like David can be utilized as a frontrunner, so can somebody like Trump.
Trump may very well be higher, so might you. Sadly nevertheless, if Trump doesn’t win Kamala Harris will. Her file speaks for itself. She is an unapologetic enemy of the Christian religion.
Throughout her time as vice-president and candidate for president Kamala Harris has:
- Dishonored Easter by declaring it the “nationwide day of trans visibility.”
- Run on a platform of “reproductive freedom” aka her radical assist for unrestricted all trimesters abortion. She has repeatedly refused to stipulate ANY restrictions on abortion that she would assist. Her working mate Tim Walz signed laws as governor that allowed abortion till beginning in Minnesota.
- Been an avid supporter of transgenderism and considered one of her first appearances upon changing into the presumptive Democratic nominee was on the RuPaul Drag present.
- Defended transition surgical procedure for minors and pornographic hyper sexualized content material in public faculties, as proven by ravenous opposition to laws that may defend kids in Florida.
- The Harris-Biden administration proudly hosted a “pleasure month celebration” on the south garden of the White Home the place transgender activists had been invited from across the nation, considered one of which famously walked round topless within the presence of kids.
- The Biden DOJ and FBI have targeted believers and particularly Catholics as “potential terrorists.”
- Lately at a Kamala Harris marketing campaign occasion somebody within the viewers shouted “Christ is Lord.” In response Kamala publicly humiliated them and advised them that they had been on the unsuitable rally.
Evaluating the lives of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris exhibits what each Christian ought to already know, they’re each flawed sinners in want of God’s grace. Until Christ our savior descends from heaven and runs for workplace, this will likely be true of each election. It’s a Christian’s obligation to be good stewards of what God has given us, together with our proper to vote.
Some Christians will refuse to vote claiming they won’t vote for the, “lesser of two evils.” Nonetheless, this pondering is flawed. To refuse to vote for the so-called lesser of two evils mandates that the Christian withdraw from politics totally as each vote forged is for somebody who’s a sinner. As a substitute of this flawed pondering, we should always pursue the best attainable good.
We’re confronted with a political dichotomy. Both Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will develop into our subsequent president. It’s as much as us to resolve which candidate is greatest for our households, church buildings, neighbors, and neighborhood members. The outcomes of this election will impression American’s skills to pay for his or her groceries, keep away from international wars, and worship freely.
Christians that don’t vote for the best attainable good are complicit within the evil that Kamala Harris would enact. Not making a selection is inherently a selection. If 32 million Christians refuse to vote and Kamala Harris wins by just a few hundred 1000’s votes it is going to be Christians responsible for each abortion, each transgender surgical procedure on a minor, each household struggling financially, and each assault on Christianity attributable to a Kamala presidency.
