Fellow Christians, we have a crisis we seem unable to recognize every election cycle. Many registered Christians sit out of elections year after year with the claim that the candidate their fellow Republicans selected in the primary is not a sufficient enough Christian to be of service to our nation and to represent their values. (And yet they never run themselves.) This is frustrating because their boycott hands the other side, which is far less Christian, the vote. Our country has suffered too much under this mindset as ANY election that had included these boycotters’ votes would be won by the Christian majority.
Let’s look at it from another point of view.
Did Christ choose perfect men as His apostles to carry His word?
Was Saul just such a great guy at slaughtering Christians that Christ said, “Gotta have that guy on my team?”
There has been but one perfect man on this earth and his name was Jesus. All other men fall short, and even the best people of the Bible were flawed. God is used to using flawed men to build his kingdom. And He can make any person a better person.
Many who only read the headlines criticize Trump’s influence on the abortion issue, saying he’s abandoned Christian values. If they were to look deeper, they would find his influence caused Planned Parenthood to withdraw from a program (Title X) that was providing them with millions in grants. That was their decision based on the guidelines Trump set forth in the program that they felt they could not adhere to, and countless lives were no doubt saved by the slaughter of abortion. His second influence was the appointment of judges whose decision threw the abortion issue back to the states to decide, effectively ending the federal government’s involvement in deciding when or if an abortion could be performed. This is what our federal republic is all about – allowing states to decide issues rather than having a federal government always dictate those decisions – it left it up to voters of each state, and for some states, it put a complete halt to abortions.
Trump also managed to get the Abraham Accords in place to end wars in the Middle East and bring peace to the region. Biden destroyed this, but it can be fixed. In addition, Trump moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to recognize that city’s significance in the lives of Christians and Jews alike.
Trump has also provided a lot of Christian charity to people in the 30-plus years I’ve followed him. He does it quietly and frequently, often when other leaders are not even reaching out to those in need.
If you think you’re a better Christian than Donald Trump, you miss the entire point of Christianity and our need for God’s grace and salvation. Look at the other side of the aisle. Ask yourself if they better represent the principles of the Christian faith. Then pray and go to the polls.
In my opinion, God voted in July. Now it’s your turn. May God bless our country whoever its leader is and forgive us our sins.
