My Thoughts on the Election part 4 of 5
Donald Trump is being smeared and discredited by the Clinton campaign with the help of the news media. I said in my earlier post that he is a less than perfect man.
The question is; is Donald Trump the man that God wants to use, in this country, for a time such as this?
It is my firm belief, as well as the belief of many prominent Christian Conservatives, that if we do not turn the tide of the so called “Progressive” agenda at this election, it may be too late to stop it in 4 or 8 years!
I understand that according to the Bible, the Christian Church will go through a time of great persecution in the last days. That doesn’t mean that we should just set on our hands and do nothing as we see that happening! We have a responsibility to fight the enemy every step of the way! After all, we are the body of Christ and have a commission to discern the will of God, and allow Him to use us to accomplish that will!
Here are some reasons why I’m concerned:
- The next President will appoint one to possibly four or more Supreme Court Justices. (They will interpret the laws either in light of the Constitution or disregard the Constitution and judge according to their own political bias.)
- The next President will appoint numerous Federal Court Judges. (Same as above.)
- The next President will appoint heads of numerous Federal Government Departments.
- The next Congress of the United States will pass laws that will affect the Church for better or worse.
- The next President, Supreme Court, Judges, leaders, and Congress will decide on concerns as detailed in part 2 of this article. Please go back and read them if you need to.
These appointees and elected officials will set the agenda for this country as well as the Christian Church, for decades into the future! Here are some of my concerns:
- Will Pastors be told, even more so, what they can and cannot say from the pulpit as per political correctness, with the threat of being charged with a “Hate Crime” regardless of what the Bible says?
- Will all Christians be told, even more so, what we can or cannot say, with the threat of being charged with a “Hate Crime” regardless of what the Bible says?
- Will business owners be told, even more so, how they can and cannot conduct their own private business, with the threat of being charged with a “Hate Crime” regardless of what the Bible says??
- Will we be told how, when and where we can worship? (Some of this has already started.) (Schools)
- Will the Church be forced underground to worship as the Bible dictates?
- Will our Second Amendment rights be taken from us? Contrary to what the left would have us believe, our right to bear arms was not so that we could go hunting. It was designed to make it more difficult for a tyrannical leader / regime to take the country over by force. It happens! Remember Germany?
- Will the next President make additional proclamations like the gender neutral restrooms? (I shiver to think of some of the things they could come up with.)
As I said above… I understand that according to the Bible, the Christian Church will go through a time of persecution in the last days. I also know and believe that God will see us through anything that the world and the enemy can throw at us.
I’m not writing all of this out of an attitude of fear, but out of an attitude of responsibility! I believe that we as the Church of Jesus Christ have an obligation to stand up for the Christian way of life and the values that made this country great!
Can we look past the flawed person of Donald Trump and vote for the conservative platform that he represents? I’m praying that this less than perfect man will be used for the Glory of God and for the welfare of those who have not yet come to know Christ!
PRAY! There is a lot hanging in the balance here!
