We elect a Commander in Chief, not a pastor in Chief, not a Bishop, not a Pope.
We elect people to be in charge of our secular government.
We also face a binary choice in elections. Are some critics suggesting that Hillary would have been a preferable choice to people of faith?
I just say “I vote pro-life”. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat several times until they get the message and move on.
A lot of my agnostic friends have thrown this in my face.
When I respond, I always say “If you are so concerned about children, how do you feel about abortion?”
Haven’t had a repeatable response yet.
Liberals hate Jesus except when they are in certain very specific company.
Evangelicals should be aware that before Christianity can flourish, we need to have a level playing field. Religion needs to be respected and revered.
In today’s environment, if you try to proselytize to most of the left, you’ll get run over like a Sherman tank running over a Volkswagen.
We need someone like Trump to try and tame the world so they will at least “listen”. Make America Great Again, entails that theme.
But, many evangelicals get incensed over the women in his past, his multiple marriages, and even his language. Well, If I’m drowning, I could care less about the background of the person who dives in to save my life. We’ll talk later, after I dry out and calm down.
I don’t like that “holier than thou” part of some Christians, and I don’t really care for one-issue voters that much. There’s a lot, a LOT, of things affecting our lives and America right now, and it brings to mind the old song, “ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS”, which tells me that just sitting and waiting for God to swoop down and fix it all isn’t going to work. God has his own plan, and He expects us to handle our own lives and world until He comes back.
We need people to stand up and fight, not hide behind the Bible.
Anyone voting Democrat and claiming to be “Christian Evangelical” is moral fraud.
Good post. I have acquaintances who reject, for example, a faith-based pro-life position as a violation of the separtion of church and state, but attack Christian Trump supporters as not being good Christians by supporting him.
One should love God and love others and not hate anyone including President Donald J. Trump, at least that my take on it.
God has used imperfect men all throughout history
I have served in ministry, and the decision was easy and immediate:
Trump is pro-Freedom and pro-Constitution.
I voted for a president, not a deacon.
Regardless of his own spirutual status with God, he protects religious freedom.
