Thoughts on Trump’s Victory

Written by Bill Mulenberg

We have not just witnessed a big renewal in the U.S. political landscape, but a resurrection. Donald J. Trump has comfortably been elected the 47th president of the United States. Counting continues, but at this point he handily overtook the 270 electoral college votes needed to win.

He gave a brief victory speech in Palm Beach at around 2:30am. But Kamala left early and did not say a word to the media or her deflated fans – just like Hillary refused to come out and speak to her supporters in 2016.… Continue Reading

This Election Is Far More Consequential Than It Should Be

Written by Robert Knight

For months, it’s been clear that people on either side are terrified that the opposing presidential candidate will win.

Democrats have doubled down on their assertion that Donald Trump is a fascist or even a Nazi dictator in waiting. They warn of the end of democracy should he win.

Republicans fear that Kamala Harris will push a Marxist agenda and create a one-party state by removing election safeguards such as voter ID while continuing to facilitate the illegal invasion of millions of aliens.… Continue Reading

Can We Trust Kamala to “Fight Hate?”

Written by Ecce Verum

We’re in the final days of the election season now.

Maybe you’ve already voted. Maybe you’re still trying to decide. Regardless of anything I or anyone else writes to sway you one way or another, I pray God gives you the wisdom to honor Him in good conscience with your ballot. Walk before Him in righteousness.

Yet, I do think that He often uses other human voices to help guide us into wisdom, and I hope I’m able to contribute a little truth here and there to that end.… Continue Reading

No Moral Equivalency Between The Left and The Right

Written by Brandon Myers

Though some foolish, uniformed, and lazy voices would claim otherwise, there is little to no moral equivalency between the platforms and positions of the left and the right.

The Democrats and the Republicans are at odds with one another on a number of vital issues.

The Democrats are a proud, death-cult political party that celebrates what God hates.

As Dr. Andrew Walker notes, the Democratic platform, written by their key leaders, is the most radical platform in U.S.… Continue Reading

Will Christians be the Reason Kamala Gets Elected?

Written by Ecce Verum

A Christian brother recently told me that he was originally planning not to vote in this presidential election. He obviously wasn’t going to vote for Kamala, and given Trump’s support for abortion pill access, he couldn’t bring himself to vote for Trump either.

Abortion is so morally repugnant that he couldn’t see himself supporting a candidate who supported access to even the pills. For him, abortion was a reason to not vote in this election.… Continue Reading

Is Kamala “Weird?”

Written by Ecce Verum

As I mentioned in a recent article, Kamala’s appeal comes from portraying herself as a more normal, mainstream, and civil choice than Trump. As she remarked to one audience,

“a lot of what I think is happening . . . is that people are exhausted about the division and the attempts to kind of divide us as Americans.”

And, when running against someone as idiosyncratic as Trump, it’s an obvious—and pretty smart—marketing choice.… Continue Reading

Voting to God’s Glory and for the Good of Our Beloved Country and Countrymen

Written by Brandon Myers

Praise God that Jesus is still on the throne! But let us not lose sight of the mission He has given us to be salt and light in a darkening and decaying nation!

According to a recent study as many as 41 million (!) born-again Christians may not vote in this upcoming election. A leading reason for their decision to sit out and not exercising their God-given and blessed right of voting: apathy.… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: Illinois, Go Vote!

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Is it a Christian’s duty to vote?

According to research conducted by Barna, 41 million professing Christians and 32 million mainline Christians are not planning on voting in the upcoming general election.

In this episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, Monte Larrick sits down with David Smith, Executive Director of Illinois Family Institute and Illinois Family Action, to discuss the results of this research study.

“Romans 13 tells us that all authority is ordained by God… Who is the authority in America?

Every Christian Has a Moral Obligation to Vote

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

A recent national survey conducted by George Barna of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University indicates that many Christians do not plan to vote on Nov. 5. Mr. Barna says that about 104 million religious people will not bother to vote in this election, and of those, 32 million are theologically defined as born-again Christians.

Why do so many conservative believers plan to sit this one out?

Mr. Barna’s survey answers that question.… Continue Reading
