The evangelical world still holds a powerful weapon in its hands.  Because of the electoral college, what really matters in elections is what happens in each states.  In 2020 Biden beat Trump in Arizona by 10,935 votes.  In Georgia, Biden won by 14,152 votes.  In Wisconsin, Biden won by 20,546 votes.  That’s a total of around 46,000 votes in an election where the total number of votes cast was over 150 million.

David French is at it again.  In the New York Times he recently pinned an opinion piece entitled To Save Conservativism from Itself, I Am Voting for Harris. Now he is making his rounds on anti-Christian platforms like MSNBC.  He is also part of a movement called “Evangelicals for Kamala.”  French was blocked from a round-table discussion at the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) this past summer, but he is welcomed with open arms by those who hate Christianity.  You can tell a lot about a man by who his friends are.

I voted for Donald Trump in the last two presidential elections and I will be voting for him again.  See the reasons for my vote four years ago in an article on the Aquila Report: Why I Am Voting for President Trump – Again!.

My goal here is not to discuss all of the political issues surrounding this presidential election.  If you have not made up your mind on these issues, then you are probably sinking in spiritual quicksand. I simply want to remind the reader of two things—how critical this election is, and what part evangelicals must play in it. Elections have consequences.

The great battle in America in this election is not between personalities, or even between political parties.  There is a war going on in this nation between Christianity and Marxism (I prefer the term Neo-Marxism). Neo-Marxism has captured all of the major institutions in this country including the federal government, the educational institutions, the media, and even the military.  Now, it is infiltrating the church.  See Megan Basham’s book on Shepherds for Sale. The Church was sleeping while the enemy sowed his seeds.

Kamala Harris is a puppet for the power behind her campaign which is Neo-Marxism.  Trump with all his failures, sins, inconsistencies, and fiascos holds some hope for Christianity, or at least the last flicker of what is left of Christianity in this nation.  Trump is no savior.  Some of his positions are anti-Christian, but he may be able to buy us a little more time to fight for biblical liberty and freedom in America.

Four more years of Neo-Marxist insanity will either make America a third world country or bring about a civil war.  Our foreign adversaries are ready to take advantage of our weakness and to shame us.  Kamala Harris with lipstick and high-heals cannot negotiate with the likes of men as Putin or Xi Jinping.

The evangelical world still holds a powerful weapon in its hands.  Because of the electoral college, what really matters in elections is what happens in each states.  In 2020 Biden beat Trump in Arizona by 10,935 votes.  In Georgia, Biden won by 14,152 votes.  In Wisconsin, Biden won by 20,546 votes.  That’s a total of around 46,000 votes in an election where the total number of votes cast was over 150 million. Probably, if evangelicals had turned out in full force and voted for Trump, the results of the election (even discounting fraud) would have been different.  That’s a lot of power in the hands of evangelicals.

The bottom line is that if movements like “Evangelicals for Kamala” have only a minimal influence over evangelicals, then it may push the election in the favor of Kamala Harris and her coterie of Neo-Marxists. According to a Gallup Poll, the Trump vote by white evangelicals declined from 2016 to 2020 by about 4%.  With all the anti-Trump rhetoric that came out of evangelical networks, that sounds about right.  This 4% decline in the white evangelical vote was probably enough to defeat Trump in 2020.

I hope evangelicals will rise up and choose to have a major impact in this election. We do live in a democracy.  We are not living in the New Testament age where Christians had no freedom or responsibility to vote.

If need be, hold your nose, and vote for Trump.  “Evangelicals for Harris” will have a tremendous influence with their purity claims and their guilt manipulation. All they need is a small incremental change for Kamala to win.  Remember, too, that refusing to vote for Trump guarantees a victory for Harris.

Will the influence of men like David French carry the day in the evangelical church by switching the votes of just few thousand evangelicals for Harris, or will the evangelicals that I know turn out and vote for a future that will restrain Neo-Marxism?  I hope I will not be disappointed in the evangelical church again in 2024 as I was in 2020.

Yes, God is sovereign.  In the end we all have to learn to live with his will, even in presidential elections.  However, God has given to each of us both responsibility and accountability, and we need to be faithful in all things.
