“Evangelicals Endorse Protective
President!”

It is despicable the words that have come out of Republican
presidential candidate Donald Trump regarding how he viewed women
from a 2005 audio tape but it is disgusting that Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton laughed when a 12-year old
girl's rapist was acquitted due to her representation. Both happened
in the past. This is the first presidential election I can say that
we have two of the worst candidates ever running for president. So
when we vote we have to choose to vote against the worst candidate
compared to the other. When we do that we are voting for the lesser
of two evils.
What if
you think to yourself that you are not like them so you would rather
stay at home instead of voting for either Trump or Clinton?
If you
think like that, you are not alone. There are a lot of people who
want to sit the presidential election out because they see no good
in either Trump or Clinton. To them voting for either candidate is
still voting for evil because lesser of evil is still evil.
So, they
would have you believe it is better to sit the election out instead
of giving your vote to evil.
You who
sit the election out, do you think of yourself as evil or good?
If you
think of yourself as good, I hate to tell you that you are not good.
In fact, you or I are no better than Trump or Clinton.
God's Word
says, “No one is good, not one! All have
sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
If no one
is good, then all of us are bad. If all of us are bad, we are no
better than Trump or Clinton in God's eyes.
If you
think of yourself as evil, I am sad to tell you that you and I are.
In fact, we are as evil as the presidential candidates we oppose by
sitting this election out.
To you and
me, Jesus makes a powerful statement in the Sermon on the Mount by
saying, “If you, then, though you are
evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more
will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
(Matthew 7:11)
Here a
point is being made by Jesus that we all are evil according to God's
judgment but even those who are evil know how to give good gifts to
their children. This is very powerful to me which I intend to
address later.
The apostle Paul says
“For I know that good itself does not
dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to
do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good
I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it,
but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work:
Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.” (Romans
7:19-21)
If we are
seen as evil ourselves, on what basis are we sitting this election
out?
Are we saying to
ourselves, 'As an Evangelical Christian, I can never vote for a man
who demeans women over and over again with sexual innuendo and put
downs, etc?'
If you
answered, 'Yes', it is understandable because he has done damage by
his words.
The Bible
says, “And the tongue is a flame of fire.
It is full of wickedness, and poisons every part of the body. And
the tongue is set on fire by hell itself and can turn our whole
lives into a blazing flame of destruction and disaster.” (James 3:6)
The Bible
also says, “Treat the older women as
mothers, and the girls as your sisters, thinking only pure thoughts
about them.” (1 Timothy 5:2)
Jesus said,
“The laws of Moses said, ‘You shall not
commit adultery.’ But I say: Anyone who even looks at a woman with
lust in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his
heart. (Matthew 5:27)
Trump is
guilty of violating all these 3 verses!
If he is
guilty, what does it make him?
It makes
him an evil person who would fit the description of Romans 7:19-21.
Are Evangelical Christians excusing his
behavior when they vote for him? Not at all!
Women who
have been demeaned by Trump can defend themselves and give their
side but who will defend the rights of the unborn?
It has to
be you and me by our vote.
In our
self-righteousness and holier-than-thou attitude, if we stay at home
without voting for Trump, who will suffer?
It is the
unborn whose life is murdered before they come out of the womb who
will suffer because make no mistake, if Evangelical Christians sit
out this election, Clinton will come to power and ensure Roe v Wade
continues to be the law of the land. Not only that but she will
ensure the funding of Planned Parenthood remains strong.
Make no
mistake, there is viable life inside a woman's womb when she is
pregnant.
The
Psalmist says, “You created all the
delicate inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's
womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex; your
workmanship is marvelous and how well I know it. You were there
while I was being formed in utter seclusion in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born and scheduled all the days of my life
before I began to breathe. How precious are your thoughts towards me
Oh Lord. I cannot even count how many times a day your thoughts turn
towards me. When I waken in the morning you are still thinking about
me.” (Psalm 139:13-18)
I have
only listed one thing against Trump because it has made the most
news and dissuaded certain people from continuing their support for
Trump but there are a lot more against Trump that Evangelical
Christians can cite.
The Word
of God says, “Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)
How can
this happen in this election?
It can
only happen if Evangelical Christians do the good thing by voting
for a candidate who can ensure the holocaust of the slaughter of the
unborn is stopped.
Won't you
say that is a good thing?
If you had
in your power the ability to ensure that the safety of the unborn
can be protected for years to come, don't you want to exercise that
right?
Your vote
for Trump alone can assure that more than you staying at home or
voting for Clinton.
Right now
the holocaust of the unborn has become a pandemic. Clinton wants to
continue that by ensuring to put justices on the Supreme Court that
will continue to make Roe v Wade the law of the land. Trump wants to
stop that by ensuring to put justices on the Supreme Court that will
be in the likes of the late Justice Anthony Scalia.
As an
Evangelical Christian, you have the power to make that happen by
putting Trump into office.
The Bible
says, “Rescue those who are unjustly
sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to
disclaim responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. For God,
who knows all hearts, knows yours, and he knows you knew! And he
will reward everyone according to his deeds.” ( Proverbs 24:11-12)
Won't you
agree that the unborn are unjustly sentenced to death when they are
killed?
If the
unborn who cannot defend themselves are important to you, then
rescue them. Don't stand back and let them die but stand with me and
vote for Trump.
I don't
want to disclaim responsibility by saying I didn't know about it
because I know the unborn are unjustly sentenced to death. I also
know if I can put a person in office who can protect the life of the
unborn, I will choose to put that person in office by my vote. I
know God knows my heart and your heart. God knows your motives and
mine. God knows we know that the unborn are unjustly sentenced to
death.
Will we be
quite or take action?
I think
there is a reason why 68% of Evangelical Christians are still
planning to vote for Trump. The main issue for many of them is the
sanctity of life of the unborn among other issues. So, I ask you to
join me in voting for Trump.
Where are
the other 32% of Evangelical voters?
Are they
staying home or voting for Clinton?
Please
don't because your inaction will actually mean a vote for Clinton.
Do you
know who ISIS kills the most?
It is
those who profess to be Christians and love the Lord! Even when ISIS
is responsible for terrorism, Clinton will not call them Radical
Islamists. She refuses to do that.
Here
Christians have been unjustly sentenced to death but this time by
ISIS. However, ISIS does not limit itself to just killing Christians
but others too! Now for a defeat of ISIS, you need an outsider who
is willing to defeat them unlike what has happened in this current
administration.
There can
be a lot of reasons to stay at home without voting but I want you to
focus on those who have been unjustly sentenced to death: The unborn
and those who have been persecuted by Radical Islamists.
Clinton's
coming to office will not change both of those situations.
I shared
earlier Jesus words, “If you, then, though
you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask
him!” (Matthew 7:11)
Even an
evil person can give good gifts. This makes me think no matter how
evil Trump is seen as, he can still give good gifts to his children.
Taking this a step further, his winning the election can give good
gifts to the unborn because he will put the right Supreme Court
justices in office. Atleast, that is my hope and belief.
Will you join me in voting for Trump for the
main issue of protecting those who are unjustly sentenced to death?
As
Evangelical Christians, we know if it were not for the grace of the
Lord Jesus, we ourselves don't know where we will be.
Making a judgment on Trump
because of his words and staying at home will hurt the unborn. This
is the main reason, I am asking your support to vote for Trump. For
I know for sure that Clinton will continue the slaughter of the
unborn because she has said so and it is reflected in her senate
record.
Let
me make one thing clear that I neither like Trump nor Clinton to be
president. I think Trump's chauvinistic attitude towards women is a
disgrace including the accusations that have come out against him
but Clinton is far worst than Trump to me.
I asked myself what if Trump is guilty of rape
based on public opinion?
Would that change my vote against Trump so I
stay at home?
Sadly,
the answer is no!
I am surrounded by beautiful and loving women
in my life!
I asked myself hypothetically if Trump was
accused of raping any of them, would I still support Trump?
I
came to the conclusion that if I stayed at home without supporting
Trump, the unborn will suffer and continue to die.
I also realized that the sentence for rape is
atleast 11 years if someone is convicted of it while the sentence
for 1st degree murder is death or life without parole.
If you look at it in terms of sentencing,
Clinton still loses. She advocates 1st degree murder of the unborn.
First degree murder is intent to kill with premeditation. Abortion
is intent to kill with premeditation. It will continue with Clinton
in office so I would rather choose someone accused of sexual assault
over someone accused of allowing the unborn to die everyday.
Trump
has said that the women that came out against him were lying and he
is for women while Clinton has said that she would continue to
ensure Roe v Wade is the law of the land.
I questioned myself on how I could still vote
for Trump if he was hypotheticallly accused of sexually assaulting
my family?
If I loved
my family so much then I should not be voting for Trump in the
hypothetical scenario, then why am I?
It is
because of Jesus' words that resonate in me.
"If you
love your father and mother more than you love me, you are not
worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than
me, you are not worthy of being mine. (Matthew 10:37)
“Anyone
who wants to be my follower must love me far more than he does his
own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters—yes, more
than his own life—otherwise he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)
And Jesus replied, “Let me assure
you that no one has ever given up anything—home, brothers, sisters,
mother, father, children, or property—for love of me and to tell
others the Good News,who won’t be given back, a hundred times over,
homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land—with
persecutions! (Mark 10:29-30)
What does
loving Jesus mean to me in this situation?
By my
vote, I am showing my love for Jesus by hoping to protect the
creations that he has made according to Psalm 139. Because I know if
I don't vote than it is an automatic vote for Clinton to continue
the slaughter of the unborn. My voting for Trump does not negate my
love for my family but I am putting Jesus first in this situation
too with the hopes of protecting the unborn without thinking about
myself or my family first.
The Bible
says, “Rescue those who are unjustly
sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to
disclaim responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. For God,
who knows all hearts, knows yours, and he knows you knew! And he
will reward everyone according to his deeds.” ( Proverbs 24:11-12)
Lot was
Abraham's nephew who was living in Sodom and Gommorah. Sodom and
Gommorah were about to be destroyed by God because of the prevalence
of homosexuality and other wickedness there.
One day
two angels from the Lord came to visit Lot to tell him to take his
wife and daughters so they leave Sodom and Gommorah. While the
angels were in Lot's house, people of the cities came and wanted to
sodomize the angels.
Lot's love
for the angels of the Lord was more than his love for his daughters
because he was willing to offer his daughters to the people of the
town to be sexually assaulted so he could protect the angels of the
Lord.
“As they were preparing to retire for the
night, the men of the city—yes, Sodomites, young and old from all
over the city—surrounded the house and shouted to Lot, “Bring out
those men to us so we can rape them.” Lot stepped outside to talk to
them, shutting the door behind him.
“Please, fellows,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked
thing. Look—I have two virgin daughters, and I’ll surrender them to
you to do with as you wish. But leave these men alone, for they are
under my protection.” (Genesis 19:5-7)
What kind
of father would do that?
Then, it
occurred to me that humanly speaking what he was willing to do was
unthinkable but his love for the Lord was more than his love for
family. In the end, angels of the Lord blinded the people of the
town and his daughter's were protected too!
The point
being here is that his love for the Lord prevailed more and his
daughters were protected too!
What I am
asking you now is to put your love for the Lord Jesus above your
love for you mommy, your wife, your daughters, your sisters, your
girlfriends, etc and vote for Trump so the Lord's creation in the
wombs of mothers can be protected as stated in Psalm 139. A vote for
Trump is in now way condoning sexual assault but protecting the
unborn!
