Is not Clinton partially responsible for the consequences of the Obama administration’s foreign policy, which has seen the rise of Islamic radicalism and the widespread persecution of Christians in the Middle East? She’s participated in the Obama administration as secretary of state. She helped usher in the Arab Spring, which birthed ISIS, which has birthed the entire turmoil in the Middle East. So you have that – or you have Donald Trump. If nothing else, Trump is exhibiting a commitment to evangelical causes through the team he has assembled around him. Should we not also acknowledge his selection of a Christian conservative like Pence as his vice presidential running mate?
Some might think Donald Trump could do the same thing that Obama has done. He could – but I doubt it. He has picked as a potential vice president an outspoken evangelical Christian. He has put around him an outspoken evangelical Christian advisory council. He’s put an amazing coalition of Christians around him. Has Hillary Clinton done anything like that? No, the exact opposite is the truth. I also believe Trump’s patriotism and love for country is sincere.
Trump has made promises. He has stated: ”I want to make America great again.” "I want to build a wall” until we get a grip on this thing. “I want to tighten up the restrictions on who comes in and who doesn’t.” “I want to do some vetting.” “I want to make sure ISIS isn’t coming across our borders to kill us, to destroy us from within” (the Trojan Horse scenario that ISIS boasts about).
Trump wants to bring industrial operations back to America, lower taxes so those people who have the infrastructure and the wherewithal can create good jobs and strengthen our economy. He says he wants to strengthen our military … the bottom line he’s much more of a nationalist and Clinton is much more of a globalist.
However, I have heard from many Christian friends who say they cannot vote for Trump because of their “conscience.” I understand that position, but in my opinion, Christians can’t opt out of their responsibility to do all they can to put the best choice in the White House. After all, they will also be responsible to their conscience if Hillary Clinton is in the White House in a year. I scuff at the notion there is some “perfect person” evangelical Christians can write in to be Commander-in-Chief.
We’re not electing a Pastor or a Pope or a Priest or a Deacon or a Sunday School Teacher. We are electing the person who is going to sit across from Vladimir Putin and the likes and look them in the eyes.
You want to talk about your conscience? What are you going to do when you wake up on November the 9th and you didn’t vote or you voted for a third party who had no chance of winning and effectively gave a vote to Hillary Clinton? You wake up and she’s president-elect. The globalist agenda is in full force. Obama’s last eight years will be on steroids for another four or eight years and beyond. What are you going to say to your children and your grandchildren when the America we knew is gone? When the Constitution, First Amendment rights, Second Amendment Rights, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights, when all of those are gone? What are you going to say about your conscience then?”
Admittedly, Trump is hardly likely to solve all the concerns of evangelical Christians in the United States. But I believe that on issues such as the Supreme Court and religious freedom, Trump will give Christians the “breathing room” they need to rebuild the culture.
There is nothing in the decades of Hillary Clinton’s public life that indicates she is some kind of friend to evangelical Christianity. Whereas Donald Trump has been an ally to Christianity. And as I said, he at least had the guts to pick an evangelical Christian for his vice presidential candidate. The difference between Trump and Hillary Clinton is like light and darkness, wine and vinegar...
