Elections

Tim Scott for President?

By Filings on Wed, 05/24/23
Body

“Scott chose a different narrative. Instead of talking about overcoming, he overcame. He said he had gone ‘from cotton to Congress’ and embraced ‘victory over victimhood.’” - Cal Thomas

“If we abandon politics, someone else will fill the void that we left, someone with a very different agenda than our own. This will mean suffering and pain and destruction for the nation.” - Michael Brown

Why I’m Probably Not Voting This Year

By Aaron Blumer on Thu, 11/03/22

As election day approaches this year, the prospect of voting looks different to me than it has in the past. Whether I look to the left or to the right, my thoughts echo the prophet Jeremiah: “…Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive?” (Jer 12:1).

Hopefully the situation improves by 2024.

Some may wonder what principles would normally make a Christian feel obligated to vote. They include these:

“My personal prayer is that a brand-new person might take the presidency a year and a half from now.”

Body

“It’s a sorry way to elect your leaders. ‘Your candidate is worse than mine!’ is a pitifully bankrupt motto as we enter our nation’s 59th presidential election. But it’s pretty much where evangelical Christians within WORLD’s readership find themselves. It’s a race to the bottom.” - WORLD

Christians in the Age of Trump

By G. N. Barkman on Mon, 07/08/19

Donald Trump is unlike any U.S. president before him, a real enigma to many. Some scold Christians for supporting a president who is so un-Christlike. Are Christians wrong to support a man like this?

In 1998, the messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention passed a wonderful resolution on “Moral Character of Public Officials.”
