EP 38 – An Urgent Plea to Pastors BEFORE the Presidential Election, #maga #maca #shepherd

This week’s episode features “An Urgent Plea to Pastors“. Specifically, those pastors who have not talked about the election from their pulpit. With so many moral issues being decided in this election you might say, how can any pastor not discuss the election? Well, we like how you think and we want to encourage other pastors to think more like Jesus as well!
Thanks!

NOMINATE YOUR PASTOR FOR THE BLOOD RED CHURCH AWARD

It is definitely a fine line and a divisive one. That is the concern. Addressing parties are triggers for divisions in otherwise peaceful and meaningful relationships, especially Christian, church relationships. There are well-meaning Christians who are Democrats. We all know that mentioning those parties will draw fire. No doubt. It will. Therefore, we can judiciously attempt to avoid triggers, while faithfully addressing the topic of voting. While not fail proof, I try to communicate: When voting, consider voting for the Biblical Issues and not your favorite flawed candidate. Then attempt to address the issues and urge the people to vote Biblically. We can bring up the faults of the Dem. Part, and they are many and they are deep. But we are attempting to help people see the need to have a worldview that is not dictated by preferences, personalities, love or hatred; but perhaps sharpening their Biblical values and thereby helping them to vote differently.

Have been praying for a Josiah generation, the same pattern of the Jewish people who were on the cusp of entering their captivity due to their depravity of hardened resistance against God, to have some years of revival opportunity with the laying aside of such demonic governance as we have in our day. It is a direct result of believers abandoning the faith, so I'm pressing forward in continued discipling with the Word.
Concerning pastors who avoid politics in the church, meaning talking about political righteousness from biblical truth and our responsibility to promote it for the sake of loving our neighbor rightly, I was led along as a pastor in the days of Ronald Reagan by the Evangelical Free Church's 'ethos' of not taking sides politically so as to avoid division; that unity in the church was preserved by silence. Being naive was my hallmark.
I continued this practice when an obviously godless 'christian man' from Arkansas called Clinton ran four years later and the effect was moral decadence. It was an even clearer choice for immorality (backdoor support for homosexuality vis-a-vis 'don't ask don't tell' military, sexual perversion not a reality if we parse the words as in "I did not have sex with that woman") not to mention government intervention ('it takes a village') to support abortion via public education. As Regan promised and failed to keep that promise to rid us of the Department of Education, instead the Republican party that made 'a contract with America' if elected, got that majority of all congress and presidency, and did nothing but drop any real measures to fulfill it.
The second term run for a Clinton presidency was the watershed moment just like this election. And still, I went along with my EFCA formed ministry because I did not realize as I should have, looking back to the 1988 National Conference decisions, that our leadership was all about their leftist proclivities and I draw the line from there to this last Conference where leftism flooded the whole place and there was the affirmation of the EFCA as a denomination, and one with a few in charge now empowered. So, why do pastors go along with the political silence?
In my case, it was naivety - whole sections of Scripture were misaligned in my mind. It was not until recent years - post-Clinton - and verified so clearly with the manufactured Covid 'crisis' which drew in EFCA pastors hook, line and sinker - that I began to regularly discuss the Demons and the Rats in government in light of biblical truth. So, it may be with many others who simply want a peaceful life of ministry without conflict. Brothers, conflict is here to stay until the Lord returns.
