“To live for a political party is unworthy of a man who professes to be a Christian.”
—Charles Spurgeon

[justincameron]

Following Christ comes before political parties

[robertmcvicar]

I'm in Glasgow Scotland and we are being judged by God for our apostasy from God. Alas I feel it's the same for America. We all need to Repent and get back to the the Lord of the Bible.

[CLUDRDER]

For a while now, I have been convinced that Christians should be independent voters. Our loyalty should be to Christ and His Word, not a political party. Today the Republican party seems to have the platform that aligns with our values the most, but it's not guaranteed that that will always be the case. When we put our trust in human institutions we unavoidably get disappointed. Let's pray and trust God.

[dhand]

Both parties are wicked and politics is corrupt. When Satan offered Jesus the kingdoms, he didn’t reply that he didn’t have them to give.

[integritytreecare]

I heard once both parties are heading in the same direction, one’s just going faster.

[Kenneth-neog]

This is why i am a conservative independent that leans towards republican but not 100%.

[leib]

The culture went this way before the parties did. The parties will do and say whatever the culture wants in order to stay in power. The parties taking an immoral turn is just a symptom, not the root cause of the issue.

I was thinking about Cain and Abel. I realized that God warned Cain, but did nothing else to stop him from murdering Abel and did not warn Abel that Cain was coming. I don't exactly what this means for us, but it shows that God does not force anyone to do what is right, but God does tell the truth about what is right. Maybe we should continue to clearly state the truth of what God says, but not feel compelled to force it on the world around us. In other words, "let those who have ears to hear let them hear". Faith in Christ swept through the Roman world without any political power at all. In fact, I would say some problems came when Christianity became a political force. Just something to think about.

As an American I want the best for this country but my home is a kingdom which the LORD is the foundation and maker.

[Ellomarshall]

It's becoming increasingly hard to support any political party at all as a follower of Christ.

[cdplaya]

Much respect to Pastor Tim for calling this out. Personally I am going to still vote republican simply because of how evil the Democratic Party is. Hopefully it can help somewhat.

[adorkychristiandad]

My dad, who is a democrat, has made the accusation to me lots of times that I'm a Republican . I've told him many times, and I don't care if he doesn't listen to me but I will tell him many times more, I am not a republican I am a Christian. My dad raised me to be sympathetic to democratic candidates, but after Barack Obama was elected I noticed the Democrat Party was more and more taking up positions and policies that were unbiblical and I couldn't with a good conscience vote for them again . Now I don't like certain republicans, and certain policies within their party, but if I'm forced to choose a democrat or a republican, then I have to vote for the Republican. I just wish that we had our own political party that was more in tune to what are Bible says. I guess that's one reason why Jesus said give unto Caesar the things of Caesar and give them to God the things of God

[marjieyoung]

I've thought a lot about this and can't think of a solution that still preserves the system of the American government and also advances Christian values in their entirety. The trouble is it is both simultaneously unchristian and un-American to force biblical beliefs and morality on anyone so we are left with offering the choice and hoping they choose God. Since our decisions are made by a vote of the people you would need to get the majority of people to agree and vote biblically. Because there's a heart issue, that's never going to happen without an actual act of God changing the hearts of the people: a genuine revival. The Republican party is made up of a lot of people, a conglomerate who are definitely not all Christians. They have joined together under a "conservative" banner with points they can mostly agree on. They are being pragmatic. If they splinter apart they will never win so they remain joined together. From a Christian perspective this is a major problem. We vote according to our conscience but in order to remain competitive in the political sphere, Republicans compromise to appeal to the most "conservative" people possible. If we want a party that reflects our values we would need to create a new one, but we would effectively be about as successful as the green party of old was. Although we would have an option to vote, we would still be tossing our vote away (speaking in regard to the people getting voted in who will be creating and maintaining our laws) and the far left would reign unchecked. Alternatively we could attempt to vote in the candidate most likely to successfully oppose them but sacrifice our core values in the process. We are caught between a rock and a hard place. Ultimately we are voting in accordance with our conscience trying to be as faithful as we can while thinking....maybe a theocracy wasn't the worst idea in the world as long as it's led by our "Theo-"... And then reality quickly sets in as we see that rapidly going down in a ball of flames. In the end the problem is it's part of a world system that has been, is, and will always be fatally flawed. Pray, witness, vote as best you can, and remember God is in control.

I am an ambassador of Christ, that means this world isn’t my home, I’m visiting. If the church meetings go south and both parties go wonky, then I know my king is about to recall me from a world that’s disintegrating.

[jakelong]

As someone who follows politics like sports, no one in congress actually cares about we the people.

[sidwhiting]

In the past 24 years, the Left has drifted far Left, and the Right has drifted centrist. There are no nation-wide, robust parties that represent traditional, everyday Americans.... certainly none that represent Christians.

Good thing I do not put my trust in princes, in men who fail. My help comes from the Lord, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

We may get to the point where full on persecution begins, but I take heart that God's church survived some of the worst persecutions that the world had to offer in the early days after Christ's resurrection. The Gates of Hell cannot over come it... nor can the Democratic Party or wishy-washy "conservative" politicians.

[williamseric]

I really can not vote democratic based on their party platform. On the other hand; the republican party leaves something to be desired. It's a matter of taking the lesser of two evils. It's never going to be perfect until Christ returns.

[garybryson]

I long ago decided I could never vote for a Democrat. Things are trending that way for Republcans now.

Father in heaven may your name be sanctified and glorified. May your kingdom come and your will be done here in this nation, on this earth, as it is in heaven.
