Christian Perspective on the 2024 Election

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

First off, Christians have a moral duty to vote and to vote Biblical values.  Pastors or church members who say we should not get involved in elections are checking out of society.  Governmental decisions directly impact all areas of life.  When the Church is silent, evil and greedy power hungry politicians are free to destroy our country.  We must vote!   Look at the moral issues of today.  Are not Pastors and church members supposed to speak into the immorality that we are witnessing on a daily basis?  Yes!

As a Christian there are certain issues I can not vote for.  What does the Bible say?  Does your candidate or party platform endorse these anti God issues?  If so, the choice is simple.  You can’t as a Christian vote for these people.  Case closed.

Nonstarters for me are, abortion, transgender surgeries, homosexual marriage, porn in our school libraries, promoting the gender dystopia in our schools or society, lgbtq+ and since breaking the law is sin, open borders.  We cannot allow immorality and we can’t permit our country to be overrun by people who want to be in America and not be Americans. These are the moral issues only, not to mention high taxation, inflation, energy independence, rule of law and other issues that are more governmental instead of moral.

Christian cannot praise Jesus on Sunday and vote for immorality on Tuesday.  Case closed.  Tell it to Jesus

One candidate and party has embraced all the immoral issues that I could never accept.  So not voting for her or anyone else identified with “that party” is an easy decision.

Now comes the hard part.  The other candidate and party has softened its commitment to life, while still professing a stance of support for the Pro Life position. Going so far as to blame Pro Life supporters for losses in the 2022 midterms. Not good.  Having a fund raiser with a pro gay and lgbtq group. Again a horrible look. Hmm that doesn’t look or sound very good.  This candidate is very good on Israel, energy, ending wars, the border and the economy.  This candidate also appointed many conservative judges including three on the Supreme Court. See the conundrum.  The moving away from traditional Biblical values is frightening to me.  But in the final analysis a candidate that loves America and wants the best for its people and is pro freedom of speech and religion is a big plus.  

In the final analysis one Party and candidate is an absolute NO for moral and ethical reasons.  The other Party and candidate have major flaws, yes major, but is by far the best hope for America at this time. Do I wish a more conservative Godly man or woman were running? Absolutely!!  Is he going to save America? No! Only a true spirit of repentance, and a return to our Godly roots will be the only hope for us.  We are on the brink of destruction.  This is the most important election in our history.  Will we still be a nation after this election, yes but what kind?

I will vote for Trump with my nose pinched and hope for better days.  Which quite honestly I have done for almost all Presidential elections in my lifetime. The saddest part of this composition is the fact that if close to one-half of our country truly will vote for the democratic “Demonic Duo”, we have lost the status of “A Christian Nation”.  

The truth is we are not voting for a Pastor, but the leader of the free world!  A Samson who takes the jaw bone of a donkey and destroys the enemies of the United States of America.  

If my people…will return to me saith the Lord! 2 Chronicles 7:14. Rh

Coalition of Republican Senators Urge Biden Admin to Not Give WHO Authority Over US

By CBN News Talia Wise


A coalition of U.S. senators is demanding the Biden administration withdraw its support of two international agreements that would grant greater authority to the World Health Organization (WHO) and potentially weaken America’s sovereignty.

As CBN News reported, the White House submitted 13 amendments for a pandemic-related treaty last May that essentially give the WHO the right to tell the U.S. what to do in a pandemic. Opponents warn the treaty essentially gives up control of the country’s health care system.

The treaty, which includes 300 proposals to increase the WHO’s emergency powers, is being considered later this month during the World Health Assembly (WHA).

The treaty would allow the W.H.O. to declare a health emergency in the United States, require the U.S. to report to an international “Compliance Committee” on whether it was obeying W.H.O. directives, and would create an enforcement mechanism to essentially punish nations that don’t follow the W.H.O.’s directives.  

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and a host of other Republican senators and pointed out the organization’s response to the pandemic was “abysmal.”

“The WHO’s failure during the COVID-19 pandemic was as total as it was predictable and did lasting harm to our country,” the letter reads. 

“The United States cannot afford to ignore the latest WHO inability to perform its most basic function and must insist on comprehensive WHO reforms before even considering amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) or any pandemic-related treaty that would increase WHO authority,” the group warns.

Idaho Senator Jim Risch outlined in another letter the specific missteps taken by the WHO.

“(Their) track record over the last three years is nothing short of abysmal. When the Chinese government lied to the world in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO parroted and praised China’s officials,” he explained. 

“When it became clear China was covering up truths about the deadliest health emergency in a century, the WHO did nothing to hold it responsible,” he added. “The WHO has failed in its core mission to protect global health time and again.”

The senators concluded, “Should you ignore this advice, we state in the strongest possible terms that we consider any such agreement to be a treaty requiring the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate under Article II Section 2 of the Constitution.”

The W.H.O. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has denied the arguments that the organization is trying to gain power, adding that the W.H.O. could not override the sovereignty of member nations.

“W.H.O. is an expression of member states’ own sovereignty and W.H.O. is entirely what the sovereign 194 member states want W.H.O. to be,” Tedros said. 

Travis Weber, vice president for Policy and Government Affairs at the Family Research Council, told CBN News that even if the International Health Regulations had a treaty to enforce their rule, the U.S. Constitution should have the final say in how America responds in another pandemic and not the W.H.O.

“That means even with a treaty that we are party to that the Senate has given advise and consent to, it does not trump the Constitution, even in the case of a treaty. It’s similar to a statute passed by Congress in its level of authority,” Weber told CBN News. “The Constitution still trumps that.”

This would be the final straw against the sovereignty of our great nation to allow a socialist organization to be able to supersede American laws and the Constitution. Please, please call your Senators and representatives to tell them to stop this egregious move on our freedoms! Rh.
