Brothers and sisters in Christ, as we dive into the political melee surrounding the upcoming elections, let us never forget the wisdom of Proverbs 29:2, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." This Fox News Power Rankings Issues Tracker portends a grave concern for the faithful, as it shows former President Trump, a stalwart of conservative Christian values, leading on key issues like the economy and immigration, while Vice President Harris, whose policies often run counter to the Word of God, is gaining ground. Firstly, let it be known that a nation that respects Biblical law respects its borders, as Nehemiah built walls to protect Jerusalem. Where Harris has shown a soft touch on border control in previous campaigns, President Trump has remained firm, which is reflected in his 14-point lead on immigration in the Fox News Poll. Anything less than enforcing strong immigration policies is tantamount to ignoring Romans 13:1, which reminds us to submit to governing authorities. Moreover, the alarm bells must be ringing loud and clear as Vice President Harris is seen closing the gap on the economy—an issue where our community understands that it's not just numbers and policy, but about stewardship and responsibility, as described in the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30). Trump's 8-point lead may have diminished, but we know his business acumen is reflective of a servant who wisely invests his talents, not one who squanders it as the reckless policies of the current administration seem to gloss over. Indeed, the most harrowing of all is Harris' lead over Trump on issues like abortion. This reveals a nation straying like lost sheep from the sanctity of life that Psalm 139:13-14 advocates, as God knits each person together in their mother's womb. No one who supports the slaughter of the innocent can govern with a godly heart, and the Democrat platform's failure to protect the unborn is an abomination. Even though Harris appears to be making strides in areas of honesty, temperament, and mental soundness, we are reminded of how even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). It's the policies and underlying values one upholds that matter. As the DNC rolls out its convention this week, we must peer past the facade of empowering speeches and plastered smiles to discern the true nature of their agenda. Let it be made abundantly clear that a vote for policies that contradict the Lord’s teachings is a vote leading our great nation down the path of destruction (Matthew 7:13). As Christians, we must not be swayed by worldly perceptions but remain anchored in the eternal truth of Scripture as we approach the polls. Pray, dear friends, for righteousness to prevail, for as we know, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD" (Psalm 33:12). In the face of this political turbulence, let us place our trust in the Lord and in leaders like President Trump, who advocate for the soul of America, standing as a bulwark against the progressive tide that seeks to upend the Judeo-Christian values upon which our nation was founded. May God guide us in these tumultuous times, and may His will be done in the upcoming election. Amen.
