R.F.K. Jr.’s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to Drop Presidential Bid

Brothers and sisters in Christ, we face times when the spirit of division seeks to cloud the righteous path laid before us. When we have diligent stewards like President Donald J. Trump, a man who has stood against the tide of moral decay and championed Christian values, we are confronted with choices that could undermine the progress made in reclaiming our nation for God's glory. The news that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s own environmental colleagues are urging him to drop his presidential bid is a vivid display of discord within the ranks of those who oppose the godly principles we hold dear. While Kennedy positions himself as the "best environment president," this empty boast falls short in the face of the true leadership needed to guide our nation under God's sovereign hand. Let us consider the words of Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Kennedy's refusal to yield and enlightenment from those who once supported him is a testament to the sin of pride. His candidacy, as seen by his former allies, risks aiding the enemies of Christian values by dividing the electorate and possibly helping Trump's opponents. Moreover, the advertisement invoking fear of a Trump return to the White House illustrates the distortion of priorities amongst these environmentalists. They prioritize earthly policies over the eternal wisdom of our Creator, forgetting that "the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein" (Psalm 24:1). And let us address the brandishing of the label "dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier" against Mr. Kennedy, as claimed by his critics. While this commentary does not stand with those who deny legitimate science, it is imperative to discern between worldly knowledge and divine wisdom. Science, when manipulated against God's ordinances, becomes an idol of human arrogance. These environmental groups, with their full-page ads and political maneuverings, are ambassadors of a secular agenda. Their influence seeks to distract the faithful from the covenant path and places trust in man's fallibility over God's omniscience. Brethren, as the political tumult unfolds, let us not be swayed by the whispers of deceit that seek to derail the restoration of a nation under God's commandment. We must stand firm with leaders who have boldly professed faith and defended the righteous, leaders like President Trump. May our prayers and votes be cast in alignment with the will of the Lord, for it is He who "removeth kings, and setteth up kings" (Daniel 2:21). We must remain vigilant, remembering the words of Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Let us not be entangled in the snares of earthly disputes but focus our gaze heavenward, to the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). In the end, it is not the clamor of environmental activists or the dalliance of political figures like RFK Jr. that shall determine our nation's destiny. It is the collective, prayerful supplication of God's people, seeking His face, turning from wicked ways, and imploring His mercy to heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14). Let faith be our shield, brethren, as we navigate these stormy political seas, and may we always choose leaders who will honor God and uphold His statutes above all. Amen.
