We go to a large non-denominational church, and this is the first year our pastor has talked to the congregation about voting with the party that reflects the “morality” of the Bible. Three points he made were marriage, abortion, and standing with Israel.
We happened to be tuning the dial on the radio, and came across a sermon with John MacArthur saying the same thing...as a Christian you must stand with morality, and listed the same three areas.
Read an article by a black preacher who was preaching as much to his congregation.
Then my dad called me this morning and told me in our local paper there is an full page ad from Billy Graham, saying the exact thing: Stand with the party that is pro-life, traditional marriage, and for Israel.
In the past, I think the clergy have failed to have a voice, but that’s not happening this year.
I think the clergy have been wary of speaking against candidates like Obama, for fear that their churches would be threatened by the IRS with loss of their tax exempt status.
