What? “Christians” like Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, etc. who vote overwhelmingly Democratic/Socialist?
Watch the movie, “Persecuted”.
While it’s a bit melodramatic, it shows how phony some “Christians” are. They even “pray” and call upon the name of the Lord, but their behavior and their love for the things of this world betray them.
If Christians stay home they are not following the idea of Pray and take some positive action toward change.
Laziness, Apathy and Ignorance tend to hand the Elections to the Democrats.

PRAY and Get out and VOTE! You Country is at stake.
I’ve not forgotten this summer when we were being kicked around by Huckabee and others like him. We’re going to call you Racist, homophobes, backwards, holding the country hostage, we’re going to cheat to defeat your candidates, but you better vote for us in November. If you don’t, Christians will be persecuted and puppies will be gassed. Of course I’m going to vote, but not for my worthless GOP rep or senator.
Sick rinos do not get their votes and never will.
A little persecution now and then is good for the soul.
Stand firm in our faith and follow the Lord’s lead.
Like Peter in the garden, we must do as He asks, not as our human conscience desires.
In each instance the author mentioned, we can and should use these episodes of persecution to evangelize.
For example:
The Little Sisters could stop providing health care and spend that money instead on outreach and mission work spreading the Gospel. POWERFUL statement of faith at work.
Hitching Post Wedding Chapel should make a portion of EVERY ceremony a description of what Christian marriage is and its origin....including every scripture condemning homosexuality and extolling virtue. Be sure to include that we are saved from our sin, not in it. How many Gays or Lez’s will line up for that ceremony?
The IRS and churches....the only power the IRS has over churches is that of the tax deduct-ability of member donations....a weak weapon indeed...drop the non-profit status and be wholly free from the rat bastards and speak the truth shouting it from the roof tops.
The baker could put appropriate scripture on EVERY pastry and invoice that extolls virtue. Let them choke on it and let it lay sour in their stomach.
Our children should flee the government schools in their millions to be educated in the church schools. It is easier to do today than in 140+ years with home schooling clubs everywhere and charter schools in many states.
Bottom line.
Persecution will harden the body of Christ.
Persecution will turn an insecure, whining, flabby, mewing milieu of “go alongs/get alongs” into a hard core disciplined and confident army of God peopled by true soldiers of Christ roaring like lions.
Let the minions of Hell hammer away. Let the weak be burned and beaten away. Let the heat and fire forge the faithful into a sharp sword of the Lord whose edge does not dull.
Sure, get out and vote.
But we have far more powerful tools at our disposal. If we truly stand with God, who can stand against us?
But that is just my opinion and what the heck do I know.
Contrary to what the author might want, Christians have no duty to vote at all, let alone to vote for the party of Nero over the party of Caligula.
If Christians Dont Vote Christian, More Christians Will Be Persecuted.
There, fixed it.
On my way out the door to church right now so can’t write much but there are many issues with this article - several commented upon already. I doubt that 80%, Huckabee is not a reliable source (IMO), Jesus told his disciples when his return would be - the “any moment” nonsense does not fit with what the Bible teaches and what the early church fathers believed (”after the tribulation of those days, antichrist in temple declares himself God, the Great Tribulation of antichrist begins, martyrdom of believers, everlasting Gospel of the Kingdom preached by the 3 angels warning those on earth not to take the mark, the sun, moon, stars go out, THEN “lift up your heads because your redemption draws near”, after wrath of God falls on Day of the Lord judgement). Politics will not save America. Ted Cruz (and I’d love to see him as pres.) will not save America. Our problems are moral/sinful and we need to repent as a nation as well as “vote correctly” but somehow voting correctly always seems to come WAY ahead of repentance for most politicians. Most want America “saved” so they can continue their comfortable life style not so they can give it ALL for the Savior and lay down their lives even unto death. Yes, I believe we should get out and vote our conscience but regardless of whoever is in Washington our calling doesn’t change as believers. We exhault the Savior, equip the saints and evangelize the world. Jesus warned us of what is coming. We may be able to delay it to a degree but it will come. If the dragon can’t gobble up the child of the woman, remember, he goes after her off spring - Christians. There, flame away!
A few devout Christians I know are so absorbed in their religion that they really have no idea what is going on in the real world and hide behind religion rather than take up the voting battle.
Churches should publish voting guides with candidates that most closely match their doctrines.
I really hate the threat the left has used to control non-black churches (they just don’t care and have never been confronted over open campaigning in their churches) over politics by using the IRS and tax exempt status.
What an awful article.
There might be good reasons for Christians to vote, but this author hasn’t found them. So instead she perverts the Scriptures to get people to vote Republican.
(And instead of serving God with their whole being, a lot of folks will soothe their guilty consciences by “doing their Christian duty” at the voting booth.)
I live inside the beltway here in Washington DC.
Many of the churches here believe that within a couple generations current trends will lead to serious persecution of christians.
