| 0:00.0 | For those of you that your pastor or Christian leader is telling you to abstain from the vote because there's no one that represents purely your convictions, I would say that is ridiculous because if God's people don't vote it's not going to get better and if God's people aren't involved that means the only people making the decisions do not have the spirit of God and are not loyal to Jesus Christ. |
| 0:27.0 | As well, for some Christians who are saying, |
| 0:30.0 | I don't like the personality of Donald Trump or perhaps JD Vance. |
| 0:36.0 | What we're looking for is policy and leadership. |
| 0:40.0 | If you're looking for personality, that's good to choose for your friend in chief, not your commander in chief. |
| 0:46.0 | When you're voting for someone, you're taking the best of two options, |
| 0:50.0 | and where Christians find ourselves today, you have a couple of options. |
| 0:55.0 | You can go full-blown woke apostate, pro-death, and vote for Kamala Harris. |
| 1:01.0 | I would strongly encourage you not to do that. Number two, you can do like the Anabaptists and you can abstain from politics, the election and the process of voting and then you are not involved and God's people are vacating an opportunity |

| 1:32.1 | but in your mind it was doing the right thing. |
| 1:35.0 | Or you can plug your nose, head into the ballot booth and you can vote and you can take the best of two options. What I would say is this, I do not see how though Kamala |
| 1:48.8 | Harris and Tim Waltz professed to be Christians, that they actually are living out Christian values. |
| 1:55.9 | They are both pro-death, anti-family, and their policies are not commensurate with biblical worldview. |
| 2:05.4 | On the other side, we do at least know |
| 2:08.3 | that J.D. Vance, by all accounts, |
| 2:10.7 | is a believer in Jesus Christ, is a |
| 2:13.7 | Christian and does hold to a biblical worldview. |
| 2:17.6 | So you're O for two and here we at least have one guy who's on team Jesus is going to open the Bible, |
