Evangelicals, the 2020 Presidential Election, and Matters of Conscience
So long as we are “fully convinced in our own mind” on this matter of conscience and maintain proper decorum, then before God we are both right.

I concur that appointing people-life judges does not make Donald Trump either ethical or competent.
I will agree to disagree. My problem is with Biden and all of the Democratic platform. And who the Democrats will ultimately put forward in a bait and switch. My daughter will be voting in this election and she hates President Trump, but she is not happy that Biden ended up as the pick either. Both of my daughters will probably vote for Biden only because they feel they can not vote for President Trump. I look at President Trump as a business man first kind of like I was hoping Ross Perot would have become President years ago. We need someone in office who is not part of the established cronyism that has become our government. Otherwise God has already made the choice, I just need to learn to live with it. Blessing to you.
Dear Mr Reese;
I have been impressed by your discernment on biblical matters. However, you are lacking discernment in the political domain. Many pastors and Christian leaders are not aware of the political situation.
Yes, we should be aware that are leaders are all sinners and have faults. However, in the present situation, there are two sides to that story. The establishment that is opposed to Donald Trump is opposed because he has promised to clean out the corruption in America. This corrupt system is real and very powerful. They have orchestrated these nationwide riots. They control the mainstream media. They have strong influence on our social media platforms and systematically censor free speech of right wing voices. The censorship is rampant. (Prager U, The Rubin Report, medical information that disagrees with WHO, and many, many more.) Project Veritas has been exposing this for years. In the 2016 election, both the news media and the social media giants slanted the election toward the democrats. This censorship has to be stopped. Obviously, you are unaware of the depth and the evil of ‘The Deep Swamp’ Trump is seeking to clean up, otherwise you would not be publishing one sided political information. If you are interested in being a light and exposing sin (Eph 5:6-14), you need to look at the news from both sides and also present both sides. Fox news presents the right wing side, as do a number of sites on YouTube. The best site I have found for good investigative journalism is Crossroads/The Epoch Times.
God bless you,
George Bertness
If you want to clean out corruption, the man who cannot operate a charity in the state of New York, nor his children, because the Trump Foundation was so fraudulent, is NOT your man. Trump admitted in the settlement that he defrauded certain people. Among these were a veterans charity and St. Judes.
Im old school about some things. Stealing from kids with cancer is beneath contempt. In fact, I assert it is self-evident that everyone who ran against Trump in 2016 (both parties, including primaries) or 2020 (ditto) is more likely to drain the swamp than he is.
And remember – he confessed. He has agreed under penalty of perjury that he knowingly stole.
While posting things you disagree with him on, I would encourage you to give positive feed back about what can be done. The night the police used tear gas in front of the white house to clear the area was the night there have been reports that the protesters were throwing bottles and bricks at law enforcement. Maybe you should check out the report directly with the Secret Service and D.C. Police to find out what really happened. My big concern is what the Democratic Party is doing and has done to our country.
What can be done, Pat, is to not vote for President Trump. Whether one wants to vote for Biden is up to them. Regarding the use of the military to clear citizens for Trump’s photo op, I watched the entire episode live on TV. It was done in broad daylight, not at night. The protesters, and news reporters, where peaceful. I know what I’m talking about because I saw it with my own eyes.
Sad, weak “social justice” christians send a confusing message to the lost the it’s ok to hate America and that their good works will get them to heaven
I am one who vehemently disagrees with you. First you distort the words of the Bible to try to support your position. Rom 14:5 relates only to the day of worship and Rom 14:4 talks about “someone else’s servant” meaning someone else other than God, i.e. who are we to judge a servant of another God. Further, in any political contest we judge who would do the lesser harm as we are all fallen. Consider the harm that the opponents of President Trump would wreak on the country if they were in office…just the millions of abortions/murders of babies is enough to turn a Christian against them and a victory would be taken as wholesale approval to expand this terror on the unborn; as if that’s not enough what about the socialist agenda they will pursue in spite of hundreds years of evidence that socialism does not work but leads to desperation for all except for those in power. These are just 2 examples of the ruin the other party would visit on us. President Trump for all his faults, and who is without sin throw the first stone, is the far better of our choices. I pray every day for him as the Bible commands and I also pray for his personal salvation; may God bless him and our country through his leadership.
Amen!
Herb, I fully agree with you. However, in our two party system when there will only be two choices on the November ballot. I’m very concerned about the direction our country would take if the “other guy” gets elected. It is my feeling that in 2020 we have no good choices.
I stand with you and gracious Father completely.
Amen!
Herb, this has to be the most sensible discourse I’ve encountered since President Trump took office…possibly before, as well! Thank you!
