With less than 50 days until election day, it’s essential to evaluate candidates based on their alignment with Biblical values and their potential impact on families and society. With this in mind, Donald Trump is the only Presidential candidate Christians should support. Here are three key reasons why many of your values align with Trump’s platform: his commitment to protecting children from inappropriate content, securing the border, and focusing on economic policies that help families thrive.
1. Border Security
During his first term, President Trump made huge strides towards securing the southern border. Still, there are millions of illegals crossing the southern border with malicious intentions. Trump continues to emphasize the need to fully secure the southern border to prevent drug and sex trafficking and protect vulnerable populations.
Proverbs 31:8-9 instructs us: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” By advocating for stronger border policies, he seeks to ensure those who enter the country do so through legal channels, fostering a safer environment for families all across the nation.
2. Economic Policy
In an era where many families are feeling the pinch of rising living costs, Trump’s focus on reducing taxes and promoting economic growth would significantly impact family well-being. By implementing tax cuts, he aims to provide families with more financial freedom, allowing them to allocate resources toward essential needs.
This helps families carry out the mission given to them in 1 Timothy 5:8 which states, “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” Lowering the cost of living is crucial for helping families thrive, enabling them to focus on nurturing their children and building strong, stable homes.
3. Anti-CRT Stance
Throughout his time as a candidate and in the White House, Trump has taken a strong stance against critical race theory (CRT) and radical gender ideology in schools, advocating to cut federal funding for any educational institutions promoting these ideas.
This aligns with the biblical principle of protecting children and ensuring they are raised in environments reflecting wholesome values. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Yet so many woke teachers and school administrators push radical leftist policies on children.
By supporting policies to keep inappropriate content out of schools, Christians can help ensure children receive an education aligned with their values.
Ultimately, informed voting is a vital part of living out the Christian faith in the public sphere, as expressed in Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice.” If you have a friend in your church who is torn on who to vote for, please consider sharing this with them! As Christians prepare to cast their votes, it is vital for us to unite behind a candidate who supports Biblical values and the needs of families.
