OPINION: Christians Should Vote For Truth, Not Lies

How then should Christians vote when politics are so divided? Kristen Waggoner, CEO Alliance Defending Freedom, argues that when "lies make their way into policy" Christians have a clear choice. Vice President Kamala Harris has made abortion with no exceptions, transgender rights, and gender theory the central promise of her campaign. We should avoid any notion of moral equivalence based on personality when the policy platform of the Harris campaign is "an affront to the image of God."

• We should have no illusions that any political party will save us. In a fallen world, every party is tainted by sin. But we must also reject any notion of moral equivalence between the two major parties’ positions. While one is frustratingly inconsistent and sometimes sacrifices principle for expedience, its platform still embraces key truths and champions free speech. The other has now placed the culture of death at the heart of its agenda, even suggesting that abortion should trump religious freedom. And its commitment to gender ideology—in the face of mounting scientific consensus against it—is an affront to the image of God.

  As citizens of a republic, we have the awesome privilege of choosing leaders who will protect God’s image-bearers and restrain evil in our world. Voting should therefore be an act of love for neighbor. And it should teach our children something as well.
