US-Republican

With slim majorities at stake in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the direction of the country teeters on the brink as Americans decide Nov. 5 whose priorities and policies will prevail in the halls of Congress.

For now, Democrats hold a razor-thin voting majority in the Senate thanks to four left-leaning Independents and a Democrat vice president who serves as the tie-breaker when votes are even. Meanwhile, Republicans hold an eight-seat lead in the House of Representatives.

But the balance of power in the federal government will soon be tested by the American electorate. All 435 seats in the House and 33 in the Senate are up for grabs before the 119th Congress convenes Jan. 3. Of the 33 Senate seats in question, 10 are held by Republicans, 19 are occupied by Democrats and four are Independents.

And for Bible-believing Christians, this election couldn’t be more consequential. Much more important than partisan politics, the Judeo-Christian foundation on which America was established faces a perilous future. From the sanctity of human life, to God’s design for human sexuality, to parental rights and public safety, the fabric of a God-blessed America seems to be unraveling right before our eyes.

So, what is a Christian supposed to do when candidates on both sides of the political aisle fail to thoroughly uphold a Biblical worldview?

Maybe to vote to lessen evil is to vote for moderate independents if possible. The 3rd party seems 1000x more palatable than Trump, and 200x more palatable compared to Kamala. Yes, I know we only have two candidates to choose from, but we have to try better than the two we got.

Quote from Herald Star Online (Ohio): "Officially incorporated in 2016, the ASP identifies as the “fastest-growing political party in the United States.” Since its initial founding in 2011, the ASP has nominated multiple candidates for public office across the U.S., including presidential candidates in 2016 and 2020. The party says it is based on the ideology of Christian democracy, which applies Roman Catholic teaching on social issues to modern political questions. It espouses a “common good” approach to policy in a pluralistic state, with principles including respect for the sanctity of life, social justice, community-oriented society, centrality of the family, economic security, care for the environment and peace and international solidarity."

A Christian is on their own path to "stay the course" during times of tribulation. What did Jesus Christ of Nazareth pray for?

25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

LOVE is His desire from those who know Him. There is no LOVE in fear. Do not fear, do not let the world control you and most of all, do not be deceived to think that a vote has anything to do with the Kingdom of God.
