I am often asked how do I vote. As a pastor, I do not tell people who to vote for and neither does Hillside Church. I do tell people to vote their convictions. Candidates come and go. One’s convictions remain. It comes down to worldview.
In this election, we have two presidential candidates that claim to be “people of faith” but do not seem to be born again Christians. But I do not vote for candidates, I vote for worldviews. Behind each candidate is a group that advocates a worldview the other does not.
Only one group has a Pro-life platform. Only one group claims to support what some call “Traditional Marriage,” marriage between one man and one woman. Only one group seems inclined to allow us to exercise our freedom of religion without onerous restrictions and persecution. One group tends to characterize Christians as homophobes and Islamophobes. One group does not. One group endorses Critical Theory and Intersectionality and one does not. Two groups… two worldviews.
I cannot support the unfettered dismemberment and murder of unborn human beings who have no voice or a group who does. And I do not support a concept of marriage that is antithetical to Christianity. I vote according to my worldview—and so should you. What is your worldview?
