To any Christian who feels the need to vote for Trump bc Christians have traditionally always voted Republican, I want to humbly appeal to you.
I am a follower of Christ. I am proud of my faith & how it’s been the constant guidepost in my life.
To be Christian is simple - it’s to devote a life to emulating the life of Christ. Christ is loving, compassionate, humble, empathetic to those who are persecuted & suffering.

The crux of the Christian faith is one humble realization - we are all flawed humans, & we are all in need of the grace of God. My faith compels me to realize my shortcomings & my personal need for grace, & to live by extending that same grace to others.
Let’s be very clear, Donald Trump is the very antithesis of everything Christ represents.
Here are a few reasons why:
Here are a few reasons why:
1. Trump lacks compassion. From separating 500+ kids/parents, to letting millions suffer from COVID, to disgracing front line workers.
“Therefore as God’s chosen people...clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness & patience”
Colossians 3:12

Colossians 3:12
2. Trump play into fear & anger in this country (instead of love & understanding)
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
1 John 4:18

“The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.”
Proverbs 12:22
“The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.”
Proverbs 12:22
4. He is narcissistic & lacks humility. He puts ‘greatness’ over goodness, ego over service.
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth....Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Matthew 5: 5-8
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth....Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Matthew 5: 5-8
5. He does not try to love his adversaries, but instead incites his followers to antagonism.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
Matthew 5:43-44
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

Christians, vote your soul. Vote for the candidate that best represents Christ bc we are in a fight for the soul of our nation.
“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?”
Matthew 16:26
