The Sleeping Giant of the Evangelical Church
-- How WE the PEOPLE Can Make All the Difference!
Did you know that only 50% of Evangelical Christians are registered to vote!?
Of those who are registered, only 50% actually vote.
Of those who vote, only 50% take the time to research the candidates and apply biblical principles to their vote.
If you’re keeping track of the math, that means only 12.5% of Evangelical Christians vote according to biblical principles. (Source: Jared Dodd, author of Christianity and Government.)
Mark Gonzales, of the Hispanic Action Network, also confirms the distressing statistic that 75% of Christians DO…NOT…VOTE…
While this statistic is devastating, it also offers a beacon of incredible hope!
We the Church are like a massive, sleeping giant, but We the Church could make ALL the difference if we wake up and VOTE!
Learn how your Local Congregation could start a Civic Ministry to organize and encourage 100% Voter Registration and 100% Voter turnout HERE! Please share this article with its resources to your Local Pastor, and volunteer to coordinate a Civic Ministry at your Church!!
Ask your Pastor if you could set up a non-partisan Voter Education Booth for a couple Sundays prior to the August 13th National Primary and the November 5th General Election. All the info and resources you need to do this in Minnesota can be found HERE, through the Early Voting Toolkit on the Women Advancing Freedom website.
WE — the CHURCH — could change the trajectory of our State! — but the MAJORITY of Christians must VOTE!
In the 2022 election, in outstate Minnesota, there were at least over 22,000 known conservatives in rural areas who were mailed a ballot yet did not return it.
Conservative candidates Ryan Wilson for State Auditor only needed 8,435 votes to win and candidate Jim Schultz for Attorney General needed slightly over 20,000 votes to win the Attorney General’s office.
Just think of the profound difference it would make to have two State offices that deal with oversight and accountability held by Republicans in a State otherwise driven by a Democratic Trifecta.
In the State House of Representatives, in 2022, Republicans won one seat by 15 votes, another seat by 33 votes, a third seat by 128 votes, and a fourth seat by 199 votes. An additional seat could have been won with only 117 votes, and five more seats could have been won with an additional 207-271 votes each!
In 2024, Republicans only need to win four seats to regain the majority and restore party balance to our State Government.
In the State Senate, in 2022, the majority was lost by ONLY 321 votes! With the loss of that one seat, Republicans lost their majority in the Senate and thus their ability to stop any of this damaging legislation.
Don’t you ever think, not even for one moment, that your vote doesn’t count!
And don’t you ever think, not even for a moment, that the system is so corrupt that your vote, your voice doesn’t matter. Watch the video at this link: Why Vote?
Imagine what the outcomes would look like if 90% of evangelical Christians versus only 12.5% voted according to biblical principles!? If the MAJORITY of Christians voted, we could break any algorithm and surpass any fraudulent activity! Even Tucker Carlson said in a recent podcast that if Christians turn out the conservative vote in the same record numbers that they did in 2016, it is game over.”
Our hope is in God!
The Church is His Agent on Earth!
Truly, the power lies with US - We the Church!!
We the Church CAN turn our City, State, and Nation!
But the majority MUST take a stand!
Every Christian MUST Vote!
In the 2022 election season, I was shocked to realize that some Conservative Christians intentionally do not vote at all. Some refuse to vote for a conservative candidate if they don’t line up 100% with their stance on every issue, especially abortion. Many Christians take a 100% abolitionist stance on abortion and refuse to vote for any candidate whose stance is anything less.
While certainly as Christians, we can all agree that 100% eradication of abortion is the ultimate goal, yet a bill to that effect would currently have no chance of passing in Minnesota. In our purple state, we must work incrementally toward that goal, starting with what is achievable today. To do so is not a compromise of our beliefs.
In the 2022 election, in the 2nd Congressional District, for example, some conservative voters chose NOT to vote for conservative candidate Tyler Kistner because they realized that he would allow abortion in the case of rape, incest, or life of the mother. However, what they needed to realize was that to NOT vote for Tyler Kistner — who would have worked toward eliminating all abortions except for the cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother — WAS to vote FOR Angie Craig — who views abortion as “health care” and supports it all the way up to birth, and who also votes with the progressive left segment of her party more than 90% of the time.
When conservative Christians choose not to vote, we get off balanced government and extreme legislation like what just passed in 2023 — abortion legalized all the way up to and beyond the moment of birth; MN established as a trans refuge state, even for minors; mandated ethnic studies, which is taught through a critical race theory lens; pedophilia being added as a protected sexual class; a $17.5 billion surplus spent and the state budget increased by 40%; a burdensome paid family leave act that will bankrupt businesses, red flag gun confiscation laws, the establishment of a hate speech database, plus a completely unrealistic ban on carbon energy by 2040, etc.
Throwing away your opportunity to vote is throwing away the most powerful privilege you have as an American!
As a Christian, you have a responsibility before God, and family, and Country to VOTE EVERY TIME!
Your vote is your voice!
Do NOT allow yourself to be silenced!
Your vote is a powerful opportunity to bring the influence of Christ’s salt and light to bear on our government and laws. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was right:
Not to act IS to act!
Not to not vote IS to vote!
If we fail to VOTE…they win.
If we GIVE UP…they win.
If we do NOTHING…they win.
If we remain SILENT…they win.
Simply put: if the Church of Jesus Christ in Minnesota wakes up, steps out of their complacency, shatters their silence, and puts their faith into action, honoring their Savior by voting according to biblical principles, then we will change the trajectory of our State!
But if the Majority of Christians FAIL to take action in the 2024 election season, our State is lost. Minnesota will not survive two more years of the destructive policies we’ve seen initiated in 2023.
NO ONE can afford to sit out on the November 5th, 2024 election!
God has sovereignly placed each one of you in Minnesota
….for such a time as this….
Our State and the Church are at a crossroads.
Will you rise to meet the moment?
