Would Jesus Vote for Trump? by Doug Giles,Brandon Vallorani Pdf

So, would Jesus vote for Trump?No doubt many, especially on The Left and the NeverTrumpkins who claim Christ, probably just spit out their double chocolaty chip crème frappuccino over the mere posing of that question but best-selling authors, Doug Giles and Brandon Vallorani, wanted to know if Trump and his policies reflected Jesus and His teachings. What you're about to read is their findings on Trump's governance and how it squares with Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Inside you'll find ¿-Would Jesus ever choose someone, with less than stellar past, to be a leader?-Would Jesus be cool with how Trump blasts CNN, The Left, and his feckless 'compadres' on The Right?-What about Health Care? Would the Great Physician give Trump's opposition to ObamaCare the 'two thumbs up?'-Oh, and here's a dicey topic: Immigration. Would the Son of Man be in opposition with President Trump's position on our southern border?-Also, was Jesus just the socialist hippie that Leftists purport Him to be?These and other pertinent policies are all tackled, using the sieve of The Gospels, to examine Trump's presidency, heretofore. What you'll find here might shock you. It might anger you. It might bless you. One thing's for certain: we guarantee ¿ it'll definitely make you think.

How Would Jesus Vote? by Dr. D. James Kennedy,Jerry Newcombe Pdf

The 2008 election is shaping up to be one of the most important political contests in American history. In fact, Dr. D. James Kennedy believes it will be a watershed moment that could impact our very survival as a nation under God. Values voters–people whose political views and votes are based on their faith in God–are being targeted as never before. As we move forward in the campaign season, the significant players will debate terrorism, radical Islam, nuclear threats, global warming, social issues, gay marriage, immigration, education, health care, and many other essential issues that can create sharp ideological divisions. Into this overwhelmingly complex political situation, Dr. Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe bring a clear, compelling, and nonpartisan exploration of what God’s Word has to say on these critical matters. How Would Jesus Vote? isn’t intended to tell you which candidates to support; rather it offers you a Christ-centered understanding of the world to help you draw your own political conclusions. This election, don’t cast an uninformed vote that fails to reflect your values. Instead, learn how to apply your faith and obedience to God to your ballot. This timely, helpful, and hopeful book will enable you to do just that.

Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

Jesus and the Donald by Andrew Clark Pdf

American Christians are tempted to vote for Donald Trump as the perceived "lesser of two evils", but do the teachings of Christ permit us to do this? Andrew Clark answers this question by analyzing Trump's profession of faith, his ego, "America First", his stance on abortion, his view on war, and multiple marriages in the light of Scripture. He concludes by calling Christians to examine their own hearts to be sure they aren't idolizing Trump or any other candidate over Jesus. Far from a political diatribe, this book presents the devastating case against Trump in order to give Christian voters a clear understanding of their choice between Jesus and The Donald.

Jesus in the White House by Gina Messina Pdf

In a nation where the majority of Evangelical and Catholic populations elected Donald J. Trump to the highest office in the land, many have been left scratching their heads. How did Jesus' teachings result in a leader of the free world who has mocked the disabled, sexually assaulted women, and openly made racist and xenophobic statements?If Jesus was President, how would his policies measure up against those of the Trump Administration? Would Christians of the Trump Era support a President Jesus or vote him out after a single term? Arguing that Jesus was highly political, Messina uses sharp wit and humor to present his positions on social policy based on the Gospels while making comparisons to President Donald Trump and the GOP who often invoke his name.

Choosing Donald Trump by Stephen Mansfield Pdf

The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him. Perhaps the biggest question on many people's minds is how, exactly, did a crass, unrepentant reality TV star and cutthroat business tycoon secure the majority of the religious conservative vote? Now the New York Times bestselling author of The Faith of George W. Bush and The Faith of Barack Obama turns his pen toward the Trump phenomenon. Through meticulous research and personal interviews, Stephen Mansfield uncovers who Trump's spiritual influences have been and explains why Christian conservatives were attracted to this unlikely candidate. The book ends with a reflection on the vital role of prophetic distance, both historically and now.

Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne,Chris Haw Pdf

Jesus for President is a radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people "set apart" from this world. In what can be termed lyrical theology, Jesus for President poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message. It is a collaboration of Shane Claiborne's writing and stories, Chris Haw's reflections and research, and Chico Fajardo-Heflin's art and design. Drawing upon the work of biblical theologians, the lessons of church history, and the examples of modern-day saints and ordinary radicals, Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the Church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar. A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of "Should I vote or not?" and "Which candidate?" by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance. It's written for those who seek to follow Jesus, rediscover the spirit of the early church, and incarnate the kingdom of God.

Jesus Would Vote for a Black President by Peter Opa Pdf

We've been told America is a Christian country. Yet, we've all heard the misguided assumption that "America is not ready for a black president." In a country of racial diversity like the U.S., leadership must transcend race. Jesus Christ is not prejudiced. Therefore, denying votes to somebody because of their skin color raises serious questions about American Christianity. If (white) Christians are so prejudiced against the black man in America, why do they send bibles and missionaries to preach the love of God in Africa? America is not ready for a black president, but is ready to share her Jesus with Africans? Christians would not vote for a black president, but would share communion with black people? How about if, in response to the prayer for a "God-fearing" president, God chooses a black person to lead the country? Dealing with these issues in a way that will move America forward and salvage her image are the thrust of this book.

Who Would Jesus Vote For by Matthew Henderson Pdf

Who Would Jesus Vote For gets to the heart of the matter of how Christians should be voting. Realizing that there are still many Christians who simply vote the wrong way or not at all, Matt Henderson felt compelled to show why Jesus would indeed take the time to vote, and that He would vote a particular way. Laying out the case based on principles from the Bible, Matt Henderson shows you which political party would capture Jesus' vote. In this unapologetic book of showing why Jesus would vote a certain way, he also calls on Christians to exercise their Biblical duty to vote. He points out that when Christians do not vote, it is equivalent to disobeying God and often results in outcomes that will have a negative influence on our American culture. He rips apart the religious left and their socialist slant, points to the party responsible for today's activist judges, and shows just who the real extremists are in the political world. He does more than just talk about the issues that should be important to all Christians, with confidence he answers the question of who Jesus would vote for. Who Would Jesus Vote For debunks the myth that God is neutral and does not care about politics. It is hard-hitting and the conclusions drawn are straight to the point. No doubt this book will draw fire from many in the world of politics. This book may be just as controversial today as Jesus was in His day. Look inside and see-just who would Jesus vote for?

God, Trump, and the 2020 Election by Stephen E. Strang Pdf

From the best-selling author of God and Donald Trump, which was brandished by the president at the World Economic Forum in Davos What’s at stake in this election? EVERYTHING. In 2016 God raised up Donald Trump to lead America at a pivotal time. Evangelicals who recognized this backed him more than any other presidential candidate in history. Heading into 2020, the stakes in his reelection are even higher. This election, nine months after this book releases, is a new fight for the soul of America. Stephen E. Strang makes the case that God wants America to be great because God has raised up America—beginning with our Founding Fathers—to be a beacon of light and hope for the world. We’ve been the nation with religious liberty that has supported those who have spread the gospel around the world. In this book Strang looks at the election, Trump, and America from a spiritual perspective and helps Christians (and others) see God’s hand at work. This book is as much about God and His purposes as about Donald Trump. But it is also an articulate, impassioned apologetic about why all Christians must support this imperfect president, because he has God’s blessing and because the destiny of America is riding on his reelection. This book also explores why he might lose, if his base is overconfident and doesn’t vote or if his opponents are dishonest enough to steal the election. God, Trump, and the 2020 Election is an inside look at how the political climate is affected by spiritual warfare—an important subject for Bible-believing Christians. The satanic schemes are so brazen on key issues that the book was written to explain what’s at stake. Strang believes that the intersection of faith and politics needs to be part of the national discussion about the division in our country. Other Books By Stephen E.

How Should Christians Vote? by Tony Evans Pdf

Christians are a large and influential voting block today. But as each governmental election approaches, an increasing polarity occurs within those claiming the Christian faith. This comes as a result of party-voting rather than voting according to Biblical mandates and authority. To refocus correctly, Dr. Tony Evans goes back to the basics and teaches on how God established government as a divine institution whose tasks include promoting the well-being of those within its realm and protection from evil. Scripture trumps all political alliances making the voting decision a critical opportunity for Christians to promote God's Word and His values through whom they elect. In the face of increasing emotions the Christians representing God's kingdom values should communicate His truths in a manner reflective of the King - in a gracious and strategic way. Dr. Evans also looks at the necessary qualities in a good candidate which include intellect, education, competency, skill and spiritual beliefs - whether certain issues are non-negotiables, and how a responsible citizen is to research a candidates' position in order to evaluate it against God's Word.

Who Would Jesus Vote For? by Philip J. Gentlesk Pdf

The year 2020 will be known for many circumstances this year, but one of them being that of it being an election year during a time of unrest.During a time of civil discontent, heightened by a global pandemic, the question remains of who will step up as president (and government representatives) to lead the United States to recovery, reconciliation, and renewal?In the new book, Who Would Jesus Vote For?, author Phil Gentlesk uses the pages of the Bible to help in displaying how much the current Democratic party has drifted from its foundations as the "party of the working man."Recalling his first election memories of President Eisenhower winning his election, Phil remembers learning about the candidates and what they stood for, while seeing what his community was looking at most for their next leader of the free world. This thrill for election time is what inspired him to write Who Would Jesus Vote For?, knowing there would be young Americans voting for the first time this year who might be overwhelmed by the politics and social situations happening around them.Phil shares with readers that the election should be seen as a spiritual battle as well as a political battle, offering perspectives on how the current Democratic party has spiritual conflicts that those who are believers in God should be aware of when casting their ballots.The story of David comes to mind to Phil as a story God uses to show readers a leader chosen by God acts on His truths and knows what is the right thing to do. David wasn't told to kill the giant Goliath, but knew inside this was right in God's eyes.For the year 2020, make your vote count by choosing the candidate that will do what is right and glorify God instead of glorify himself.

The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump by Ronald J. Sider Pdf

What should Christians think about Donald Trump? His policies, his style, his personal life? Thirty evangelical Christians (listed below) wrestle with these tough questions. They are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. They don't all agree, but they seek to let Christ be the Lord of their political views. They seek to apply biblical standards to difficult debates about our current political situation. Vast numbers of white evangelicals enthusiastically support Donald Trump. Do biblical standards on truth, justice, life, freedom, and personal integrity warrant or challenge that support? How does that support of President Trump affect the image of Christianity in the larger culture? Around the world? Many younger evangelicals today are rejecting evangelical Christianity, even Christianity itself. To what extent is that because of widespread evangelical support for Donald Trump? Don't read this book to find support for your views. Read it to be challenged--with facts, reason, and biblical principles. With contributions from: Michael W.
