Apathy On Voting From Evangelicals Opens The Door To Leftist Wolves In Pastors’ Clothing

A recent poll by Dr George Barna at Arizona Christian University is not a good sign.

The polls result show that 41 million born-again Christians are unlikely to vote this coming November in what I believe is really our Flight 93 election.

Apathy among Christian voters could be “a gamechanger” this election, according to Barna.

The research shows that this election season is marked by a significant drop in voter enthusiasm, particularly among Christian voters who have historically been key players in determining the outcome of presidential races, he said.

An even more chilling statistic is that a number of pastors have avoided any kind of real Biblical teaching of their flocks when it comes to voting Biblically. I’m sure a lot of this has to do with how the Democrat run Corrupt Corporate Media disparages any prominent pastor who takes a Biblical stand on issues facing the culture, making others afraid to follow against what our modern culture is promoting today.

When there is a vacuum like this in evangelical churches, you can bet there will be wolves in sheep’s clothing to fill that void. Like the serpent in Genesis 3, they utter the words “Did God really say….?”

Satan has been working overtime in many evangelical churches over the last 20 years, because he knows it is the last remaining stalwart in the Left’s complete takeover of American culture. Many of today’s churches have been filled with effeminate pastors who want to appear “hip”, with sermons sound like a motivational “TED Talk.” In the attempt to not appear “divisive” or “intolerant,” too many pastors who have had good intentions have gone down the route of Tim Keller’s misguided “Third Way” approach. Instead of providing moral clarity for voting. It essentially helps believers who may or may not pay attention to politics rationalize a vote for things God would not affirm by the logic that they are not voting on “one issue.”

During the last two election seasons, these authors of moral confusion write books like “The Ballot and the Bible,” “Before the Booth,” “Before You Vote,” and “The After Party” small group study. The whole purpose behind these books/studies are to muddy the waters when it comes to voting by creating a moral confusion. Many of these authors mix truth with a lot of error, a dose of shaming conservative Christians, and some of what Allie Beth Stuckey wrote about called “Toxic Empathy.” The end result are evangelical Christians being shamed for holding conservative views, based on Biblical understanding. They then either withdraw from voting, or decide to vote for a Leftist hostile to a Biblical worldview, because they’ve been told that a certain GOP candidate is “immoral” “bigoted,” or “doesn’t value people.”

Is it any wonder that, despite the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, there has been confusion instead of a unified message from the pro-life community and the church? Far too many churches, like the ACNA church I attended, have adopted the Keller-esque “Third Way” argument that being “pro-life” is more than being “anti-abortion.” To these people, gun control, racism, poverty, and gloBULL warming are also “life issues.” This is intentional confusion by Leftist “ministers” who are not Biblical but are instead “Utopians.” They look at the fallen state of this sinful world (mass murder with guns, ethnic partiality, worship of the creation instead of the Creator, etc.) and compare that to what has been the most evil and divisive issue since slavery—legalizing the murder of the unborn—all in an attempt to create a “moral equivalence” in an attempt to rationalize a vote for the party who has an unquenchable thirst for the blood of the unborn.

One example is Matt Chandler, who is one depiction of the effeminate pastor I talked about earlier. Here he is trying to play the “both parties are bad” and use revisionist history by making erroneous claim that the GOP only took up the abortion fight because it was losing elections and did so to manipulate the Christian vote.

Another example is David Platt, who posted this video yesterday on X essentially shaming American evangelicals by claiming if they really believed the Bible, why would they ignore “the 3 billion in the world who have never heard the Gospel.”

For good Biblical alternatives to why a Believer should vote this year, may I suggest the following.

As well as this episode of the Just Thinking Podcast. One take away I would point out from this podcast that should be pondered as we get closer to November 5 are the words from R.C. Sproul:

“But a Christian, I’m convinced, is called to seek the mind of Christ. To seek in understanding of his or her own world from the viewpoint of the eternal. To see things as best as wel possibly can, the way God would view them. So that the things we affirm are the things that God affirms, and the things we deny would be the things God denies.
