7 Reasons Scores Are Saying ‘Sayonara’ to the Democratic Party

Just as Nicodemus came under cover of night to check out Jesus (John 3:1-21), is it true more and more Democrats are doing the same with President Trump? Stunning data from his recent Ohio rally revealed almost 43% of the attendees identified as either a Democrat or Independent! Is there a “Dump the Democrats” movement developing as people discover what the Party has become?

1. Is there ever a time when it’s the will of God to leave a church, doing so with integrity and ideally with relationships intact? In fact, our family left a network of churches we helped establish when legalism and authoritarian leadership caused thousands to eventually depart, including a dozen primary leaders.

2. Is there ever a time to responsibly resign from employment in a company because of mounting stress and deleterious effects on one’s health and family? Of course. My father-in-law did just that with his family of 10 transitioning from Pittsburgh to D.C., and I’m glad he did, as God providentially had me there to meet my now wife of almost 44 years.

3. How about shifting from a political party? What about if such a shift represented generations of affiliation and proud identification with their accomplishments and icons?

“A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, The naïve proceed and pay the penalty” (Prov. 27:12, NASB).

“So from that day forward they planned to put Him to death. Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness.” (John 11:53-54a, MEV).

Leave a political party? No question, especially when that party has drifted into extremely dangerous areas that can bring about the destruction of America as she was established (and prospered) for almost two and a half centuries.
