I am registered as neither a Republican nor a Democrat. In fact, I have no personal stake in the success of any political party. As a Christian and a minister of the gospel, my goal is to see heaven’s values adopted and lived out by as many people and institutions as possible. Only then can we hope to be a happy nation, for as George Washington declared in his first inaugural address,
“The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the external rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.” (Hyatt, “Pilgrims and Patriots, 2nd Edition,” 174).

Neither political party completely expresses my values, but one of them has turned so far away from the founding principles of this nation and the values I hold that I feel compelled to make a clear statement. The following are three reasons my faith will not allow me to vote for a Democrat.
Reason No. 1: Their Disdain for Bible-Believing Christians
When the then-new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, described himself as a “Bible-believing Christian,” Democrats came unhinged. MSNBC host Jen Psaki called him a “religious fundamentalist” and mocked his faith. The Daily Beast compared the Speaker to the “Taliban and the mullahs in Iran.” Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House, ripped into Johnson, calling him an “extreme, right-wing idealogue.” Others said he was “dangerous” and a “threat to democracy.”
Not a single Democratic leader, including Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, has separated themselves from these atrocious remarks by their colleagues. I must therefore assume that this is how they feel about the millions of Bible-believing Christians in our nation, including me.
