WILL CHRISTIANS VOTE OR LET AMERICA FALL?
_My personal appeal to my Christian friends _
Friends,
Most of you know I am a Lebanese Christian who, by God’s grace, was
able to escape a life of terror under radical Islamic militants and
build a new life here in America. But the freedom I found is now in
peril.
In Lebanon, my family and I lived for years in a 10 x 8 dirt-floored,
bomb shelter after my home was bombed, burying me under the rubble
wounded. I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LOSE EVERYTHING. That’s why I
urge you—my Christian brothers and sisters—to not only pray for
our country but act to save it. Because if we don’t, our children
and grandchildren may live under threats and terror, just as I did.
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO SHARE MY STORY WITH THOUSANDS OF CONGREGATIONS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SPREADING THE MESSAGE OF FAITH, HOPE, AND THE NEED
FOR ACTION. The organization I founded is called _Act for
America_—not “Hope for America” or “Pray for America,”
because while prayer is essential, God calls us to _act_. James 2:26
tells us that “faith without works is dead.” In the same way, our
belief in justice, freedom, and righteousness must be backed by
action.
HOWEVER, ONE TRUTH CONTINUES TO BREAK MY HEART: MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS
IN THIS COUNTRY DON’T VOTE. I didn’t believe it at first, but when
I heard President Trump say time and again, “We have to get the
Christians to vote,” it started to sink in. If we don’t step up,
evil prevails. I’ve met so many of you who love this country, but
somehow this crucial step—voting—gets left out.
STATISTICS TELL US THAT AROUND 55 MILLION CHRISTIANS DIDN’T VOTE IN
THE LAST ELECTION. How can that be? How can so many who profess faith
in God choose to remain silent as our country groans under immoral
leadership, skyrocketing crime, and threats to our very way of life?
Proverbs 29:2 reminds us, “When the righteous thrive, the people
rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” America is
groaning, and it’s because too many of us have abandoned our duty to
elect righteous leaders who share our values, or at least those most
closely aligned.
TO MY EVANGELICAL FRIENDS WHO REPRESENT 12% OF THE COUNTRY OR 41M; Did
you know that only 60% or 24.6M are registered to vote, and only 75%
or 18.5M vote? THAT’S RIGHT, LESS THAN HALF OF EVANGELICAL’S
VOTE.
THE PROBLEMS WE FACE ARE MONUMENTAL—CRIME, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION,
INFLATION, AND MORAL DECAY.
BUT AS SOMEONE WHO’S LIVED THROUGH THE WORST OF TIMES, I’M TELLING
YOU, THINGS CAN GET MUCH WORSE. When my village in Lebanon was
bombarded daily by snipers and bombs, we had no choice but to survive.
The freedom to vote and choose righteous leaders wasn’t even on the
table—it was survival. IF YOU’VE LOST FAITH IN THE SYSTEM OR THE
POLITICAL PROCESS, I URGE YOU, _DON’T GIVE UP_.
GOD HAS BLESSED THIS NATION, BUT WITH THAT BLESSING COMES
RESPONSIBILITY. As a Representative Republic, we are accountable for
the leaders we allow to rise to power through action or inaction. The
future of this country and the security of the next generation depend
on it.
PLEASE REGISTER TO VOTE, VERIFY YOUR REGISTRATION, AND PREPARE TO VOTE
YOUR VALUES WHILE ENCOURAGING EVERYONE AROUND YOU TO DO THE SAME.
STATISTICALLY, EVERY OTHER CHRISTIAN YOU KNOW IS NOT PLANNING TO VOTE,
BUT I BELIEVE THEY WILL STEP UP IF WE ARE WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME TO
LIFT THEM UP AND ASK FOR THEIR HELP IN THIS LATE HOUR!
