Petition: Pro-Life Petition
https://lifepetitions.com/petition/trump
“To: Donald J. Trump
Congratulations on winning the presidency! After eight years of the most pro-abortion [Murder] presidency in U.S. history, I am thrilled that the highest office of the land will now be used to defend the right to life of all U.S. citizens—including the innocent unborn. As such, I encourage you to follow through on the pro-life promises that you made during the campaign without delay. I also want you to know that you will have my support for any and all pro-life initiatives that you take as president, particularly when the going gets tough and you face opposition.
In particular, I encourage you to sign the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, to defund Planned Parenthood [Murderhood], and—if and when the opportunity arises—to nominate staunchly pro-life Supreme Court justices [All federal court appointments].
I would also strongly encourage you to follow through on your pro-life convictions by: re-enacting the Mexico City Policy, thereby banning U.S. funding from paying for or supporting abortions [Murders] overseas; repealing the oppressive HHS mandate; attending in person the annual March for Life in Washington D.C.; banning government funding of destructive research on human embryos; ensuring that judicial appointments at all levels of the court system are pro-life; and re-evaluating [Change] your personal support for abortion [Murder] in the cases of rape and incest [and when the “mother’s life is endangered” which is a false line of reasoning.].
In addition, I will stand with you as you to take steps to defend religious freedom, which has been under continuous assault these past 8 years, by repealing the Johnson Amendment, and protecting the conscience rights of civil servants, teachers, businesses, and all others.
Finally, I pledge to pray for you, that you may be given the strength, conviction, and courage to fight for the right to life of the unborn and for religious freedom despite the strenuous opposition that you are likely to face in the coming months and years.”
Call to action: Defund Planned Murderhood
https://www.sba-list.org/defund-planned-parenthood
“In 2016 the Pro-Life Movement took action, voting to keeping our pro-life majorities in the House and Senate and electing a pro-life president. We did our part. Now it’s their turn to take action and remove all tax dollars from America’s abortion giant, Planned Parenthood [Murderhood].
We, the undersigned, people of all backgrounds, creeds, and party affiliations, call on our elected officials to Defund Planned Parenthood [Murderhood]. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund America’s largest abortion [Murder] business with their tax dollars. Abortion [Murder] is not healthcare. We call for these funds to instead be directed to life-affirming community health centers.
President-Elect Trump and the Republican Party platform have called for taxpayer dollars to be stripped from the abortion [Murder] giant. We therefore call on The House and Senate to send legislation defunding Planned Parenthood [Murderhood] to the president’s desk at the earliest opportunity.”

I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative.
Update on the 2016 Congressional election:
The last election results occurred in Louisiana on Saturday. These were runoff elections where no candidate received 50 + 1 percent of the vote in the primary which was held on election day. The Senate seat was contested and two House seats were contested. All three were won by Republicans. Therefore the new Congress for 2017-2018 will consist of the following:
Senate:
Republicans: 52 members (loss of 2 seats. Lost Illinois and New Hampshire which were expected. The two Senators who lost had 2 of the 3 lowest Conservative Review scores of any Republican Senators up for reelection. The Republicans had 24 seats up for reelection and lost only two of the three most liberal/Leftist members. The Democrats had 10 seats up for reelection. They could have lost Colorado but establish Republican leadership refused to help a conservative Republican to defeat a radical Democrat. The leadership works harder to defeat a conservative than to defeat Democrats. Why is that?)
http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CO/63746/184388/Web01/en/summary.html
“Donald J. Trump / Michael R. Pence (Republican) 1,202,484 equals 43.25%”
“Darryl Glenn (Republican) 1,215,318 equals 44.31%”
Darryl Glenn received more votes than and a higher percentage than Donald Trump in Colorado. Yet, the Republican establishment leadership refused to support him. As a result, they lost another Senate seat for another six years!
The Republicans won four of the seven Congressional Districts.
Democrats: 48 members (gain of 2 seats)
House of Representatives 218 majority (2017-2018)
Republicans: 241 members (loss of 6 seats)
Democrats: 194 members (gain of 6 seats)

“Should Christian Leaders Stay Out of Politics [NO!]?
Michael Brown | 12/14/2016
Is it dangerous for Christian leaders to mix politics and religion [No more so than mixing religion and anything else! Christians are supposed to be engaged in the world while not being of the world! We are not to be monks secluded in monasteries!]? Is that a confusion of their calling? Or is it important for Christian leaders to address all areas of life [Of course! I know of no scriptures that even remotely says that we should eschew politics!], including politics?
I have had to address this question myself, since I might be preaching in a church service one day, teaching in a Bible school the next and talking politics on the radio the next (or sometimes doing all three in one day). How should we conduct ourselves as religious leaders?
If Donald Trump as president keeps his word and successfully repeals the Johnson Amendment, which has greatly muzzled religious political speech [Only because we have allowed it. It is clearly unconstitutional. Also, I know of no instance where it has been successfully used in a court of law. However, it has been used to intimidate!], this question will become all the more relevant for Christian leaders in America.
What exactly is our role?
It so happened that on the same day, in response to the same article, some old friends expressed their disapproval of my commenting on political issues. One posted on Facebook, ‘I remain disappointed that you continue to focus on politics Mike. Your mandate is higher! God’s purpose for you and Christian leaders is [God’s] Kingdom not this world. Leave that to others [Leave that to people who are not Christians? Then how can a nation be righteous? Proverbs 14: 34 (NIV) “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” For a nation to be righteous its people and its leaders need to be righteous. Right now, we have leaders supporting and promoting the sins of abortion/murder and homosexual behavior, among others. No righteousness there! Only condemnation! To be righteous, we need righteous people in leadership positions!]!’
Another emailed, asking, ‘Are you sure you want to cross over to being a daily political commentator, rather than speak[ing] primarily to spiritual issues?’
Neither of these men is a critic, and both wrote in friendly tones, but the thrust of their message was clear: To write political commentaries is to detract from my higher, spiritual calling.
I’m confident they would say this to other spiritual leaders as well.
In stark contrast, I hear from readers and listeners on a regular basis who thank me—sometimes with tears—for addressing moral, cultural and political issues, in particular, for doing so as a follower of Jesus who uses the Bible as his grid [Which is the only true reference for righteousness. What? You expected me to say the koran? I’m a Christian. The Bible is the Word of GOD!].
One man posted on Facebook that during the elections, ‘The only media voice I listened [to] for counsel was Dr. Brown.’
Another wrote, ‘Dr. Brown, I am greatly appreciative that you are engaging the political arena. It seems that a fair amount of Christian leaders shy away from the political spectrum due to a fear of losing their audience. If we want to see [moral] change in this country, then we as Christians need to engage the political system [Absolutely agree. And, more importantly, it is our Christian responsible to be involved. If Christians won’t, who will? Non-Christians and we have witnessed the consequences of that for the last seven plus years. As I wrote in 2007-2008, corrupt Chicago (another Chicago alderman just got indicted which is just the tip of the iceberg), corrupt Illinois (three former Illinois governors sent to prison which is just the tip of the iceberg). If Barack Hussein Obama is elected President, it will be corrupt United States which has occurred including a corrupt Department of Injustice and a corrupt IRS.]. Encourage Christian leaders to run for office so that light can shine in the darkness of the corrupt leadership that this country has given over to itself.’
Which perspective is right? Would Paul or Peter or John have gotten involved in the presidential elections? Would they have endorsed a candidate or advised a candidate or commented on the various party platforms? Would they have even voted [I believe they would have. They may have even run for office. There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that precludes political involvement. The Jewish people, who were the precursor to the Christian church, had kings which include king David [Acts 13: 22 (NIV) “After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do [obedient to GOD!].’” Also included was Joseph, a high official in the Egyptian kingdom; Daniel, a high official in two different kingdoms; and Esther, a Jewish Queen in a gentile kingdom. The first recorded conversion of gentiles in Acts, where the HOLY SPIRIT was given to gentile believers, was a Roman centurion (Roman government military leader), his family, and friends. GOD uses HIS people in government!]?
Some point to Jesus’ comment in John 18 when He said to Pilate shortly before His crucifixion, ‘My kingdom is not of this world’ (John 18: 36). If it were of this world, He explained, then His servants would have been fighting for Him not to be delivered up to His captors.
But in saying this, Jesus hardly meant that we should not be involved in the affairs of this world. After all, feeding the hungry and clothing the poor and educating our children and working our jobs are all ‘of this world.’ Should we stop doing these things and simply go on a mountaintop to pray, waiting for the Lord’s return? (Of course, we’d soon have to figure out how to get food and where to sleep—all issues of this world.)
In reality, what Jesus was saying was this: ‘My kingship does not derive its authority from this world’s order of things. If it did, my men would have fought to keep me from being arrested by the Judeans [And they would have won! Matthew 26: 53 (NIV) “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?”]. But my kingship does not come from here’ (John 18: 36, CJB [Complete Jewish Bible]).
What about Philippines 3: 20, where Paul wrote that ‘But our citizenship is in heaven, from where also we await for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ’?
Interestingly, it was this same Paul who, at strategic times, invoked the fact that he was a citizen of Rome, assuring he would receive better treatment than a common criminal (see, for example, Acts 16: 35-39; 21: 37-39).
His point in Philippines 3 had to do with those who lived with a fleshly, earthly carnality (see Philippines 3: 18-19), and he was saying to his readers, ‘You are not like them! You are a heavenly people living in this world.’
In the same way, Peter wrote, ‘Dearly beloved, I implore you as aliens and refugees, abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul’ (1 Peter 2: 11).
We are passing through this world, and it is not our eternal home, so we must not get entangled with worldly, carnal desires, which war against our souls. We should be above such things.
But that doesn’t meant that we don’t fight against injustice or champion the cause of the needy, nor does it mean that we remain silent on important political and social issues [James 4: 17 (NIV) “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ~ Edmund Burke].
After all, slavery was the paramount hot-button, deeply-divisive, political and social issue of the 19th century, yet it would have been wrong for Christian leaders to remain silent on this, just as it’s wrong for Christian leaders [Christians, in general] to remain silent on issues like abortion and homosexual activism today.
I can’t tell you how many times readers and listeners and viewers have talked with me after hearing me speak—again, often with tears in their eyes—thanking me for addressing the divisive cultural issues of the day. These are issues they live with every day—in their homes, in their schools, in their places of business, and they are frustrated when their pastors and teachers fail to give them spiritual guidance to help navigate these troubled waters [Try studying the Bible yourself! Any Christian should get all the answers he needs through the Bible. That’s one of the reasons why the Bible was written and HOLY SPIRIT inspired.].
And this is not just happening in the States. During my annual trip to India earlier this month, pastors in Mumbai specifically asked me to address LGBT [homosexual] issues, while in other international trips in the last few years, Christian leaders in the government have met with me privately (or publicly), asking for input on these same pressing social issues. They want to know what they can do as believers to make a positive impact on their society, and that includes the realm of politics and government [Of course it does! To abandon these areas is to abandon them to non-believers!].
Of course, we can get involved in politics in a partisan way, becoming appendages of a particular political party, which is a real mistake. And we can easily get caught up in a divisive, immature political spirit, which is quite destructive, or we can become obsessed with politics, which would distract us from our larger calling [Or be involved and be corrupted by the power. We must always guard against being co-opted!].
That’s one reason that, on my radio show, we devote certain days to theology and Bible study, while I spend much of my time teaching and preaching in churches and conferences—and not talking about politics.
But there’s nothing stopping us from walking in the Spirit, maintaining an eternal perspective and constructively addressing the political realm. In fact, it behooves us to do so as long as we don’t neglect our primary calling of preaching and teaching the Scriptures. The church needs us to do it and the society needs us to do it.
I’m confident I am not alone in sensing that it pleases God and helps His people when we, as ministry leaders, bring the Word of God to bear on every area of life, politics included [Politics is one of the areas where Christian influence is MOST needed because of the corrupting influence of wealth and power. We need MORE Christian involvement not less!]
Do you agree?”
“Without morals, a republic cannot subsist any length of time.” ~ Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence
Ephesians 5: 11 (NIV)
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
James 2: 20-26 (NIV)
“You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,’ and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
James 4: 17 (NIV)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Proverbs 14: 34 (NIV)
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.”
