i am a member of a Bible belt Church of Christ, and i ...

I'll go first.

My identify is Jared Balcom, and i am an energetic member of Sylvan Hills Church of Christ in Sherwood, Arkansas.

i used to be raised in a robust Evangelical Christian family unit, actively participated in my church's formative years group as a teen, and attended a extremely conservative Christian school in the coronary heart of the Bible belt. Now, my wife Jenni and that i are active in quite a lot of ministries inside the Sylvan Hills family.

The previous four or five years has been a period of religious increase and evolution in my lifestyles. right through this time, it has turn into more and more obvious to me that the movements and phrases of Donald Trump directly contradict the movements and teachings of Jesus Christ. it's why on November three, 2020, I could be balloting for the regular first rate through vote casting in opposition t the President and his allies in countrywide, state, and local offices.

For me, the typical first rate potential standing up for the oppressed and the marginalized, as Jesus steered, and loving and respecting every adult in spite of religion, race, socioeconomic repute, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender id. The moves of the president ignore the commonplace first rate and are at once opposite to these of Jesus.

President Trump has mocked americans with disabilities, a controversy it truly is near and costly to my family. He has been credibly accused of- and even bragged about- sexually assaulting girls. he's recorded on video asserting that he doesn't trust he has to ask God for forgiveness. He has shown again and again that he has no regard for the certainty. He many times uses blatant racism and xenophobia to stoke worry of immigrants and refugees. he is obsessed with vigour, and many times uses the office of the presidency for personal and economic benefit. He has refused to support americans of color standing up against police brutality whereas simultaneously refusing to condemn white supremacists who act in his identify. and perhaps most disturbing is his effort to persuade individuals of Christian religion that they have to help him and the Republican celebration with a purpose to be an excellent Christian.

on account of these demanding moves and the dismiss for the regular decent, I should be assisting different candidates dealing with the President and his allies in this upcoming election. i hope that you will be part of me, anything your faith or political birthday celebration, in sharing your motives for voting for the regular first rate this November.

Will you go next?
