The Crawford Stand, with the president of Crawford Media Group, Don Crawford. There comes the most important and critical elections which our beloved America has ever encountered. Elections 2024 will determine the future, the heart and the soul of America for decades to come. I hope and pray that you are well aware of that fact and that you will vote. You American citizen and person of faith should, you must vote in this election. Will you not? You must. If you are Christian and you wish to protect your faith, the freedom you have to enjoy and practice your religion, and the free speech guaranteed by the Constitution, you have no other choice. You must vote. You must. Troy Miller, president and CEO of the National Religious Procesters, the NRB, says unequivocally and emphatically, Christians have a moral and ethical duty to vote November 5. Hear that again. A moral and an ethical duty. It’s not optional to vote November 5. Miller says that a Christian really has no choice but to vote. There is no option not to vote, for there is a moral, Christian duty to vote. So my fellow Americans, legal citizens and Christians, you will vote November 5. Will you not? Troy Miller goes on to state the following. It’s time to get millions of evangelical voters to the polls. How is it ever? In this election there are seven so-called swing states. The votes in which states and the electoral college numbers, pundits say, will determine the election. Perhaps. But listen to this tragic statistic. It was estimated that in elections 2020 an estimated year ready for this seven million evangelicals in those seven swing states did not participate in the election, did not vote. To me that is a shocking, frustrating and tragic statistic. And it is, says Miller, one inexcusable, unpatriotic, uncarrying, un-Christian abandonment of civic duty and concern and love for America. And of course the freedom of the Christian faith we hold so dear. Boy I sure agree with that. Dr. James Dobson, he of family talk fame, is greatly concerned for the future of America and the outcomes of elections 2024. Dobson also agrees fully as do his cohorts, Michelle Bachman and Gary Baller, that America is on the path to destruction. If evangelical Christians, that is real Christians, biblical Christians do not vote and vote right and inform for the very best candidates. So you will vote. Will you not? You must vote if you care for America. And here the words of candidate for President Donald Trump. Our enemies are waging war on freedom, says Trump, on freedom and faith, on science and religion, on history and tradition, on law and democracy, on the family, on children, on America itself. You know, it may be a little bit overstated, but I agree with that. Do you? Do you? It really is simply tragic to learn how many real Christians, so-called evangelicals, Bible believing and Christian faith practicing Christians, have not voted, and some who do not intend to vote in 2024. Why? Why? That is absolutely tragic, almost sabotaged to our great country and an utter and total disrespect for the freedoms, the lifestyle and the American way we all enjoy. And which so many take for granted. Do you take your freedoms and your way of life, your lifestyle? Do you take any or all of that for granted or I hope and pray not? But progressive, liberal thought and activism have contaminated the mainstream of American life and culture. And in the words of Franklin Graham, hear these words carefully, “So much so that once unthinkable abominations,” says Graham, “such as same sex marriage, abortion on demand, and transgender advocacy have become dogma in one major party’s platform.” Want a guess which one? That political party is of course not Republican. I wonder if you can guess which party that would be? Various and considerable strong biblical, god-fearing evangelical leaders have said unequivocally that a vote for Harris-Waltz or Democrat senators or Congresspersons is indeed a vote for unlimited abortion and transgender advocacy and the curtailing of freedom of speech and religion and the growth and power of all governments everywhere and the drift of America towards socialism and even Marxism itself. Unbelievable what could happen in America as these elections unfold 2024? I hope and pray you will be a part of them. The Bible clearly teaches that governments are ordained by God to restrain evil and enable righteousness to flourish. There are some in government that don’t believe that and if they are elected, they don’t practice that. And so Franklin Graham again states unequivocally, “That’s why Christians must carefully pray and vote again. That’s why Christians should carefully pray and vote. And if you are a Christian, you do intend to vote. Do you not?” Like Troy Miller of NRB and James Dopson and so many other evangelical leaders, Graham really believes it is the moral duty of a Christian to vote, to protect America and to elect the best possible candidates for office. Not those who are perfect, not candidates you like, but those who will do the right things for America. And so my fellow Christians, my fellow Americans, legal citizens, you will vote. Well, you must vote. You must. The senatorial voting and the gubernatorial decision making of Harris and Waltz leads so many Christian leaders to state the following. Can any thinking well-informed Christian vote for any Democrat? Democrats who believe in the spouse, those kinds of things, can you vote for that? Given what this party, the Democrat Party stands for, its platform, its policies, its beliefs, its practice, what Harris truly is, and what she really believes, which you may not be hearing, and what she will inevitably do, should she be elected president, will result in the most anti-Christian, religious persons of faith political administration in the history of our country. So Christians have a duty, I think, and so many others do as well. Have a duty to do everything humanly possible to prevent that from happening. Will you vote, 2024 Christian? Please vote. Protect your constitutional freedoms. Stand up for what is morally right, traditionally American, and biblical truth stand up. You and so many others, literally millions of Bible believing real Christians can in fact determine the outcome, up and down the ballots of elections, 2024. You can do that. Your vote matters. So never forget the admonitions of Troy Miller, Franklin Graham, and James Thompson. You must vote, 2024. You must. Will you? Oh, I hope and pray you will.
