Thank you Christopher, I think that it is important for Christians to make a stand for truth and justice for all! Those who follow Jesus must make it clear as to which candidate that would be and clearly speak for that person. Trump is NOT for truth and justice!

As a European, I'd encourage anyone reading this to remember the world is your neighbour. For example, as shown in last week's debate, there is a marked difference between the candidates on Ukraine. Trump capitulates to and is manipulated by Putin. Living in the UK in a city with a small Ukrainian refugee population, knowing Putin has assassinated his rivals on our soil and risked thousands of deaths. A vote for Trump or an abstain is not neighbourly to my home.

Michael Jensens’s “Subjects and Citizens” is the contemporary classic in this space:

Wonderful exegesis with a hermeneutic that graciously balances orthodoxy with orthopraxis.
