By Pastor Matt Trewhella August 2024 I warned, in a sermon back in 2023, that there would be an attempt to ac-
going to continue to get worse if you con- tinue to vote for men who openly impugn the law of God regarding the massive national sins and crimes of shedding innocent blood and the filth of homosex.

Do you understand the dire situation of our na- tion? The place is being burnt to the ground. We are an evil people in America. Our laws and policies and court opin- ions spit in the face of God. And you still want to proffer your situa- tional ethics and prag- matism to justify your voting for men who openly impugn the law and Word of God? The restoration of a na- tion begins by honoring the law of God. It begins with repentance. And the repentance that is pre- cisely needed here, is
imize homosex in the Re- publican Party platform. And now it has happened. The new platform re- moves the goal of a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution re- placing it with the words – “Republicans Will Pro- tect and Defend a Vote of the People, from within the States, on the Issue of Life.” Understand, this means a total abandonment of what a Republic is by the Republican Party. A Re-
public is founded upon law – the Republi- cans have now handed the preborn over to the mob – one group of people voting to mur- der another group of people. Understand also, that in every state so far that has held such a vote, the people have voted to murder the preborn. This is an abandonment of the rule of law. This is an abandonment of the preborn. The new platform also removes the decla- ration that “traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free so- ciety,” and also removes the demand for the “reversal” of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell opinion that declared the mar- riage between those of the same sex to be le- gitimate. Have you noticed over the decades that as we vote for the lesser of two evils, the lesser of two evils just keeps getting more evil? Now the lesser evil has gotten more evil again with these platform changes. We need to realize we cannot join with evil to stop evil. We must quit voting for the lesser of two evils by voting for men who openly impugn the law of God. We must put Christ first — and honor the law and Word of the Lord. We do not bring about good and stop evil by brazenly impugning the law of God. Christians should not vote for murder or for homosex – and that is what we are doing when we vote for men who embrace such evils. We should fear God and stop voting for men who openly impugn His law. I warn you on this. “But things will get worse if we don’t vote for the Republicans!” Truth is, they have been getting worse while you’ve been voting for the Republicans. Things have been getting worse and they’re
King Asa, in 2 Chronicles 16:7-10, looked to wicked men to help him win – and what did the Lord say to Asa through the prophet for doing that? “My wrath is upon you.” The Republicans employ fear – fear that the Democrats will win — to stampede the people into voting for their candidate who often embrace abortion and homosex. And I ask, where is your fear of God? Where is our faithfulness to the Lord? We have forsaken the Lord. And we have forsaken His law. When you forsake His law you have forsaken Him. The Scriptures do equate the two (2 Chronicles 12:1,5). And we ourselves – not just as Americans, but as Christians – have forsaken His law and we have forsaken Him. Psalm 9:17 states, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that for- get God.” Proverbs 28:4 declares, “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.” Men in our day lack bravery and courage. They want to appease and accommodate. And their churchmen help them hide it all behind soft words sold as “spirituality.” Our situation should cause us to humble ourselves before the Lord. Our situation should drive us towards the Lord – not to embrace and proffer cheap political advice. Our situation should cause us not to speak appeasement. Our situation should cause us to
that we quit voting against the law of God. That we honor His law by no longer voting for men who openly impugn His law. As the faithful churchman Charles Spur- geon said, “Of two evils, choose neither.” Repentance is needed. And repentance be- gins by honoring the law of God. “What then is the remedy for the threat- ened destruction of society and for the rap- idly progressing decay of liberty? There really is only one remedy. It is the rediscov- ery of the law of God.” - John Gresham Machen, churchman, professor.
