Dear Christian voter,
How can we expect our nation—under God, with liberty and justice for all—to live under the blessing of our Creator while the most vulnerable among us are trafficked and slaughtered under the cover of a barbaric and savage silence?
What we refuse to see, He sees clearly. What we turn our hearts from, He does not overlook. And on the day of His righteous judgment, we will be held accountable.
Every generation has its moral blind spot. In William Wilberforce’s day, it was the slave trade—an evil so profitable, so socially accepted, and so deeply woven into public life that many preferred not to look directly at it. Yet Wilberforce did look. He saw the suffering. He understood the moment. And he gave his life to the great work before him: the suppression of slavery and the reformation of manners, meaning Christian morals.
Were Wilberforce alive today, he would recognize abortion as the defining moral crisis of our age. He would not treat it as a secondary issue, a private discomfort, or a political inconvenience. He would see it as a matter of life, justice, mercy, and obedience before God.
The question before us is not whether every political issue matters. Many do. Immigration policy matters. Education matters. Healthcare matters. Poverty matters. Public safety matters. But moral triage requires us to recognize emergencies as emergencies. When innocent human life is destroyed, we cannot treat that reality as just one concern among many.
A house may have many repairs that need attention. But when there is a child bleeding on the floor, the first duty is not to debate the paint color, the furniture, or the landscaping. The first duty is to stop the bleeding.
So it must be with our public witness.
Christians must not allow party loyalty, cultural pressure, personal comfort, or secondary political interests to eclipse the clear commands of Christ: defend the weak, protect the innocent, love our neighbor, speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, and refuse to participate in deeds of darkness.
This is not a call to worship politics. It is a call to bring even our politics under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Politics is a practical application of theology. It can reveal and expose what we truly believe.
A vote is not merely a preference. It is a moral act. It reveals what we are willing to defend, what we are willing to tolerate, and what we are willing to ignore. No candidate, party, or platform is the kingdom of God. We must think clearly. We must pray deeply. We must measure every issue, every party, every candidate, and every policy by the Word of God—not by tribal loyalty, fear of man, or the spirit of the age.
The church must recover its moral courage. We cannot condemn the sins of past generations while excusing the bloodshed of our own. We cannot honor Wilberforce in history while refusing to imitate his clarity in the present. We cannot claim to love justice while remaining silent about the most defenseless lives among us.
What we refuse to see, God sees.
What we ignore, God remembers.
And one day, every nation, every ruler, every voter, and every silent witness will stand before the righteous Judge of all the earth.
May we be found faithful.
May our consciences be captive to Christ.
Pastor Bryan
