Kirk Cameron Calls on Christians to Take Political Action and VOTE for America’s Future

I don’t get why there are Christians that are deciding to sit on the sidelines in this war against good and evil and not vote.

‘Our vote doesn’t count’

Then why are Democrats so determined to interfere with our voting?

Do these Christians want a wicked leader to rule the land?

We need to be like Shammah.

He was a guy who stood his ground to defend his possession against the Philistines.

He fought so hard to defend it, he struck these Philistines down, as in struck down dead.

What was his possession that he was defending so fiercely?

Beans.

Friggin’ beans!

“And next to him was Shammah, the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of beans, and the men fled from the Philistines. But he took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it, and struck down the Philistines, and the Lord worked a great victory.” – 2 Samuel 23:11-12

“And the Lord worked a great victory” Wow. Seems like perhaps God was impressed that Shammah had the gusto to fight for what was his, no matter how small.

Is there anything in your life that you care for more than beans?

If he can make a stand for beans, how much more should we make a stand!

How much more do we have at stake!

And how much more will God work a great victory for us?

And yet, some polls say that 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million other Christians are not planning to vote.

And Kirk Cameron urges them to change their mind for the 2024 election.

He’s sending out the call to get more Christians to stand their ground political and defend the ‘beans’ that our enemies are salivating over and are determined to take (our money, our land, our kids, our families) however they can.

Yes, God sets up one king and puts another down.

But as one pastor put it: Without me, He won’t. Without Him, I can’t.

We have been awakened for such a time as this.

Fox News reports:

Kirk Cameron is urging people of faith to be more politically active, saying America’s freedom and future depends on it.

“[If] the family of faith does not show up and vote their values, well, that just leaves a great big vacuum and others will gladly rush in to fill the void, and then you end up burning the whole thing down from the inside,” he warned.

The actor, author and Christian activist is releasing a new nonfiction novel on Tuesday called “Born to be Brave: How to be a Part of America’s Spiritual Comeback.” Cameron sees the current political and cultural strife as an opportunity for Americans of faith to reclaim their “birthright of courage” and lead the nation in a “spiritual comeback.”

“I believe with all my heart that it is and that God did not create us and rescue us through the Gospel to be cowards,” he told Fox News Digital. “And that we have a birthright of courage, and if we will lean into that courage as people of faith and live out our values and put feet to our faith in love, we can and will realign the nation with Heaven’s values.”

With the presidential election just a few weeks away, that message is especially timely. Cameron explains in his new book how voters should understand how Christianity shaped America’s founding and how the freedoms and values Americans enjoy are dependent on preserving that faith foundation.

“I’m amazed at how many people don’t understand the fundamental principles of how nations and governments are run,” Cameron told Fox News Digital. “Every nation is built on some set of presuppositions; a worldview, a philosophy of life, a value set, a religion.”

“In the words of Noah Webster, who was one of our founding fathers … he said every civil government is based on some religion or philosophy of life, and the education of that nation will propagate the religion of that nation,” Cameron continued. “He said in America that foundational religion was Christianity, and it was sewn into their hearts for two centuries through the home and school, public and private.”

Webster, a famous American educator who published the Blue-Back Speller in 1783, believed that America’s prosperity relied on preserving the nation’s Christian values for future generations, Cameron explained.

“So the whole thing — from the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence — only works if you understand that the foundation needs to be the biblical, moral, spiritual values that the founders were standing on when they wrote it. And if that goes away, the whole thing crumbles.”

Newsweek adds:

Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk warned that millions of born-again and mainline Christians choosing not to vote in the upcoming election could pose a serious threat to Donald Trump’s reelection efforts.

Citing survey data from pollster George Barna, Kirk described the situation as a “five-alarm fire” for Trump, noting that 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million mainline Christians are not planning to vote.

“The local church must be activated to explain why voting is critical,” Kirk wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, urging Christian leaders to rally their congregations to the polls.

“We cannot expect President Trump to have a more Christian ethos if the Church refuses to vote. We cannot expect President Trump to be more pro-life if our own people don’t back him up at the ballot box. The local church MUST be activated,” Kirk said.

Even Matt Walsh put the call out

Every Christian needs to listen to this. Matt Walsh nails it.

You have a moral obligation to vote against this regime. As a Christian you must vote against Kamala Harris. Period. pic.twitter.com/D1x1G7Uwt2
