The reason facts don’t change most peoples opinions is because most people don’t use facts to form their opinions. They use their opinions to form their facts.
We must think theologically, and not emotionally or even logically.

“Our job as Pastors is not to cheer you on all the time, but to irritate the carnality and flesh things that are inside of us.”
James Ward Jr.
Truth is hard to find right now - so we MUST go to the Word.
We shouldn’t be playing for one team or the other. We need to be KINGDOM Voters. NO allegiance to a team, allegiance ONLY to the Kingdom of God.
Put first the kingdom of God - or HIS way of doing things…
Kingdom voting elevates God’s principles and ways of doing things over our own preferences & desires. This election should not be about personalities, or even a person. It’s about having Godly principles established into Government that could last for decades to come.

First of all - let’s clarify our role in this. We stand as your pastors, and not just as two people who have opinions on this.
This is our God given job description….
2 Timothy 4:2-5 AMP
Preach the word [as an official messenger]; be ready when the time is right and even when it is not [keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient, whether welcome or unwelcome]; correct [those who err in doctrine or behavior], warn [those who sin], exhort and encourage [those who are growing toward spiritual maturity], with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. But as for you, be clear-headed in every situation [stay calm and cool and steady], endure every hardship [without flinching], do the work of an evangelist, fulfill [the duties of] your ministry. '
