The Number One Issue Christians Should Hear From Clinton and Trump

Christian voters of all types — Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox; liberal or conservative — should be paying close attention to what the candidates are saying (or not saying) about the rising persecution of Christians around the world. The freedom of religious expression is under more pressure than ever before and almost no one is talking about its impact on national security and liberty around the globe. Now is the time for the candidates to put forward plans to address the rising persecution.

For many people of faith, the political convention season may remind you of lyrics of that classic Stealers Wheel song:

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight. I got a feeling that something ain't right. I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair and I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs.


Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here am I stuck in the middle with you. Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you and I'm wondering what it is I should do.


I was in the crowd a few weeks ago when Donald Trump sat down with a group of Evangelical leaders in New York City to explain why Christian voters should cast their ballots for him. Trump was Trump; he's never anything but himself.
