EDWARD D. ANDREWS (AS in Criminal Justice, BS in Religion, MA in Biblical Studies, and MDiv in Theology) is CEO and President of Christian Publishing House. He has authored over 100 books. Andrews is the Chief Translator of the Updated American Standard Version (UASV).
This author actually follows the current affairs and politics all day, seven days a week as he works online. Andrews watches Fox News predominately but he also watches the liberal news like MSNBC and CNN to see what the other side is saying. I read liberal sites like Huffington Post as well as the conservative ones like Michelle Malkin, RealClearPolitics, National Review, and Power Line. My favorite hosts are Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Dana Perino, and Martha MacCallum.
Now, you have an idea of my mindset, my worldview.
Romans 13:1 Updated American Standard Version (UASV)
13 Let every soul[1] be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God, and those that exist have been placed[2]by God.
Does this verse mean that God has miraculously set up and established every governmental authority since the beginning of man? No, not at all. God is indirectly allowed governments to form, meaning that they serve a purpose by their presence. Many governments make some effort to make laws that protect their public. Some governments abuse their power in the extreme, like Adolf Hitler. Obama abused his power in that he willfully contributed to the United States abandoning their biblical Judeo-Christian values and shift toward the liberal progressive worldview. He also willfully weakened the United States ability to protect the world from existing threats. Governmental authorities exist because God has allowed them to exist. In some cases, some leaders use their power to protect religious freedom and promote a biblical worldview. The United States has protected the world for over a century from wicked nations and other threats, spilling much of their people’s blood and treasures. The world has largely been ungrateful. However, this peace that we have had since World War II, has allowed Christians to carry out their evangelism work in relative freedom. – Matthew 24:14; 28:19-20; Acts 1:8.
I think politics is important for two reasons: (1) we are to be subjection to the governing authorities and we need to know who we are being obedient to and if we can vote in the right politicians being obedient can be easier. (2) ….
1 Timothy 2:1-2 Updated American Standard Version (UASV)
2First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, [why?]that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
Certainly, logic dictates that if we are urged to pray for a politician; then, we can clearly act on behalf of our prayer by voting for that politician. Why do we pray and vote for politicians? We vote for politicians that have a track record of passing legislation that will protect religious freedoms while we lead a peaceful and quiet life carrying out the great commission that Jesus gave us.
There are a number of things that create a political worldview. (1) where the person grew up. Just as a person born in a Muslim country is likely to be Muslim and a person born in a Catholic country is likely to be born Catholic, a person born in San Francisco or New York City is likely to be liberal. (2) Just as we send our children to college and universities to watch them come home atheist liberals, what college and university you went to will likely determine your religious and political worldviews. (3) Of course, one’s parents will dictate their worldview as well. (4) What the person feeds their mind on will play a major role in their political and religious views. If they are on Facebook, Twitter and the like, they will be spoonfed liberal ideology in their newsfeed whether they want it or not. If one predominately watches and reads CNN, MSNBC, and Huffington Post, they will lean toward Socialist Democrat. If they watch CBS, ABC, and the Associated Press, they will lean more toward liberal progressive to moderate liberal.
Now, it was very difficult to track down a truly Rightwing conservative politician so I had to go with a commentator. If you are feeding your mind on The Alex Jones show and other YouTube Rightwing shows, it is clear you are going to become radical in your thinking. However, Google, Bing, and Yahoo had many good conservatives (Ben Shapiro, Rush Limbaugh, Dinesh D’souza, and Sean Hannity) listed as a right-wing conservative (which they are not) because social media and internet search engines are pretty much liberal progressive socialist. Certainly, if you watch only Fox News, you are going to have a conservative to a moderate conservative worldview.

The liberal progressive Hollywood, news media, social media, colleges, and universities are pushing society and the Democratic politicians to the socialist left. There is no real rightwing movement in America. It is simply a handful of radical conservatives who have no voice and influence may be a few hundred thousand people out of 370 million.

The vast majority of the United States of America is from moderately conservative to moderately liberal, the middle ground. However, since the rise of Obama and the move toward socialism, America is moving toward true conservativism. The leftwing socialist party, media, social media, and Hollywood are scaring the bejesus out of the armchair American into becoming “woke” as the Democrats like to say but not in the way that they may hope. Those who never cared about politics are now paying close attention and looking to save America from becoming the next Venezuela. What do conservative Christians need to do?
We need to be fully informed. It does not take much time to follow the conservative news and the liberal news a little each day. We need to be concerned about our religious freedoms and what politician is going to fill that need. We need to be “woke” for there is no more time to simply sit back and think nothing ever changes and your vote does not count. There is one opportunity coming in 2020 to reelect Trump who has done more for religious freedom than any before him and retake the Congress with a huge majority. Because one more Supreme Court justice and the United States Supreme court will be conservative leaning for the next 20-30 years. Moreover, if the conservatives can pass laws without needing a Democrat vote, this will mean reinforcing religious freedoms from the legislative branch of government as well. You simply have to decide what kind of America you want.
