At a political rally in Wisconsin this past week, as presidential candidate Kamala Harris spoke, someone in the crowd shouted out, “Jesus is Lord,” to which Harris responded, with a smile on her face, “I think you are at the wrong rally.” I’m not sure how that makes you feel, but for me, personally, I think it was totally disgusting.
I’m not sure how we are to take her quick response. Was it something that just came to her mind spontaneously? We’ve all had those moments where we heard something and our mouth went into action before our brains kicked in. If you’re like me, you usually regret having said it five seconds after the words come from our mouths. So, maybe it was a knee-jerk reaction Harris made without giving it any thought at all.
Or, perhaps, this was something she was hoping to have an opportunity to say. Maybe she had been rehearsing this quick jab over and over in her mind, waiting for the perfect moment to interject those words into a political arena filled with propagandized rhetoric. We all love those types of opportunities, don’t we? I know I do. I love it when the door is opened for me to share my faith, to give my personal testimony, to share the gospel. We cherish those moments – those divine appointments – when that door swings wide open and we are able to give a quick word about our Lord.
I don’t know if candidate Harris is looking back on that moment with a spirit of pride, and a feeling of accomplishment, or if she is looking back with regret. I, thankfully, am not her judge. However, if I were her judge, my judgment would not be pretty. For anyone to stand in opposition to the clear Biblical teachings on the sanctify of human life is an affront to God Himself. But, that really shouldn’t be surprising to anyone who has listened to Harris, along with her running mate, give words of approval to the taking of innocent lives.
Some may be thinking that we should not base our vote for president on one issue. In my opinion, this issue is the cornerstone of the Harris/Walz platform. It is the solid foundation of their stance against a nation whose trust is in God. Historically our politicians have given verbal assent to the Bible as the foundation of our republic. But the Harris/Walz platform stands against so much that Christians hold dear.
For example, they are in favor of paying for prison inmates to have sex-change procedures. Also, they are in favor of men being allowed to play in women’s sports. The taking of innocent, unborn, life is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
So, when one says, “I think you’re at the wrong rally,” it’s time to move on down to the other rally down the street.
Until next time:
Blessings!

AMEN and AMEN
