If conservative evangelicals fail to participate in the midterm elections this November, the “restoration of religious freedom and the freedom of speech” established under President Donald Trump will end, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins has warned. Perkins was addressing a crowd gathered at the National Religious Broadcaster’s 75th annual convention in Nashville. He emphasized that “the sun is shining right now in America when it comes to our First Amendment freedoms.”
“We need to be wise and act quickly, not only using these freedoms to spread the good news, but also to put in place policies that will protect and promote these essential freedoms… During his time as president, Mr. Trump has “appointed excellent judges like Neil Gorsuch; enacted unparalleled pro-life policies, and cut taxes and is growing our economy,” Perkins said, adding that the president is working to restore religious freedom, move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and rebuild our military.
All of this, he said, is largely thanks to evangelicals, who turned out in record-setting numbers to vote for Trump. “Evangelicals understood what was at stake and voted,” Perkins contended. “But the election was not the end of our responsibility, but rather the beginning of our opportunity. First by acting upon it, but also preserving it.”
Because of the importance of the evangelical voter, there is an “intense effort on the Left” to suppress their turnout in the upcoming elections by dampening the enthusiasm of conservative voters, Perkins warned. “If they succeed and your listeners and viewers get discouraged and stay home in the midterm election, the reform is over,” he said. “The restoration of religious freedom and the freedom of speech will end.”
If conservatives — and in particular evangelical voters — do not turn out this November, “one of the first orders of business (if Democrats win the House) will be the impeachment of President Trump,” Perkins cautioned. “They most likely will not succeed in removing him from office, but they will most likely succeed in stopping what this administration is doing.”
The Left is “unhinged,” Perkins said, because Trump is not just “enacting conservative policies in line with the Constitution,” he’s steadily dismantling the liberal policies of his predecessor. “[The Left] won’t be able to jump back in the driver’s seat of big government and restart their programs,” he explained. “They will have to rebuild, and that will take time, especially if they don’t have the courts to help them in their activism. This is why every judicial confirmation is a fight.”
Perkins urged evangelical voters to “act upon the opportunity that we have to fortify our freedoms, and to ensure government does not again try to quarantine our Christian faith within the walls of our churches.”
“A lot has been done, but there is still plenty to do,” he said. “The president ran and has governed by the theme ‘Making America Great Again.’ But America will only be great again when it has become good again, and that is not government’s mission, but ours, followers of Jesus Christ.” He added, “Let’s be wise and make the best use of this moment in time, this opportunity.”
Christian leaders are doing everything they can to maintain the gains conservatives achieved in the 2016 election. The Bible tells us that America will have to become much more religious than it currently is if there is going to be religious worship laws. Will the mid-term elections move this prophecy forward, or will there be some stepping back to limit conservative power?
Speaking of America, the Bible says, “And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” Revelation 13:12

Thursday May 3rd, 2018 at 10:53 PMFine. But if your “religion” starts making policy, then your churches need to start paying taxes. Either that or stay out of it. You know how you’re scared to death of Muslims and Sharia law? Well that’s how you people make the rest of us feel. You have no right whatsoever to cram your religion down our throats, much less to try and make it law. Televangelists are just barely one step below politicians. Peddling Jesus for money. You’re all disgusting. And how is it that you venerate a philandering ego maniac who sleeps with porn stars and brags about grabbing women by the genitalia and has never read a book other than the one he wrote, much less the Bible, but somehow YOU’RE the ones who are acting victimized? If you can’t see what hypocrites you are and how ignorant your whole stupid article is, there is no hope for you. Have fun with your degenerate president. You look like a total fool praising him and then talking about religion in the same sentence. Your religion is money – just like his.

Sunday May 6th, 2018 at 08:45 PMWe report on prophetic things. It is now our business to endorse or oppose any political person or party. We are just as concerned about the evangelical influence on Mr. Trump as you are. But more than that, we link current events to bible prophecy to show that the end of all things is near and that Christ will soon return and end the hypocrisy.

Tuesday May 22nd, 2018 at 10:11 PMBased on Tony Perkins views on evangelicals and present politics we can see what caused the Dark Ages and see how close we are to the Image of the Beast. God revealed to us thru His Word that this would occur but doubters will not believe even while truth is right in their face. Come Lord as soon as you can.
