America Decides: Trump vs Biden and the War of Two Worldviews

 America Decides: Trump vs Biden and the War of Two Worldviews

by Pastor Doug Stauffer


Surely, we can all agree on this: None of us is always right. I know I’m not. However, it seems that in today’s climate—especially regarding President Trump—the rules for judgment have been rewritten, and not for the better.

I’ve noticed something troubling taking root, even among Christians. It’s the notion that merely questioning a narrative warrants condemnation. If someone voices concerns about the Biden administration, that’s acceptable. But dare to defend President Trump or suggest he’s right about something? You’re instantly labeled, judged, and sometimes even cast aside.

I don’t pretend President Trump has never made a mistake—he’s human. But let’s be honest: He’s been boldly right about a lot of things that truly matter—like defending life in the womb, standing up to the globalist agenda, closing the southern border to protect Americans, and affirming there are two genders—male and female.

Meanwhile, President Biden and the radical left have led our nation down a dangerous path. Boys in girls’ locker rooms, irreversible surgeries on children, the erasure of biblical marriage, unchecked profanity and perversion in the public square—all normalized under the guise of “tolerance.” That’s not tolerance. That’s rebellion against God. Yes, I believe there is an Almighty God.

So yes, we should speak up. Not in hate—but in truth and love.

No politician is above accountability, not even Donald Trump. But when a man is relentlessly attacked by the media, the political establishment, and even foreign powers—precisely because he stands in the way of their agenda—it makes you wonder: Are people aware of the manipulation, and do they see the whole picture?

We must be wise. Scripture warns us not to judge “according to appearance,” but to “judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24). That means we examine fruit. Look at the fruit of President Trump’s policies—economic growth, lower taxes, religious liberty, strength abroad, and energy independence. Then look at the fruit of those who oppose him—chaos, division, lawlessness, and decay. Burning down cities was a First Amendment right where prosecutors turned a blind eye to the lawlessness.  

Some will say, “But Trump’s brash,” or “He tweets too much.” Okay—but are we more concerned with tone than truth? God used rough men in scripture to accomplish His will—men like Peter, Elijah, and yes, even King David, a man after God’s own heart, and none were without faults.

As Christians, we’re not called to blind allegiance to any man. But we are called to discern good from evil, right from wrong. That means standing for life, truth, and freedom—no matter who’s in office. And when a leader boldly stands for those things during great moral collapse, he deserves our support, not silence.

Disagree with policies? Fine. Raise questions respectfully? Absolutely. But don’t fall into the trap of treating boldness as evil and accepting cowardice as a virtue. We are in a spiritual war, and neutrality is not an option.

So, to my friends who are still undecided: don’t let media headlines, peer pressure, or fear of backlash keep you from speaking the truth. Our nation needs moral clarity, our churches need courage, and our children need us to stop wavering.

Let’s be loving. Let’s be respectful. But let’s also be unapologetically bold for what’s right.

God is watching, and America has always been worth fighting for, and many have died for your right to disagree.
