A Few Christian Voices on the 2016 Election

Recent thoughts from a few Christians on the state of the election:

• Wayne Grudem, "Trump's Moral Character and the Election."
• Douglas Wilson, "A Fight In a Leper Colony."
• John Piper, "A Tweet."
• Al Mohler, "The Briefing 10/19/16."
• James White, "My Thoughts on the State of our Culture and the 2016 Election."
  Mr. White reads a letter from President John Adams that is worth considering.  I will paste part of it here.

Message from John Adams to the Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massacusetts
John Adams
October 11, 1798

Gentleman,

I have received from Major-General Hull and Brigadier. General Walker your unanimous address from Lexington, animated with a martial spirit, and expressed with a military dignity becoming your character and the memorable plains on which it was adopted.

While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
