Over four nights this past week, Democrat leaders, politicians, and the party’s superstars spoke about their vision for America’s future. Sadly, many lies were told about the state of the economy, the border, crime, and more. It was a challenge to pick only six.

Lie #1 Exposed: Trump did NOT call Neo-Nazis ‘fine people.’ 

The sitting president, Joe Biden, spoke late on Monday night and once again trotted out his old lie regarding former President Trump. I hesitate to even mention it, but when a lie is repeatedly told, even when one is confronted with the truth, that’s a deliberate sin. Biden lies when he says Trump called Nazis “very fine people” after a Charlottesville, VA, rally protesting the removal of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s statue. Trump did not. What he said was, “Those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

Lie #2 Exposed: Trump will NOT declare a national ban on abortion.

Beginning with Joe Biden on Monday night and ending with Kamala Harris on Thursday, speaker after speaker issued this stern warning to frighten women to the polls: “Trump will declare a national ban on abortion.”

Trump takes credit for appointing Supreme Court justices who were part of the majority overturning Roe v. Wade. His position on abortion today is that the states should decide the issue. He has repeatedly stated that he will not sign a national abortion ban if reelected. And for pro-lifers, it was a sad day when the GOP’s platform dropped its call for a national abortion ban, which had been in the platform for 40 years. The platform states:

“Republicans Will Protect and Defend a Vote of the People, from within the States, on the Issue of Life. We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights. After 51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the States and to a vote of the People. We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments).”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and the Democrats are proposing a federal law to codify abortion with no limits which would overturn every state ban or restrictions. And the DNC allowed Planned Parenthood to set up a mobile trailer to offer free abortions and vasectomies.

Lie #3 Exposed: Democracy is NOT dead if Trump wins.

This is a common lie that Kamala Harris and the Democrats truly believe. In President Obama’s speech, he lauded Joe Biden as an “outstanding President who defended democracy at a moment of grave danger.” Or, as President Biden said in his speech, “When we came together in 2020 to save democracy”… by electing Joe Biden. Now, Biden is saving democracy once again by dropping out of the race and anointing his V.P. as his replacement. Without a single primary vote and a healthy propaganda campaign by corporate media, Harris is the Democratic presidential nominee. Is this anointing the new democracy?

If the people cast more votes in November for Trump and he wins the Electoral College, then he is president. That’s the truth of democracy. But it’s hard for Democrats to let go of this lie because in their minds, democracy means voting Democrat.

Lie #4 Exposed: Republicans want parents to retain and exercise the right to protect children from sexually explicit books.

Both Michelle Obama and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called out Trump and the Republicans for their love of book banning in their DNC speeches. This is a lie. A few Republican states have passed laws saying sexually explicit, pornographic, or indecent novels should not be available in school libraries where children under 18 can see them.

The New Republic listed the top 50 banned books in schools, most of which promote the LGBTQ+ agenda, including Gender Queer, All Boys Aren’t Blue, I Am Jazz. Two Boys Kissing, Lawn Boy, and others. When concerned parents at school board meetings across the country stand up to read these books’ pornographic passages, they are shut down because the material is too explicit to be read in public. This is not “banning” books. This is protecting children from pornography. These books are still available to purchase or borrow from the local public library.

Lie #5 Exposed: Trump does NOT want to ban IVF.

Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois went all in on what she calls Trump’s “anti-woman crusade.” She accused Trump of not being satisfied with banning abortions but will come for IVF next! IVF stands for in vitro fertilization. It’s where a baby is conceived in a petri dish, then the embryo is placed in the womb. Oftentimes, more than one embryo is created, and the “leftovers” are frozen in liquid nitrogen or destroyed. Since Christians believe that life begins at conception, the disposition of unused embryos has become a moral issue.

Tim Walz also repeated the lie in his speech. Weird, since Walz falsely claimed he and his wife had their children through IVF. Harris went as far as saying Trump would ban birth control.

But Trump supports IVF. “Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder!, ” he said. And the Republican platform is clear on this as well: “We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments).”

Lie #6 Exposed: It’s NOT a new way forward.

Kamala Harris capped the DNC with a long list of lies and half-truths and promises of what she would do on her first day in office to fix America’s problems, stating that it’s a new way forward. But, she and her fawning media appear to forget that it has been the Biden-Harris Administration in charge for the past 3 ½ years that has decimated the middle class and working class. Even NBC reported Harris didn’t say much about how she’d be different than Biden. Out with the old, in with the old.

Harris also said this whopper, “I believe everyone has a right to safety, to dignity, and to justice.” Not everyone. For Harris, the unborn have none of these rights. Pro-lifers praying in front of abortion clinics have none of these rights. Americans who have been raped, molested, or murdered by illegal immigrants have none of these rights. Parents of transgender children and parents speaking up against the LGBTQ+ agenda in schools have none of these rights. Political opponents have none of these rights. Victims of the BLM riots have none of these rights. And Christians are quickly losing these rights too in the Harris new/old way forward.

But all the lies at the DNC are overcome by the Lord Jesus. “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

One Glorious Truth

On the second night of the DNC, media darling and former first lady, Michelle Obama, took to the stage and declared, “America, hope is making a comeback!” Perhaps she has forgotten that these “hopeless” times Americans are facing come four years into Biren-Harris running the economy, opening the border, and dictating by executive fiat.

Now it appears Michelle is placing her hope in the Harris-Walz ticket to restore the hope that has been lost… and NOT in her Savior, Jesus Christ. To put your hope in politicians of one party or the other is idolatry. Our government is not the solution to America’s problems and should not become the hope of the people. Isaiah 33:22 clearly outlines the three branches of government in which we should place our hope: “For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king, and it is he who will save us.”

No matter the lies, the darkness, the evil we see and hear and feel around us, we are still so blessed because our hope is firm and sure. Hope doesn’t need to make a “comeback” for the Christian because hope never leaves us or forsakes us. As Edward Mole’s inspiriting hymn reminds us…

Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

His oath, his covenant, his blood support me in the whelming flood;

when all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

Let’s live that… as Christians and witnesses of Jesus first, citizens of our country second, and then as Spirit-led voters remembering Daniel 2:21, “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”

The hope of the people of God must always remain in our Savior Jesus. How can we pray?

We are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. God calls us to participate in this earthly government as citizens, to pray for our leaders, and to speak truth in the presence of evil.

We pray for godly wisdom for our political leaders, especially Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, Donald Trump and JD Vance, RFK Jr and Nicole Shanahan, to promote and uphold moral and righteous laws, to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).

We thank the Lord for His truth and the confident hope He gives us.

We are witnesses to our neighbors of the glorious hope of salvation, redemption, and sanctification that is available to everyone who asks. It is in the power of the gospel to do what politics can never do: rescue the sinner from his sin and change his heart to do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord (Deuteronomy 6:18).

We pray for the many moral issues being addressed in this election. May we as people follow God’s truths and righteousness in determining our nation’s course.

We pray the lies and schemes of the enemy are exposed in the light of God’s truth. May we be strong and courageous to do what pleases You and to accomplish great things as a nation in Your Name.

We pray that we never fall into despair, but remain steadfast in the truth and hope of God’s sovereign will.

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word” (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).
