Dr. James Dobson warned Christians that if they neglect their duty to vote in November’s midterm elections, they will likely lose their freedom – giving way to a socialist takeover sweeping America.

“Socialism would replace freedom and free enterprise,” Dobson alerted readers of his October monthly newsletter, according to WND. “God help us if you and I fail to fulfill our moral responsibility.”

The founder of Family Talk radio and the James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI) made it clear that there will be dire consequences if Christians sit out November’s election – stressing that it carries much more weight than any other midterm in United States history.

“Everything is on the line, and a wholly new interpretation of the Constitution looms before us,” insisted Dobson, who also founded Focus on the Family decades ago.

Having advised five presidents and received his Ph.D. in Child Development from the University of Southern California (USC) – where he served as an associate clinical professor of pediatrics for 14 years – Dobson’s counsel has been held in high esteem throughout America for many decades, and his latest piece of advice focuses on one topic that he said “rises to the top” over all others.

“Powerful social movements and passions are ‘blowing in the wind,’ and most of them have dangerous implications for the institution of the family, religious liberty, our children and unborn babies – and the country at large,” the evangelical leader wrote his constituents.

Dobson impressed that America’s direction over the next few decades will be determined by the results of November’s midterm election.

“Christians must go to the polls next month and let their voices be heard!” the pro-family activist exclaimed.

The host of the Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk radio program – speaking with the authority of his 17 honorary degrees, 17 years’ experience on the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles’ attending staff, and as a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame – asked his supporters if they will take action steps in order to continue living out their faith in America.

“What will you do about it?” Dobson questioned his readers. “Will you sit out this election? God help us if you and I fail to fulfill our moral responsibility … Everything is on the line.”

Dobson then referred to an election win 150 years ago by one of the most devout Christian presidents in U.S. history.

“Dobson notes Abraham Lincoln’s presidential election victory for a second term, which has been described as the most important presidential election ever,” WND reported. “The outcomes of many races likely will hinge who decides to vote, he argues.”

The author of dozens of books – such as The New Dare to DisciplineLove for a Lifetime, Life on the Edge, Love Must Be Tough, The New Strong-Willed Child, Bringing up Boys and Bringing Up Girls – explained why this election is probably the most significant midterm since America’s founding.

“Destiny rides before us again,” Dobson warned. “As Barack Obama said after winning a second presidential term, ‘Elections have consequences.’ Indeed, they do. We – the voters – have it within our power to protect our Constitution, preserve our democratic system of government, and secure the blessings of liberty for us and our posterity.”

He implored Christians to do their duty by taking “30 minutes to go to the polls on November 6” after studying out the issues and candidates on the ballot, while urging them to get those around them involved in political process at their local polling precincts.

“Call or email every friend in your church or neighborhood and urge them to vote!” Dobson exclaimed. “Drive them to the polling place in your car if they don’t have transportation or don’t know where it is located. Ask your pastor to set up registration tables in the vestibule of your church. Talk to your family members. Do everything you can to influence this election. You can be sure that those whose views you oppose will be working just as hard. If you are AWOL in this battle, you and everything you stand for might slip away.”…

Heavenly Father in Jesus’ Name, I pray for your will to be done through the people of this nation on Election Day. I pray for Your mercy and grace for America and, hence the world, to be reflected in the outcome of the November election. That our Constitution, our heritage, the Judeo Christian ethic will be restored and dominate all venues of government and societal action(s). Lord this is Your world, and none can wrest Your will and Your power from this world. I pray the Holy Spirit’s action to create revival in the hearts and mind of all Americans revealing to them truth, wisdom, and knowledge as they exercise their privilege to vote to protect our freedom, and to honor those who have fought valiantly to protect freedom for all over the centuries. Amen.

In total agreement with everything Dr. Dobson said. Sitting on the sidelines just watching the activities take place won’t change anything! It’s getting involved & voting that will.

I agree with Dr. Dobson’s view on voting, but there is also a great threat to Christianity today from the “new religion of “self-ism” through Freud’s phycology. Freud was an atheist’s and a humanist that hated God and Christianity. The explosion of (Christianity blending with Humanism) of loving, esteeming, and worthiness of “our-self” greater than others is in total opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus taught that we must to “die” to ourselves, so we might live through Him, as we esteem others greater than ourselves.
(2 Timothy 3:1-5)tells us that in the Last Days, “mankind will be lovers of their own selves…
Suicide comes from esteeming your-self above others, and not allowing anyone to penetrate your selfish, and sinful behavior.
“He who is in love with himself is usually by himself = all alone and feeling like a loser. (Depressed, disappointed, angry, disillusioned, and sickened by their own failures, when they were convinced they were a “winner.”
We need Crist alone as “He must increase, and we must decrease” if we are to survive this wicked world.
