Exodus 18:21 Statement
Declaring the Standard of Righteous Rule for 2028
​
“Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers…” — Exodus 18:21
​
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom—and the foundation of righteous rule. According to Exodus 18:21, those entrusted with civil authority must be able men who fear God, love truth, and hate covetousness. A ruler who lacks these qualities will not uphold justice and cannot be trusted to govern rightly.
​
Abortion is the open defiance of God’s law and the sanctioned slaughter of the innocent. A nation that permits such bloodshed is a nation without the fear of God—and a ruler who will not oppose it with urgency is unfit to lead.
​
Therefore, we affirm the following:
​
-
We will not support, endorse, or vote for any presidential candidate in 2028 who does not commit to making the complete and immediate abolition of abortion a priority of their administration. Incrementalism, regulation, and delay are not righteous alternatives. The duty of civil government is justice, not compromise.
-
We demand public commitment from candidates who seek our support—demonstrated by concrete pledges, not vague pro-life language. We expect action to recognize the right to life from fertilization, to enforce equal justice for the preborn, and to wield every federal power righteously.
-
We will not be party to the continued shedding of innocent blood. Our allegiance is first to the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Political expediency is not our guide—obedience is.
We call upon fellow Christians, pastors, officeholders, and citizens to join us in holding the line. America cannot be great while it protects murder. Leadership that tolerates abortion fails the test of Exodus 18:21. It is time to choose righteous rulers—or to stand alone if necessary.
​
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Let us not trade that wisdom for votes.
