This is a Campaign for Life built on Christian Faith, Biblical Principles, and Conservative Values. Find out more about my “platform” and stance “on the issues” at IanDavidSmith.com.
Pro-Life Warrior. Mental health reform that acknowledges the hard truths of homelessness. School Choice that allows parents to direct not only the education of their children, but the cultural and spiritual effect of education, influence and environment. California must turn from its wicked pro-death policies and ask for God’s forgiveness. He will heal our land, and give a new life to those who trust in Him. Read my “Campaign for Life” statement for a deeper dive.
As a Christian, Jesus is my ultimate example. I will fall short of that example, but thanks to His amazing Grace by Faith in Christ alone, I am saved. He paid the debt for all who repent and put their trust fully in Him. There was and can never be any greater sacrifice or example to this world.
Christian Faith, Biblical Principals, Conservative Values. Trusting in Jesus means objective truth. With the firm foundation of Christ, there is no room for the sinful heart of man to inject his subjective morality. We can see the outcome of secularism and self righteous morality tearing through the fabric or our society. Woke and progressive ideologies that call evil good and good evil. Transactional politicians that have enabled the erosion of truth by shifting with the cultural winds to stay in power. There is no objective truth outside of Christ. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” -JESUS
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬
Nothing of myself, other than the light of Christ, to shine through my life.
Bible. “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12-13‬
