Pastor David Jeremiah spoke to a large gathering on Independence Day
where he asserted that considering the future president’s Supreme Court
appointee(s) is the most important issue in the 2016 election.
Jeremiah, who is pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El
Cajon, California, spoke to an audience of more than 7,000 in an
Independence Day service at Shadow Mountain.
According to The Blaze, Jeremiah emphasized the need for conservative
Justices to be appointed to the Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution
in its original meaning.
Jeremiah also emphasized the need for Americans to elect a president
who will appoint Justices who wield their enormous power wisely.
“We are a nation of laws, not a nation of dictators, but rest assured
these Supreme Court justices who sit on the bench for life wield more
power than most of the kings and dictators in this world,” he said.
Evangelical Americans must exercise their right to vote, said Jeremiah,
and must not allow their reservations about the candidates prevent them
from going out to the polls.
“We should know better. We tried this approach in 2012 when 25 million
evangelicals who were registered to vote did not take the time to do
it,” he said. “The difference in the 2012 popular vote was less than
five million votes, and 25 million evangelicals refused to go to the
polls.”
During his address, Jeremiah voiced his concerns over a number of
issues the next president will have to deal with, including terrorism,
the national debt, and the immigration crisis, but concluded by stating,
“You must decide who you think will appoint the best justices for the
Supreme Court, and then whatever else you may think of that person, you
must vote.”
