Voting...The Christian Perspective

The right to vote is one of the great privileges of being an American.  We can choose our elected officials with our ballot.  Not only is this a 'right', it is also a tremendous responsibility.  The responsibility is even heavier as we see all that is at stake in the upcoming, Presidential election.


 

Our nation faces uncertain days ahead.  The threat of global terrorism looms large as Iran accumulates nuclear capability.  Eroding morality floods the television audiences.  Violence, abortion, homosexuality and evil abounds.  It is the day spoken in the Word of God when 'Gross darkness covers the people."

As a Christian we are called to be leaders, influencers, in our communities.  We are the salt and light Jesus mentioned in His teaching.  Voting is one of the easiest and most powerful means of influence.  To 'not' vote is the same as placing a vote for evil.  To cast your ballot in favor of principles embraced by the Word of God is a righteous action.

I ask you to prayerfully think about the millions of babies being murdered in the womb and vote accordingly.  I ask you to think and pray about which leader distinctly declares his faith in God...the God we know as Jehovah and Jesus, and vote accordingly.  Please consider which leader would prayerfully support the nation of Israel without hesitation.  Consider which candidate will stand up, nose to nose, with evil terrorists.  When you go to the polls in November, do so as an advocate for righteousness.

Thank you Lord for allowing us to live in this great nation.  May we humbly seek your favor now and always.   Let me know what you think.
