Good morning,
Tuesday,8 November, is Election Day. We will be exploring our five responsibilities as Christian citizens. They are to pray, register to vote, become informed, get involved, and vote.
3. Become informed
The uninformed Christian cannot prevail against evil forces in the world of politics. Knowledge is essential to effective action. “The wise man is crowned with knowledge” (Proverbs 14:18).
Gather information from the various ministries and organizations that provide summaries of current issues and pending legislation. Some ministries and organizations publish the voting records of office holders and voter guides showing the candidate’s stands on various issues of importance to Christian voters. This website will post a compilation of various voter guides before the November election.
4. Get Involved. Help Elect Godly People
Righteous rule brings rejoicing. “With good men in authority, the people rejoice; but with the wicked in power, the people groan” (Proverbs 29:2). The most effective way to restore righteous rule and rejoicing in America is to elect godly people to positions of authority.
The Word of God gives us the basic qualifications of a good candidate. “Find some capable, godly, honest men who hate bribes, and…let these men be responsible to serve the people with justice at all times” (Exodus 18:21,22).
Strongly urge, and, if necessary, personally assist all who favor Godly candidates to vote on Election Day. Do your part to Get Out The Christian Vote (GOTCV).
