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.
5. Vote!
Only when you cast your vote do you fulfill your Christian responsibility in government. Exercise the influence that God has given youthrough our unique system of self-government. If you fail to vote conscientiously for godly rule, evil will increase in our nation. “When rulers are wicked, their people are too” (Proverbs 29:16).
It is commonly believed that decisions in America are made by a majority of the people. This is not so. Decisions are made by a majority of those who voted in the last election.
In making your decisions, let the Word of God be your guide. “Godliness exalts a nation” (Proverbs 14:34)., so it is important to prayerfully seek God’s will in all political decisions.
Remember, a candidate’s principles are far more important than his party affiliation. To place confidence in unworthy candidates is a miscarriage of Christian stewardship. “Putting confidence in an unreliable man is like chewing with a sore tooth, or trying to run on a broken foot: (Proverbs 25:19). Therefore, vote your Christian convictions over your party loyalty.
Do your Christian Duty. View your vote through God’s prism. Vote Biblical Values. Vote GOD!
