Christians Need to Vote

The acts of God take place in the earth primarily through people. God needs men and women to work through in order for His plans to come to pass. And this includes politics and elections.

I’m sure you’re fatigued with all the division and political fighting that has been going on. If you are like me, you are so ready for this election cycle to be over. However, we have a duty to God and to our country. We don’t have the luxury of sitting out an election- our vote is sacred and God expects us to use it to promote godly values in this nation. The privilege of voting has been given to us as a free nation and many people have died to preserve our right to have a voice in government. If you were thinking about not voting in this election, please reconsider. Believe it or not, the Lord needs your vote. He has good plans for the United States, but it takes us doing our part.

Please get out and vote. And vote for the people aligned with the principles that God loves:

• Life for the unborn. Jeremiah 1:4-5, Psalm 139:13-17

• Good relations with Israel. Genesis 12:3

• Secure borders. Numbers 34:1-12

• Biblical marriage. Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:18-25, Romans 1:26-27

• Prosperity. Deuteronomy 8:18, Psalm 112:3

• The rule of law. Leviticus 24-25

• Personal freedom to choose how to live. Deuteronomy 30:19

• Religious freedom. Matthew 22:21, John 4:23

One other thing we need to consider when voting is the person’s stand on terrorism. If someone is aligned with radical extremists, they are not seeking the best interest of our country and should not be elected.

I have to be honest and tell you that if you read the platforms of the two parties, only one of them stands with God on all these issues. If you do your research by looking up the party platforms, you’ll clearly see who it is. We must overlook personalities when we vote because if we really knew these people, there would probably be very few of them that we totally agree with and like as individuals. Partner with God and cast your vote in this midterm election- and cast it for godly values.
