To Vote or Not to Vote…

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time. 1 Peter 2:1-5

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. Proverbs 29:2


No, this isn’t a devo on who to vote for. Whew! Rather, it is a short message on how to vote through a Biblical grid and the importance of voting your Biblical values.

The info is provided by Pastor Gary Hamrick and Pastor Jack Hibbs  along with a video clip by Ray Comfort. I’ve also included a helpful link from iVoterGuide so you can easily see where the parties stand on specific issues.

Tragically, according to research, approximately 40 million Americans who self-identify as Christians do not plan to vote in the upcoming election. That is to our great shame.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

– Dietrich Bonhoeffer

While the following info is primarily for an American audience,  if you are blessed enough to live in a nation that allows for the privilege and responsibility of voting,  I believe you’ll glean much from it as well.

Pray. Listen. Vote. Share. Continue praying, no matter the outcome.
