November 4th is ELECTION DAY – “If America is to survive, we must elect more God-centered men and women to public office – individuals who will seek Divine guidance in the affairs of state.” –Billy Graham, Evangelist
Americans are blessed to have a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” But democracy has one key requirement: our participation. The most basic democratic participation is voting. When people of faith fail to vote, is it any wonder that policies are enacted that are contrary to believers’ core values? Our faith in God should influence our values in life, and includes the political arena. People of faith, grounded in moral truth, must be prepared to discern those candidates best able to uphold moral values. As Christ’s representatives on earth, we are under a mandate to be “salt and light” in our culture (Matthew 5:13-16). Yet many believers fail to consider their biblical values when voting, often choosing candidates whose positions are at odds with their own beliefs, convictions, and values.
So this election year, prayerfully resolve to:
1) Be registered
2) Be informed
3) Vote your values
As believers we have a duty to be involved in the democratic process. But our charge is not simply to vote the way our family or friends vote, or the way our political party wants us to vote, or even with concern for our pocketbook. Instead, we must vote our values, our beliefs, our convictions.
An informed vote takes effort. The choice is not always easy, but it is always significant.
