Many Christians strongly suppose that we ought to cast our vote for a certain candidate because he is “The only candidate who can beat Obama”. We are talking about the highest public office in the Country, and we speak of voting in a man who believes something completely against our Lord and His Word.
Is it on account of fear? Perhaps we have forgotten what happened last election? Perhaps we have forgotten what our nation stands for? Perhaps we have forgotten that our actions are only a tiny part of the job? Perhaps…And I believe it to be so.
Is our vote to be swayed by who is the running opponent, or should we look at the candidates from a correct, biblical standpoint, and choose one who fears God and, to the best of our knowledge, would serve the people as a servant, bearing such in mind?
“The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.”
I strongly urge Christian voters out here, to consider carefully your vote in this election. Remember, God does not need our pitiful little vote to bring a man into office, however, he can also use our vote to change the world.
(Proverbs. 28:2, Proverbs 16:12) Matthew 6:24-34 is also good food for thought.

I hope you all have a great week. Now get out there and vote!
