CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS
 
As followers of Jesus, we surrender to Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to shape us. And as the Holy Spirit does his transformative work in our lives, we develop a Biblical worldview, allowing God’s Word to be the primary filter for our decisions. So as the election draws near, let me encourage you to vote. Vote not because it’s your right as a U.S. citizen, but because it’s your responsibility as a citizen of the eternal Kingdom to do your part to look out for the common good of those around you. One way we do that it is by allowing our political perspective to be shaped more by God’s Word than by our favorite news channel. 
 
May we seek to be as informed as possible about the issues, that we will vote according to a Biblical worldview, and that we will remember that regardless of the outcome of this election, King Jesus is still on His throne.
