Why is it Important to Vote?
The governance of our country, state, and communities is regulated by elected officials. We significantly influence how our land is governed with our vote; therefore, it is imperative that we vote wisely, seeking to honor God to the best of our ability. Here are topics to consider and look for as you decide how to cast your vote:
Does the candidate or proposed legislation advance and protect our right to worship and publicly express our religious beliefs? There is no freedom of religion when we cannot pray or publicly state our religious beliefs, and when faith symbols are removed from government buildings and public property.
A Christian’s first duty is to God. It then follows, as a matter of course, that it is his duty to carry his Christian code of morals to the polls and vote them. – Mark Twain
Encourage Others To Vote

Should Christians be involved in elections and legislation?
- Do Christians have a moral or biblical obligation to participate in government?
- Is there a distinctively Christian way to engage in the political process?
- Do Christians have a duty to vote, and if so, what principles should inform them while casting their ballots?
- How should pastors think about politics, and how can they shepherd their congregations well during an election season?
Are your prepared for voting season?
