Voting This Year? Why or Why Not? Some things to Consider

Dr. John Tolson, founder of The Gathering USA , recently wrote on this point. Something to ponder as you consider participating in this voting season. Did you know that there are 90 million evangelical Christians eligible to vote in the United States? The shocking thing is that of those 90 million, 40 million do not vote, and 15 million are not even registered to vote.

It’s no accident that you and I are right where we are right now. God has purposed each of us—appointed us to be alive on the planet at this specific time, living in the places in which we live. As Christ’s followers, we are to be leaders, impacting the culture for him. Voting is one way we do this. Voting is not only your privilege and right; it is your responsibility and duty. If you are a citizen of this country, then every aspect of your daily life has in some way been touched, shaped and blessed by the freedoms we have in America. Those freedoms have come by way of politics, politicians, policies and the laws crafted by the officials we elect. And policies affect people. So, please VOTE!

Pray before voting… and then keep praying!

"The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live." –1 Timothy 2:1-3 (MSG)

The Family Research Council (FRC.org) has put out a helpful 40-day prayer guide for our nation and the election. It starts with praying for your own heart—where true change always begins. Click here to download The FRC Election Prayer Guide, print it out, start at the beginning and do a couple each day to catch up.

Watch or listen to this Election Day Sermon 2024 by Pastor Gary Hamrick of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, VA. Pastor Hamrick preached his Election Day sermon a few weeks ago, and it’s the best biblical message on the importance of voting I’ve heard. Based on Ezekiel 33:1-5, this sermon will give you a Biblical Worldview and right understanding of the issues we face today. Please take time to listen or watch – it'll encourage you and help you make a Biblical voting decision.

Amendment 4 is a vote on amending the Florida constitutional. We urge you, as a Christ-follower, to prayerfully consider voting 'NO', as voting 'yes' would eliminate current state restrictions that save lives of children who have identifiable heartbeats in the womb of a mother. INFO
