Voting From A Christian Worldview
We must learn how to choose candidates in a godly, biblical fashion so we can participate in a culture that demands that Christians stand up for biblical values. First, choose a candidate that supports as closely as possible a biblical worldview. Start with the clearest issues: abortion, the definition of marriage, standing against homosexual rights, etc. These issues reveal an underlying world view. We will not be able to evaluate the heart of a candidate but they will reveal themselves and their worldview through such issues.
We should vote for positive character as often as possible. Vote on what they do and have done, not on what they say. If they favor things like homosexuality and abortion, then we know their character because we know their worldview. Character is revealed in actions and not in words. Also consider allies and enemies. Who do they stand with and against? If they stand with racists and radicals, abortionists and feminists, those who believe in government instead of God, then we know their worldview.
We must be concerned about the next election, but we must not be afraid. Again, God is in control and this next President will not be elected without God having a plan. The gospel is preached here every week. Some are saved and some are not. God is always at work. He is not panicked or defeated because some folks reject Him. Neither is He panicked of fearful in the case of political elections either. Whatever happens, God is in control because the Bible says so, and after all it is about the truth of Scripture in the end.
