Jesus Wants Your Vote

Dear Friend,

Tomorrow is election day. And I'm reminded that several years
ago, Family Policy Alliance invested in a significant survey, seeking
to understand how Americans viewed the state of our country. You may
have even taken this survey.

One of the questions asked the participant to select an image that
best depicted the condition of America today. Guess which image won?

Instead of choosing an image of two simple train tracks going in
diverging directions or any of the other options, the winning image
was very similar to the one above-multiple tracks criss-crossing
and going in so many different directions it was hard to count.

In other words, they viewed the country as deeply divided with no
clear path forward. If anything, now several years later, that
division and confusion are even deeper.

There are deep disagreements over energy, foreign policy, healthcare,
the meaning of the Constitution, the right to life, and more.
Americans are even disagreeing over whether a child who hasn't
even hit puberty should stop their natural sexual development or even
undergo a procedure to remove perfectly healthy body parts in the name
of transgender ideology. We see rioting in the streets. Speaking the
Truth (not someone's personal truth, "my truth," but
the real Truth found in God's Word) increasingly is labeled as
"hate speech." And so much more.

So what are we as Christians to do in the midst of the chaos,
confusion, and division?

I offer 3 suggestions:

1. We are, politically, witnesses.

As my good friend and colleague Pastor Vince Torres, President of
Family Policy Alliance of New Mexico, says, we are not
"politically homeless" in the midst of all this. We are
"politically, witnesses."  Before we identify
ourselves as

Republican or Democrat, or any other party, we identify with Jesus
Christ. We are called to represent Him on Earth-including in the
political process.

The beautiful thing about so many people viewing the state of the
country as deeply divided, confusing, and chaotic is that means many
are also searching for truth and a path forward.

As believers, we know we have the only Truth there ever was or will
be, and we have clarity on the path forward. We can speak truth into
confusion. We can consult God's Word on what is right or
wrong-we don't have to second guess. And we can lovingly
share His Word with others.

Every political issue is first a biblical issue. And God's Word
is clear on how we ought to view the lives of babies in the womb, what
it means to be male and female, the proper role of government, and
much more.

2. We give to Caesar what is Caesar's.

In our American form of government, the people (you and I) select our
own leaders. This is a great privilege, and it

means that we must give our votes. We owe that to our
"Caesar" and to our neighbors.

And when we vote, we must vote according to biblical Truth. As in all
that we do, God wants our total surrender to Him-of our hearts,
minds, actions-and our votes. So yes, Jesus wants your vote.

If you or someone close to you haven't yet voted, please be
sure to do so before the polls close in your state tomorrow.

If you don't know where to vote or drop off your ballot, visit
our tool where you input your address and see addresses and pictures
of your polling place or ballot drop-off locations, depending on your
state. We also have a presidential voter guide to help weigh the
candidates on the issues.

3. We pray.

As we seek to honor our Lord by speaking Truth into our nation and
even after votes are cast, we invite you to join with us in prayer. We
are praying fervently for our country, for the election results, and
for the Lord to find the Body of Christ faithful-regardless of
any election outcome.

Faithfully & Prayerfully,


Autumn Leva
Vice President, Strategy
