God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We must exercise our privilege and responsibility to vote. We must educate ourselves regarding the platforms of the candidates (what do they believe?). We must pray and cast our vote in good conscience. We must trust God that in His sovereignty, ultimately is the one who appoints leaders. We are not to let politics divide our church or hinder our Gospel outreach. We must remember that God can use evil leaders to accomplish His eternal plans. We must trust that God will in all things bring good to His people. We must submit to whomever is appointed to be our next President. We must remember that our highest King is the Lord, Jesus Christ. We must vote not according to feelings or popularity, but rather biblical principles. Law and order. According to Romans 13, this is God’s calling for civil authorities – to reward good and punish evil. Sexuality. Where does he/she stand on the biblical definition of marriage between one man and one woman, gender as created by God and the curriculum introduced to our children? Character. Though we are not electing a pastor, does the man/woman keep his/her word, respect others, deal justly, promote biblical virtues, help the needy, make wise decisions and act as a peacemaker? Effectiveness. Is he/she a proven leader? Will he/she do what is best for the economy, military, environment, education system and health care. Will he/she appoint conservative justices and strictly follow the Constitution? Religious Freedom. Does he/she support the church respecting our freedom to worship? Will he/she support our religious convictions, free speech and private education? Will he/she aid Christians persecuted oversees? Sanctity of life. Does he/she stand for the sacredness of life extending from the unborn to the elderly? Will he/she seek to abolish tax-payer funding for abortion?
