Vote once, pray at all times
November 6, 2008
You can vote just once; but you must pray at all times. Christians must pray for our government and the leaders of all political parties (Matthew 5:44, 1 Timothy 2:1-2). In our polarized political society, many Christians are tempted to bless the politician or political party they support, and curse the other one they don’t. There’s a word for this: disobedience. The Bible is clear: we are to pray for all political and government leaders whether we agree with their policies or not. Whether Tuesday’s election’s results pleased you or not, it is time to pray! Below are three links to some good pastoral counsel on how to pray at a time such as this.
