Go Vote & Go Pray

Election day is a great day in American history. A day where you can practice your privileged right to have a voice as a citizen of the United States. Election day is a day where history is made.

It’s important to understand a couple things from scripture before heading to the polls to cast your ballot. Let’s take a look at the two most important things to remember this Election day!

1. Christ is King!

America has a problem. We’re in desperate need of renewal. The economy here at home is failing, prices are rising, and jobs are far and few between. Churches are suffering from record low attendance and believers are struggling with their once strong beliefs. The world we live in is only getting worse.

We need a clear view of who our real leader is: Christ. Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

“…Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.” –Colossians 2:10b

If there’s anyone that America needs for a bright future, it’s Jesus. We need to get right with God before we can set things right in the land of the free. A politician may be able to put satisfactory policies in place, control spending, or make international friends but only God can bring renewal to our land.

2. Christianity isn’t a religion, but a lifestyle.

If we’re going to call ourselves followers of Christ, we can’t just bring our best on Sunday. We need to be real with ourselves. God has laid out His expectations for His creation in His word. It’s impossible to live up to these standards and that’s why we need the perfect sacrificial gift of God’s one and only son.

God’s infinite love should push us to want to love Him back. We need to strive to maintain a Biblical outlook on life. Whether we are in line at the grocery store, pumping gas, at work, or at the polls, our actions should reflect our belief in Christ.

So don’t forget to make your voice heard at the polls. Most importantly pray for our once mighty God-fearing nation. If there’s anyone that can fix us it’s Him! We need Christ now more than ever. Go vote and go pray!
