Last week in Colorado Springs I heard a disturbing statistic...only one-third of Christians in the US vote. That is appalling to me, both as an American and as a Christian. I certainly understand the frustration of people who are fed up with the whole election process, but we cannot let this frustration keep us from doing the right thing.
I urge you to vote! Though I certainly cannot use a ministry site to promote a particular candidate, I can encourage to consider one overwhelmingly important issue: LIFE! It is quite popular today to hear Christians say that their vote is based on more than a single issue. There are many important issues: the war, the economy, justice issues, the environment. All of these should concern us and help us make decisions concerning our vote.
Personally however, those other important issues only come into play after I see how a candidate views the critical issue of life. Our Creator has formed us (Ps.139) and our nation is facing judgment as long as we continue to kill innocent unborn children. I plead with my brothers and sisters in Christ to consider the pro-life position to be the foundation upon which other positions must be viewed. We must vote our values.
