Someone has said, "Politics and religion are strange bedfellows." Time has come for Evangelical Christians to review their biblical or Christian worldview and live accordingly. In the impending general elections of 2016, Evangelical believers are to cast their votes for the presidency and the congress based on their Christian worldview. They are to watch out for candidates who come with fanciful and tantalizing rhetoric but in reality, they are deceptive. The push for Gay Marriage and the rule from SCOTUS for its legitimacy and implementation in all fifty states should serve as a wakeup call to Evangelical Christians to examine carefully and prayerfully where each candidate stands. My suggestion is that you should not vote for any candidate whose manifesto is in conflict with the Christian worldview. Some will feign their loyalty to Christ. Therefore, pray for the spirit of discernment to make the right choice before you cast your vote. We are not advocating theocracy but we are hoping for godly leaders who would not dismantle traditional marriage and ensure good policies. May God help America in particular and the world in general.

God bless you. Biblically speaking, your counsel is insufficient in addressing the highest prerogative of the Christ and based on his wishes, that of the Christian. It is written, "The king's heart is in the hand of the Yahweh, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will" (Mishlei/Proverbs 21:1). The Almighty can turn a river without you selecting it. The focus of the believer should not be to enter into the democratic selection process, but to pray to the ONE in authority,...

Thanks for your response to my piece. However, your advice is the one that is shortsighted. It is true that God is sovereign and has all authority. However, God did not save Christians to be passive citizens. In fact, Jesus says that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matt. 5:13-15). Therefore, we are to be a part of the political process. In other words, Christians are to vote in the selection of our political leaders. This leads to the prayer for discernment to make the right choice. How can we live peaceable if we do not exercise our civic right in the electoral process. I don't know whether you are a Jehovah's Witness or something else. However, your worldview is one of passivity and not positive involvement. Therefore, reflect on your biblical views carefully. God saved you to reflect His presence and His voice in a fallen world. Therefore, be actively involved in decision making processes. Through discernment and wisdom you can make the world a better place than it is today.
