F4S: Forty million Evangelical Christians did not vote last time in the Presidential election. This must change!

Monday, November 4, 2024

Forty million Evangelical Christians did not vote last time in the Presidential election. This must change!

I do understand that both candidates are flawed, but this passivity is NOT spiritual, NOT good, and is totally stupid.

You don't want to live as a hypocrite do you?

I am excited about Christ and won't pedestalize any mere human. I say people get ready, Jesus is coming soon to take us home.

It's Election Day in the USA! 

Good morning, Lord. Thank you for the rain and a new day. This is the best time of the entire year -- we love it! I pray that you would make it super easy by your GRACE for Americans to PRAY for America. So many have been told lies that make them feel bad and those Media lies are often hard to tell. I pray for Your protection on both sides of people going to vote today and that Your perfect will be done because You see the future and know what is best for Americans. I pray that fellow believers in this Land will wake up and go vote for the sanctity of life and protection for citizens.. because every American (no matter if they are Libertarian Republican or Democrat or non-voting) with a heartbeat has GREAT VALUE and is NOT garbage. Tkx. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Matthew 18:20 "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them."

Isaiah 43:4: "You are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you"

Ephesians 1:4: "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love"

Ephesians 1:5: "You are valuable because of what you cost. As one loved by God, you have also been chosen by God for “adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself”"

Until Jesus comes for us, let's pray, be a witness, work together, go tell (the gospel) and go vote. Make sure it all happens right.

I am more concerned with who will be in God's house and Kingdom than who will be in the White House, but that doesn't mean I am to make my brain cease to the hurt of the USA!

The privilege and responsibility of voting as a Christian isn’t a decision about civic duty alone; it’s a choice that echoes in both the hearts of our nation's workers and in the soul of each real believer. 

Because voting is my important privilege, it is also my important responsibility to prepare for and go address.

In terms of politics and leadership here, there is clear evidence in Scripture that God HAS NOT BEEN PLEASED with our choices of leadership at times (See Hosea 8:4 and the context). 

The evidence of evil and sin’s grip on this fallen world is everywhere. You know evil people are here more than ever! Much of the suffering here on earth is because of godless leadership that we've allowed into top position of office. We talk about fighting the good fight of faith, but have we? (I'm not talking about against flesh and blood here, but against the increased corruption that keeps hurting flesh and blood kinda folks here. Real people). 

"When the righteous triumph, there is great glory and celebration; but when the wicked rise [to prominence], men hide themselves." Proverbs 28:12 amp

Scripture gives Christians instructions to live vigilantly, to obey legitimate authority short of sinning (unless it contradicts the Lord’s Bible commands. Acts 5:27-29; Romans 13:1-7). 

As born-again Christians, we ought to work diligently to choose leaders who will be themselves led by our Creator (1 Samuel 12:13-25). Candidates or proposals that violate the Bible’s commands for life, family, marriage, or faith should never be supported (Proverbs 14:34). With God's help me can defeat them. 

We don't war against people, but we can still fight against the evil! 

Scripture tells us that God has NOT always approved of the leaders believers have chosen or allowed in.

Our choices to pray, to vote, and of who we allow to win in our elections DO matter profoundly, and the increased weight of sin’s grip on this world is unmistakable in the community where we love. Evil people want to take over Texas like never before!

Godless leadership often brings suffering to people -- we've seen it happen here - highlighting the immense responsibility we hold in selecting leaders who will influence society’s moral compass. Election integrity is worth fighting for--it's good to see an army come out.. each to be a watchman or woman.

God’s word instructs us to show respect to delegated authorities, yet with a clear caveat: we must obey authority only when it aligns with His Bible commands (in different translations study Acts 5:27-29; Romans 13:1-7, Hosea 8:4, Proverbs 28:12, 1 Samuel 12:13-25).

What does all this call for? Righteous discernment, contending for the faith, and faithfulness in following Jesus while doing our civic duty because of our real responsibilities.

When we cast our votes, we are making a statement not only about policy but about what we value. As real Christians, we are urged to seek out leaders who desire to be led by our Creator enough to take action in that way (1 Samuel 12:13-25). Supporting leaders or policies that contradict God’s teachings on the sanctity of life, on what God calls a family, calls a marriage, or calls faith.. these are areas we must agree with Him about.

Choosing leaders who uphold these good values is more than a preference—it is a commitment to align ourselves and our actions with God’s desires for justice, for mercy, and for righteousness in this world.

Candidates or proposals that violate the Bible’s commands should never be supported -- you must work together to properly defeat them.

The Bible says, "First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4 amp

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God [granted by His permission and sanction], and those which exist have been put in place by God. Therefore whoever resists [governmental] authority resists the ordinance of God. And those who have resisted it will bring judgment (civil penalty) on themselves. For [civil] authorities are not a source of fear for [people of] good behavior, but for [those who do] evil. Do you want to be unafraid of authority? Do what is good and you will receive approval and commendation. For he is God’s servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, [you should] be afraid; for he does not carry the [executioner’s] sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an avenger who brings punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be subject [to civil authorities], not only to escape the punishment [that comes with wrongdoing], but also as a matter of principle [knowing what is right before God]. For this same reason you pay taxes, for civil authorities are God’s servants, devoting themselves to governance. Pay to all what is due: tax to whom tax is due, customs to whom customs, respect to whom respect, honor to whom honor." Romans 13:1-7 amp

It's true that millions of Evangelical Christians opted out of voting—what a staggering silence from those who should speak up in this land where our voices DO matter.. not only to our society but, more importantly, to God. 

Christians voting matters to God the King! They tell me I don't have a King in this Land, but I do have a King here who will judge! 

What is the kingdom of God? I pray God will help us make it a bit more like that here. They Kingdom come -- His millenium will soon arrive, but until live the life and go vote.

Should a Christian be opposed to globalization?

Does the Bible prophesy of a one-world government?

How should a Christian view the Great Reset by the Globalists and World Economic Elites?

What are the keys of the Kingdom?

Can Globalist Elites who keep funding the rioting, the violence and the chaos on our soil.. be defeated in the USA? 

Yes, and they soon will be forever. 

It’s easy to grow weary in any good work or to think one's vote is meaningless (when the media and counting systems are so whack), but this couldn’t be further from the truth. 

Hey believers, be the smart people who pro-actively resolve the problems. Go vote. 

Be praying Christians who get involved -- smart activity can put eyes everywhere and create new ways to get real news out.  

Scripture calls us to be vigilant citizens, and active participants in shaping a world where our children and grandchildren will live.. and those people who will live around them. 

When we pray for our nation, we aren’t asking for blessings without our own commitment to do our part. Think about it. 

Yesterday I was told to think positive thoughts. I wasn't speaking negatively at all or even speaking. Okay, and I'll start by praying those thoughts and getting my butt out the door! Too many are stopping with positive thoughts (the PMA religion didn't help us last time)! 

I have been a parent (are you one?). If so, you know one doesn’t leave a child’s well-being for their future to chance, we should not sit idly by, hoping for the best while avoiding smart action. We don't get many options it seems with these elections. It comes down to two.. we can't merely do nothing. That won't help. 

God, in His sovereignty, invites us into active partnership, reminding us that faith without works is not true faith at all. This means that our vote isn’t just a political statement; it’s a step toward stewarding the land we’ve been given, to preserve, uplift, and protect it.

As Christians, we face choices between leaders who will either promote values aligned with God’s heart or lead toward what the Bible calls a “reproach.” The sanctity of life, the family as God designed it, the protection of freedoms, and support for our nation’s allies, like Israel, aren’t just political points—they’re moral imperatives that God cares about deeply. Some argue that God’s sovereignty makes our vote unnecessary, but that perspective neglects our duty as citizens. Even in a flawed, earthly system, we’re called to pursue justice, support good leadership, and seek God’s wisdom in every action.

Every election is an opportunity to influence our laws, freedoms, and societal character in a way that reflects God’s principles. The Apostle Paul urged Christians to pray for their leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4), recognizing that righteous leaders cultivate peace, freedom, and the spread of the gospel. When we abstain from voting, we allow others to steer the nation, potentially toward agendas that could limit our freedoms or erode our values.

God blesses each of us with a unique influence, with different gifts, talents, and opportunities. 

And this week with a chance to protect the nation’s future.. to advocate for biblical values, and shine His light in an ever-darkening world. 

Get real, Christian. Live for Jesus in a balanced and tactful way. Jesus is the way. 

Go and vote, not just as a citizen of this land, but as a citizen of Heaven. Be one, seeking to be salt and light, protecting what’s sacred, and guiding our nation toward Him.. toward walking in righteousness together.

Am I thinking of me here? Nope. When I vote I'm thinking about my grandchildren and children and those they will live near.

One of the two candidates will do better for this land and its people than the other one. There are always only two to choose from. Has it ever been more obvious?

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” is a Bible verse from Proverbs 14:34.

Want to change your nation, then start on your knees and read your Bible.

A nation's greatness is determined by its moral character, not by its military, economic, or political strength.

It's my responsibility as a citizen to vote. I've been a parent but I never said, "Hey God's got my children. He's sovereign and will do as he pleases with them."

No, I've had responsibilities to wisely put into action. As parents, we pray and we obey -- yes, we respond to our own responsibilities in raising God's property biblically. They are on loan to us, they are not ours.

I never said as a citizen, "Hey God is sovereign. He will do what he pleases with our nation. He doesn't want me to do anything because he is big enough."

Yes, He doesn't need me, and He can do anything but that doesn't negate my real responsibility as a citizen to go vote.

I won't tell you how to vote or who to vote for, but I will tell you how I vote.

I'm voting for the sanctity of life because every one of you was not born as irredeemable deplorable garbage.

You have great value to God and us voting matters to him.

God expects Christians to go vote.

It doesn't matter to many people, but it indeed does matter to Him.

Please do vote as if life and death were hanging in the balance for people.. because this is exactly the situation.

Ask yourself regarding unborn babies: If a person is declared dead when their heartbeat stops, they should be declared alive when their heart starts. Q: When a pregnant mother is murdered, why is it still in the USA called a double homicide?

I'm voting for the person who affirms the family unit as God defines the family.

I'm going to vote for the one who strongly supports our own military (not for unjust wars as the RINO and Liberal warmongers and profiteers want), and supports our nation's police too cuz I believe in the Reagan doctrine of peace through strength. It worked.

I'm voting for the candidate who will support and stand by our strongest national Ally which is Israel.. they've always stood by us. God himself stands by this Ally, the apple of his eye.

Our government also has responsibilities to us citizens, not to other nation's crimials:

Have those in power been doing their part? What are the real responsibilities of the US government?

To protect the citizens, to punish evil-doers, to uphold the rule of law cuz we are a nation of laws and to uphold the Constitution of the USA.

Yes, beyond protecting US citizens, punishing wrongdoers here, and upholding the rule of law along with the US Constitution.. our government also has responsibilities in providing certain services because they tax us like crazy for these.

Again, our US government is to be managing the economy properly without adding to the debt, promoting public welfare with our tax dollars, and safeguarding national security which includes maintaining a strong border where people don't just sneak in.. as they have been by the millions. They are to be well-representing US citizens internationally (we've actually lost a whole lot of respect from the other nations over the last term), and There ensuring equal opportunity for all citizens.

Any so-called Christian pastor who says (and many of them in our day still need to become a real Christian cuz there is zero fruit..) he will sit this election out and not vote.. (even though it's not against the law of the Land to stay home).. because both candidates are so flawed has lost all credibility. 

He is called of God to set a good example. Of course, he shouldn't tell God's people or anyone who to go vote for, but he could tell how he votes.. biblically. There are Bible principles that he can lay out. In our democratic country, the freedom to vote is more than a privilege—it is a profound responsibility. To abstain from voting, especially for Christians who seek a righteous nation, is a missed opportunity to uphold values that align with biblical teachings. 

In the landscape of a democratic nation, the freedom to vote is not only a privilege; it is a profound and sacred responsibility. When a Christian leader, especially a pastor, opts to sit out an election, citing the flaws of both candidates, he risks more than just a missed opportunity. He risks his credibility as a shepherd of God’s people. As leaders called to set an example, pastors are entrusted with a duty not to endorse candidates by name, but to teach principles that guide believers to vote biblically. For God’s people, voting is an act of stewardship, a chance to influence the moral compass of a nation toward righteousness.

The Scriptures are unambiguous: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). 

This biblical truth underscores why it is essential to uphold values that honor God’s commandments and His design for life, family, and justice. We know that every leader is imperfect, and as long as we live in a fallen world, this will always be true. But our duty is to seek alignment with biblical principles and the Author.

When we individually decline to vote, we ignore the blessings of our democracy and the privilege that God has given us to have a voice here. 

We can put our heads together and figure out how deal with all the cheating. The cheaters and felon-level criminals are not the smart people here. 

It is in this free society that our brothers and sisters around the world are often denied even the most basic freedoms of faith, speech, and assembly. To abstain, especially in a critical time, is to disregard this gift and the mandate to “render.. unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s” (Matthew 22:21). If we are willing to steward our time, talents, and resources for the Lord, how much more should we steward our vote?

Pastors, above all, have a unique platform. They need NEVER tell believers who to vote for, but they can share why biblical values need to shape their choices. 

They can remind believers that while God is sovereign over nations, He has given us the freedom and responsibility to choose leaders who honor His principles. As Christians, we’re called to pray for our leaders not hate them (1 Timothy 2:1-4), and to act wisely to uphold what is true and just. 

Abstaining from this responsibility is not neutrality—it is idiotic surrender.

I say surrender to the Lord you King who paid for your redemption. 

Voting is not about perfection in a candidate or how excited we are for a human (we are done with idols); it’s about choosing the best path to further God’s will in our nation. The kids need us to act right. 

Our choices impact the freedoms and values that future generations will inherit. May our pastors lead with biblical, Holy Spirit conviction. 

Please, let's all recognize that voting is a means to influence our nation toward righteousness, aligning ourselves with the call to be faithful stewards of the freedoms we have been given. We want people saved.. we want citizens safe here until they are saved. 

It boggles the mind -- something ought to be said to the church folk! There were 40 million Evangelical Christians who did not vote last time in the US Presidential election. How incredibly STUPID is that! I say get up off of your blessed assurance and act like the Christian that you claim to be!

Yes, millions of so-called saints have refused to do what saints are called to righteously go do! Get involved and vote. It boggles the mind. If that is you, I respectfully reprove you.. and if you are younger then I respectfully rebuke you -- please change and board the clue bus.

Try to imagine that: forty million voices that could have influenced the nation, forty million opportunities to stand up for godly biblical values left silent. It's wrong!

We pray for change here, that God's Kingdom will come here, yet we’re unwilling to step into the arena where change begins. Scripture calls us to be salt and light, to influence the world for Christ and good, yet many have withheld that influence, expecting others to carry the weight. It's sin!

Our nation’s direction isn’t determined only by leaders; it’s determined by the people who choose those leaders.. or by those who allow the cheating in the counting to continue! So if we believe in righteousness, if we believe in standing up for Christ and His Bible truth. 

If we take a stand for protecting the vulnerable and innocent, it’s time to get up off our “blessed assurance” and act like the Christians we claim to be. It's time to reject the hypocrisy! When we pray and go vote, we’re not just casting a ballot—we’re taking a stand for what we believe in and setting an example for future generations. Why should they have a jacked-up world to live in because you misjudged and were lazy?

Reject all hubris, there's room for learning in Christ. Choose Him as Lord of all in your life. None of us are know it alls.. except God.  Please repent, get real, and believe in Christ
