Three reasons why every American Christian should vote


We are in the midst of a presidential election that, even to this political junkie, becomes tiresome with the bombast and vitriol, cliques and platitudes, polls and pundits. Every election, brave candidates step forward for public vetting, reminding us of the deep flaw and corruption present even in the best of humanity.
At times, Christians are tempted to despair, wondering if it’s even worth voting, if the politicians and the programs offered are even worth engaging. Perhaps its better, some muse, to simply sit out an election. Others wonder if, by voting, they are usurping the sovereignty of a God who works through the affairs of men to put in power whom he will (Rom. 13:1; Dan. 2:21; Psa. 75:7).
I understand the temptation toward disengagement in the voting process, but I believe every Christian should vote. Here are three reflections from Scripture that might help inform your decision:

1. We should vote out of love for neighbor.

2. We should vote because God has given us a stewardship for which we will be held accountable.

3. We should vote because it can help speak up for the vulnerable and help gospel advance.

 Voting is a obligation, both to your neighbors and your government.  In the book of Romans God tells us that He appoints the government, in a democracy the people are appointed as her own government.
