DISCLOSER....


In this week's message, I wanted to talk about our responsibilities as Christians when it comes to voting. In the last presidential election, it is estimated that approximately 30 million Christians did not vote. These 30 million votes have the ability to change the course of a nation if they will reengage in the process.


As a pastor, I will never endorse a particular candidate or party from our pulpit or as an official stance of our church. The church is not the place for that. The thing that I will promote is God's standards when it comes to what we will support.


If you are looking for a perfect candidate or party, they don't exist. Never have, and never will. That's why we pray and seek God for his mind and will as we enter the voting booths. I encourage you to listen to this message with an open heart.

I will say, as a pastor, and a person, my passion for this subject and love for God and our country probably does come across strong in this message. I believe in the power of the local church and why we should be engaged in the process. Contrary to popular belief, our government never set out to keep the church out of the process. The separation of church and state was meant to keep the government from having a say in what the church can teach and promote inside and outside the walls.


I want to encourage you to use the available resources that are out there to do your research on candidates that are on the ballot. Not just the ones that are running for the national offices, but more importantly, who will you be electing in your local elections. All politics at their heart are local.


The last thing you will hear in our podcast this week is an honest prayer for our leaders and our nation. No matter who wins elections, we must understand that God already knows it. Our job as Christians never changes, no matter who is in charge. The church and Christians are called to lift up and pray for our leaders. Whether you agree with them or not.


If you find this message helpful, I encourage you to share it with others as we enter this election or others in the future.


Pastor Jason
