Did everyone know that there is an election coming up?
I heard Max Lucado be interviewed on a recent radio program. The topic was 'millions of Christian people' do not vote.
Lucado said that Biblically, it is Christian's duty to vote (Romans chapter 13). "I would tell people to register and to vote," he said.
What would you tell people who don't want to vote? "Take them to talk with someone who lost a loved in the war and ask them their opinion," he said. "Or who fought in some conflict. What about people who have lived in a country where voting isn't an option and ask them their opinion."
But what if I/we don't like our options? Max Lucado said, "I have never told anyone who to vote for. I tell them instead to make a list of things you value and then give them weighting. Some things are of higher value than some others. Then vote for the candidate which most closely identifies with how you think or believe. But each person must vote."
