How should we then vote?
Does the Bible have anything to say about voting? Are there any biblical principles that can guide us in our choice of one candidate over another?
For example, if you have two socialist candidates representing the major parties, which one should you vote for? Is God pleased when we vote for the lesser of two evils? May a Christian rightfully vote for a woman who is running for political office?
Touchy questions, huh?
Believe it or not, the Scriptures have plenty to say on this relevant topic. In fact, II Timothy 3:16-17 tells us that Scripture speaks to every area of life - even politics, education, and entertainment. We must not be ignorant of what the Bible says.
So what does the Bible say about politics and voting? Many have found my book, God's Plan for Civil Government, to be helpful in explaining the biblical principles.
William Einwechter, author of Ethics & God's Law and English Bible Translations had this to say, "Scott Eash gives more biblically sound teaching on civil government and Christian involvement in politics in this booklet than most writers achieve in works more than twice its size. If you are looking for a brief, yet clear, practical introduction to what the Bible says about civil government and what your responsibilities are as a Christian citizen, this is it. Buy it, read it, and practice its principles."
If you buy this book now, you should have enough time to read it before election day!
