As I said last Sunday night: I hope that everyone will vote today, of course. Many have given their very lives to preserve our American vote. Voting is our solemn responsibility, and is a major way for Christians to be "salt and light" in our culture. And I ask that, as Christians, we all physically hesitate before we vote and submit all the information we have learned about the candidates, and even submit the decision of who we’ve decided to vote for – to Jesus Christ our Lord. In honor to Jesus Christ, and in willingness to hear His voice, we should pause in the voting booth and bow our heart to Christ. Listen for His still, small voice and act on whatever He impresses on your heart.
Because of the Cross: Jesus deserves that high level of Lordship in our lives. He deserves the final referral of our heart before we make ANY decisions, especially one of the greatest responsibilities of casting our Vote. He deserves for us to humble ourselves, our intellect, and our research before Him. Some Christians see the act of Worship in the religious box of simply singing songs to God. But the attitude and condition of the heart is the main thing in worship. What I am describing here - is an act of true Worship from the hearts of a grateful, blood-bought, redeemed people. A people who will physically stop and check in with their Lord Jesus before voting. And If we would all say a Prayer for America, right there in that voting booth, how powerful would that be? God only knows.
Remember – Americans will elect a President this year. But Jesus Christ is still Lord over all the earth. May our votes help to keep Jesus Christ’s influence in the forefront of the hearts of ALL American elected officials - and front & center in every Issue before them. - Bruce DeLay
