In The News: Republican Presidential Nomination

The race for the Republican Presidential Nomination has begun to cast its first votes.  How should we think about politics as a Christian?

We are blessed to live in a society where we have a vote, which means that we can choose our officials.  However, a majority is required to elect the best candidates.  Often times, the best candidate is not elected, but that does not mean we cannot force critical issues like abortion, out of control debt, etc. into the political fray.

Ultimately, we are held accountable for how we vote by the Almighty.  He is sovereign over all things, and nothing occurs without his decree.  For this reason, we ought not panic when things go array.  We are not held responsible for the results, but we are held responsible for the stewardship that we have been given, whether voting or our own personal finances.
