“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (I Timothy 2:1-2)
Unless you have been living in seclusion as a hermit or you have been living in a cave you know that tomorrow, Tuesday, November the eighth, is Election Day for choosing a president of the United States of America.
God’s word demands that we pray for all people who are in authority. Those in authority would be the current president and whoever succeeds him in office. It would include senators and representatives, Supreme Court justices, police officers, sheriffs, their deputies and other office holders.
Did you know that not voting does not relieve you of the above responsibility? Did you know also that parliamentary law says that if you abstain from voting that your vote is cast with the majority?
I encourage you to vote for the candidates, especially President and Vice-President, whom you believe to have the nearest Biblical views on abortion, same sex marriage and the many other important issues.
