Voting as a Christian
How should Christians vote? Should Christians vote at all? Pastor Josh McPherson emphasizes the importance of aligning our votes with biblical principles and Christian values rather than political parties or personal preferences. When Christians vote (and yes, they should vote), we need to think in the category of "Thus sayeth the LORD." We need to first acknowledge that our ultimate allegiance is to Christ.
