NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Election Day: Tuesday, November 3
Christians in many parts of the world face oppression and persecution. They live under governments they are powerless to change—governments that oppose their faith, silence their voices, and make preaching the gospel a risk to their lives.
By contrast, Christians in our country are blessed with the freedom to speak about our leaders and help choose them without fearing for ourselves or our families. Yet according to Barna Research, fewer than three of five self-professed Christians voted in the most recent general election.
Many today seek to remove the name and message of Christ from the public square. Voting gives Christians an opportunity to promote, protect, and preserve godly government.
The leaders we elect—or fail to remove—exercise significant influence over:
our First Amendment right to religious liberty;
our freedom to proclaim the gospel; and
the moral direction of our nation.
Those leaders can defend these liberties or work to restrict them. They can guide our nation toward righteousness—or toward moral peril.
