This is an excellent message by Daniel Darling published here at FGGAM with the permission of Lifeway Research. You may not agree with some of it, but I am confident you will take away something good from this message, I certainly did. I also posted below a message from Christian historian Bill Federer on, ‘Elections, Ballots and Voting.’ We must not take a blind eye to what is going around us.
Church leaders need to equip their people to navigate the politics of an election year. And some guiding principles can serve pastors well.

The calendar has turned over, and we are now in the thick of a political season in a presidential election year. Pastors around the country understand the gravity of this moment and want to lead their people well. So, what does that look like? More Here
From Got Questions: It is our contention that it is the duty and responsibility of every Christian to vote and to vote for leaders who promote Christian principles. God is most certainly in control, but that does not mean we should do nothing to further His will. We are commanded to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). In terms of politics and leadership, there is evidence in Scripture that God has been displeased with our choices of leadership at times (Hosea 8:4). The evidence of sin’s grip on this world is everywhere. Much of the suffering on earth is because of godless leadership (Proverbs 28:12). Scripture gives Christians instructions to obey legitimate authority unless it contradicts the Lord’s commands (Acts 5:27-29; Romans 13:1-7). As born-again believers, we ought to strive to choose leaders who will be themselves led by our Creator (1 Samuel 12:13-25). Candidates or proposals that violate the Bible’s commands for life, family, marriage, or faith should never be supported (Proverbs 14:34). Christians should vote as led through prayer and study of both God’s Word and the realities of the choices on the ballot. More Here

Elections, Ballots, & Voting: and are Democrat officials violating the 1871 Klu Klux Klan Act?
We do well to remember President Coolidge’s advice, November 3, 1924:”… approach the ballot box in the spirit that they would approach a sacrament … When an election is so held … it … sustains the belief that the voice of the people is the voice of God.” Read More Here
