The importance of – and mandate for – Christians in the public square

Yesterday Sharon and I went to vote. As I went up to the table to check in, I pulled out my drivers license like I always do when I go to vote....the poll worker said, Oh! Thank you, just letting you now that I cannot ask you for your drivers license. Would you contact your Representative in Santa Fe about this? She was very nice. This poll worker had the guts to being this up right at the table! Yes, here in New Mexico you do not have to show your drivers license to vote. It opens the door to voter fraud.

This is not new to us, but it is an issue that needs to be addressed NOW! What’s going on GOP and DEMS? It is your duty to protect the integrity of our elections! Why is this issue being kicked down the road? Is this how weak the GOP is here? MY GOODNESS! Why then REAL ID??? The GOP could not even beat the worst governor I have seen in my life. The state has become a slaughter house for God’s babies! Where’s the Church? Pastors? Now the governor is building a 10 million dollar baby killing factory in Las Cruces????? Tell me why the GOP could not stop that???? Its our tax money that is being used to build this slaughter house???!!! I have said this for years: The GOP NEEDS A NEW LEADER!

NASHVILLE (BP) – Mike Griffin, public affairs representative for the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, doesn’t feel politics is something to avoid.

“Christians engaging in elections should not be seen as an extracurricular activity,” said Griffin, who has advocated on behalf of Georgia Baptists in the state capitol for 11 of the 17 years he has been a presence there. “It’s the core of their citizenship responsibility!”

Less than two weeks remain of an election season that seems to have reached “high” on the burner setting in January and is currently in the broiler. It would stand to reason that the general public would be ready for a break.

According to a recent study by Lifeway Research, though, churchgoers are becoming more accepting of pastors addressing current issues, with 80 percent even agreeing that it’s part of the job.

Griffin’s counterpart for the South Carolina Baptist Convention, Tony Beam, said it is important for the distinction to be made that pastors should focus more on how issues are addressed in Scripture, not according to a political candidate’s stand. More Here
