Our obligation extends beyond personal faith to participating in the republic we've been given, bringing biblical values into the voting booth.br • Fifty million self-identified Christians aren't registered or don't vote regularlybr • Just 20 more Christian voter participation could create an "earthquake" in American politicsbr • Parental rights have become a flashpoint as parents discover what's happening in public educationbr • Local elections matter more than many realize - school boards, city councils can be impacted by small groups of engaged votersbr • The Republican party has been making inroads with faith communities including Hispanic, Asian, and African American votersbr • Churches and pastors are "multipliers" in getting Christians engaged in the civic processbr • Bible verses must be understood in full context, not cherry-picked to avoid difficult truthsbr • The "minimal acceptable behavior" for Christians is simply registering to vote and voting biblical valuesbr Start by getting registered to vote, then vote your biblical values in every election.
