Like it or not, God has seen to my birth in a time and place in which elections are held. Since God determines the rise and fall of kings and kingdoms, then it’s always seemed to me that He has intended for His people to be involved in government given the type of system He has put us in. As those who are to heed every law and ordinance of man and to have respect for civil authorities (with the exception of those who would fight against God), one of those laws within this system is voting. Heeding that law compels me to vote. To do that in a Godly way requires some preparation on my part.
I agree with what you wrote. And I do the same. I think what I wrote was a bit of a non sequitur, maybe a bit off-thread. Because I agree with you.
