"Next Tuesday, we will not establish the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is not on the ballot. But you can vote to strengthen the common good. There are important things at stake in this election, including many lives in the ongoing war in Iraq. This is an important election for our country, and I urge all Christians to take time this weekend to think and pray about their choices, evaluate candidates on all these issues, then go to the polls on Tuesday and vote.
And after we vote, no matter who wins, we must be at the doorstep of politicians the next day to hold them accountable to the issues that arise from a broad biblical agenda."
- Jim Wallis, Sojourners Community
I am a Christian who happens to be an American who is voting.... I am NOT an American who happens to be a Christian who is voting. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
THAT MY FRIENDS, does indeed shape the way I think, act, and vote.
shalom,
