Do Christians Have An Obligation To Vote?
A viral clip took the internet by storm earlier this week of a pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina admonishing any Christian who believes it is their spiritual obligation to vote. Without naming names, Loran Livingston took exception with the Trump Bible that incorporates the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Livingston went so far as to claim that Christians don’t have a civic responsibility to vote but a civic privilege.
While I appreciate any time a Southern Baptist pastor is willing to call out his own side to this degree, I think Livingston got one thing wrong. Watch:
The fellowship hall at our church is rented out for district voting.
I believe that Jesus would want me to vote for a candidate that supports his teaching and it ain’t Biden.
Can someone tell me why it is wrong to show how the Bible was part of the inspiration for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution? I see some condemn the idea and I absolutely do not understand that.
