To enter the ballot box without careful consideration of God’s law-word revelation and His requirements for Christians selecting leaders is an act of arrogance, ingratitude, and abdication. Jesus—-speaking through the transcendent truths of Scripture—-must be our guide and our stay for all civil duties.
And that is why I believe that in this election year it should be the priority of every American home educating parent to teach his children both the American system of government and those biblical principles for the election of leaders which must guide our voting ethics. I recommend two resources: First, my CDs Biblical Principles of the Ballot Box is a helpful overview of the principles and issues, necessary to make wise applications. Second, Buddy Hanson’s excellent book Choose ye This Day: God’s Instructions on How to Select Leaders, is a superb textbook with which to train your children—-and yourself!
