2022 Principle Perspective Journal

Elections & Voting

Order the Institute's Principle Perspective journal

One of the greatest blessings we have as citizens of the United States is the authority to choose our leaders.  Though not the only method of accountability, voting is one of the checks and balances built into our system of government.

Biblically speaking, the privilege of voting is seen as good for society in both the civil and ecclesiastical realms.  Thus, God lays out guidelines for choosing civil leaders as well as church leaders.  It is our duty as Christians to use this gift wisely.

This journal before you is not meant to be a comprehensive work on elections and voting but one that offers a principled perspective on the topic.  Enjoy the read!
