Voting issues


It's never proper under our system of government for churches to tell their members how to vote.


But at the same time it is imperative that we Christians study the issues and vote according to our Christian convictions.


A friend sent me this to show what Catholics have done to encourage their 67 million people on election day. As my friend said, "They don't tell them how to vote but they sure do get their message across."

Also I'd suggest you visit the website of our own Ethics and Religious Libert Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and scroll down on the 'topics' page to "Citizenship."
