HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS VOTE? Christians are a large and influential voting bloc today. But as each  governmental election approaches, an increasing polarity occurs within those claiming  the Christian faith. This comes as a result of party-voting rather than voting according  to Biblical mandates and authority. To refocus correctly, Dr. Tony Evans goes back  to the basics and teaches on how God established government as a divine institution  whose tasks include promoting the well-being of those within its realm and protection  from evil.Scripture trumps all political alliances making the voting decision  a critical opportunity for Christians to promote God's Word and His values through  whom they elect. In the face of increasing emotions the Christians representing  God's kingdom values should communicate His truths in a manner reflective of the  King - in a gracious and strategic way. Dr. Evans also looks at the necessary  qualities in a good candidate which include intellect, education, competency, skill  and spiritual beliefs - whether certain issues are non-negotiables, and how a responsible  citizen is to research a candidates' position in order to evaluate it against God's  Word.
