Dear [ X ],
I am a freelance writer and a columnist for The Presidential Prayer Team. (See "About Me" to the right.) I am writing in pursuit of your opinion about the 2016 presidential election. I
would be grateful if you honored me with a response to my questions below, and
I think many Americans would respect your input on this issue. Feel free to answer
as concisely as you want. Thanks in advance, and God bless!
for Glory,
by Grace,
Nikolas Grosfield
1. The Bible does not
directly address constitutional republics—or personal involvement therein. So what
are 1-2 key scriptures and / or biblical principles that guide your decision to
vote in the primary or general elections, and why?
2. Sometimes Christians
feel that the major candidates in a primary or general election are poor
choices. Thus they may end up voting for whomever they consider to be “the
lesser of two evils,” or not voting at all. Yet ultimately they are accountable
to God for their actions. How would you counsel a brother or sister in Christ
in this predicament?
3. God works through ungodly leaders
all through the Bible. Sometimes He changes their
hearts, sometimes
not, but His sovereignty is never threatened or. How would you encourage a follower
of Christ when elections seem to go awry?
4. The New Testament
tells Christians to “honor,” “pray for,” and
“be subject
to” their leaders, which includes paying taxes.
Meanwhile, the Old Testament warns against trusting
in princes
or man. Given
all the hoopla about the race for the White House, how would you caution a
believer if the election does not go his way—or even if it does?
5. What are the top 1-2
issues for you in the 2016 presidential race, and why?
