Christians Must Vote...Says Who?


"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty – as well as the privilege and interest – of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."

- John Jay (1745-1829), Original Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court


"The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities….If the next centennial does not find us a great nation…it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."

- Rev. James A. Garfield (1831-1881), United States President, Minister of the Gospel

We as Christians need to get out and vote. We must be proactive, make good choices and go to the polls and vote. Otherwise, our leaders are chosen by those who did. Everyone needs to walk the walk..not just talk. Great blog Troy...and yes I did vote!!! Not all whom I voted for were elected but I gave my voice. Love you. Aunt Ginger
