With the Presidential race coming up in 2024 Christians have an important responsibility to ensure whomever they vote for is one of “Godly” character. So it’s extremely important for us to pay close attention to these candidates. Because I believe this Presidential election will be one of the most important in US history.
Unfortunately, many are focused on a specific party instead of the actual character of a person, but, I’m here to tell you Christians need to vote based on “character” and not the “party” these candidates represent. For those who are unsure how to vote, let’s look at how the Bible describes a Godly man, the scriptures read;
Proverbs 11:3 ~ Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
Proverbs 11:5 ~ The Godly are directed by honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
Proverbs 11:9 ~ With their words, the godless destroy their friends, but knowledge rescues the righteous.
Proverbs 11:14 ~ Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.
Proverbs 11:20 ~ The Lord detest those with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity.
There are other scriptures which I believe can also be applied found in the New Testament that normally are applied for leaders in the Church. And since none of our past Presidents have exhibited Godly character maybe it’s time the people of the United States use a different criteria. Time to turn the tables and “elect” someone to office who “truly” deserves the “honor” of that position. A few additional scriptures read;
1 Timothy 3: 2 ~ So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach.
1 Timothy 3:3 ~ He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money.
1 Timothy 3:4 ~ He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.
1 Timothy 3:5 ~ For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
Every believer should read this chapter, because, as you read through it you begin to realize just how corrupt, dishonest, and liars many of our leaders are. It’s time Christians stand up and elect someone who is worthy of the office of President which means we need to hold them to a higher standard.
It’s time the President represent the people and stand against WOKE ideologies!
