Why you need to vote today
Because of our Christian identity, part of our earthly responsibility is to engage with God’s institution of government to incentivize good and diminish evil. We must seek the welfare of the city where we have been sent into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare we will find our welfare (Jeremiah 29:7).

The Rundown: 6 days left – have you voted?
Based on the widely differing policies of the two major parties, it is safe to say that the political trajectory of our state and nation depends on Tuesday's election and the mercy of God. According to new research from George Barna, an estimated 41 million Christians may not vote in this presidential election. The data also shows, however, that millions of them would vote if their pastors, friends, or family encouraged them to vote. With the 2020 presidential election ultimately decided by about 587,000 votes across nine battleground states, the Christian vote–if activated–would determine the election.
