People have told me that how they vote is entirely their own business. I get that, but don’t be surprised if another voice whispers reminders of his advice, as Lord of heaven and earth, to disciples like me and you:

Blessed are the poor (Luke 6:20).

Love your enemies (Matthew 5:44).

You cannot serve God and wealth (Matthew 6:24).

I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matthew 25:35).

Contrary to popular belief, Christians do not enter a voting booth alone.

VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE

BUT VOTE
