Synopsis

Christians are a large and influential voting block today. But as each governmental election approaches, an increasing polarity occurs within those claiming the Christian faith. This comes as a result of party-voting rather than voting according to Biblical mandates and authority. To refocus correctly, Dr. Tony Evans goes back to the basics and teaches on how God established government as a divine institution whose tasks include promoting the well-being of those within its realm and protection from evil. Scripture trumps all political alliances making the voting decision a critical opportunity for Christians to promote God's Word and His values through whom they elect. In the face of increasing emotions the Christians representing God's kingdom values should communicate His truths in a manner reflective of the King - in a gracious and strategic way. Dr. Evans also looks at the necessary qualities in a good candidate which include intellect, education, competency, skill and spiritual beliefs - whether certain issues are non-negotiables, and how a responsible citizen is to research a candidates' position in order to evaluate it against God's Word.

As the book rightly states, Jesus didn't come to earth to take sides in our political squabbles (though I think John MacArthur's rece......more

Pastor Tony Evans tackles the timely question: How should Christians vote? I confess I don't know much about Evans--I know he travels in Evangelical circles (and is a chaplain for Dallas's NFL and NBA teams), but as far as I know he is neither a renowned expositor of Scripture nor a student of polit......more

I was struggling to decide who to vote for during the election of 2016. So I decided to purchase this book by Dr. Tony Evans to get some help. I am really grateful I read it because it helped me a lot. As Christians we are to vote for every person in this country as a whole. We are not to vote only......more

I've heard Tony Evans speak many times, and he is a solid preacher / teacher. I'm also interested in politics, so when I spotted this little book I was curious and picked it up and read it while on vacation. It is a decent treatment of the subject. Tony Evans carefully presents the material so as to......more

Rated: A Dr. Evans makes a strong case that we are not on the Democrat's team or the Republican's team. We are on God's team and need to vote in a way that honors Him. Character counts. > Many people want "God bless America" today. They just don't want "One nation under God." > We want God to sign off......more
