Election 2020

Kirk Cameron is encouraging Christians, particularly the 120 million politically inactive Christians, to vote in the 2020 Presidential Election.

In a new podcast episode, Vice President Mike Pence's daughter, Charlotte Pence Bond, asserted that God has a plan for us no matter the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election.

Dr. Ben Carson urged Americans to give President Donald Trump a second term asserting that "a vote for Trump is a vote for freedom."

Today is Election Day. What will the outcome be? Well, thankfully, because we live in a free society, it all depends on you and me. If you have not voted yet, I encourage you to go and fulfill your Christian duty to be a good citizen and go vote. Now is not the time to buy into the lie that your vote doesn’t really matter.

There are two ways I believe God is especially calling us to intercede for our nation on this historic election day. First, we are to pray for godly leaders to be elected and for elected leaders to be godly (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Second, God is calling us to pray for a moral awakening no political leader can produce.

In a recent interview with Christian Headlines, Pastor David Platt offered seven questions for Christians to consider before they cast their vote.

In a recent interview, Christian commentator and author Eric Metaxas defended President Trump's faith asserting that he has changed a lot over the last 15 years.

In a recent interview, Evangelist Franklin Graham warned that Christian businesses and nonprofits will be under attack and potentially shut down if Joe Biden wins the Presidential election.

In The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis warns of just how easily the enemy can use political engagement to confuse what are ends and what are means. Or, to use language we often employ at the Colson Center, when it comes politics, especially the high-stakes kind that defines the current climate, American Christians have a history of losing the Story in the chaos of the moment.

If you have not yet voted, please vote tomorrow for candidates whose character and policies most align with biblical values. Pray for outcomes that most advance the common good for every American from conception to natural death. 

But do not believe for a moment that the winners of the election will do what only the Lord can do.
