We’re down to the final days of the presidential election. I can hear your whoops and hollers of joy from my keyboard! No doubt you’ve grown weary of non-stop campaign ads. We all have.

But this suffering is worth it if it would move every Christian to vote pro-life up and down the ballot. I often say I wouldn’t vote a dogcatcher into office unless he or she was pro-life. People usually snicker and roll their eyes, but my point is every politician climbs their own personal ladder to political success. That may be the school board, a member of the state legislature, or congress. Even the White House.

Look how fast Barack Obama rocketed into the Oval Office. He went from a community organizer to state Senate, to US Senate, to President of the United States.

In a majority of elections, voters will be met with a clear choice between good and evil. The evil of supporting unrestrained abortion until birth versus a candidate who will stand for life.

The tragic news is it’s estimated that 32 million Christians will not be voting and that is inexcusable.

If you have or will be voting, thank you! Please share this with any Christian friends, family members, coworkers, church family, or neighbors who plan to sit out this election. Your vote is a matter of life and death.

It is not possible to be a Christian and vote for evil. It is not possible to be a Christian and turn your back on millions of innocent preborn babies who depend upon us to elect candidates who will help us end this modern-day holocaust. If you don’t vote, that’s a vote for death to prevail.

Abortion should be the number one issue for voters. Without the right to life there are no rights. None.

God expects us to be good stewards of our vote and speaking for myself, I don’t want to stand before Him some day and say I took a pass when He gave me the opportunity to deliver children from slaughter and spare their parents from the often-inflicted physical and emotional horrors of abortion.

To those who say they can’t vote for the “lesser of two evils” remember that Jesus Christ is the only one capable of being the perfect candidate. I checked my sample ballot and He’s not on it.

Of course, candidates can be better human beings, but so can you. So can I.

Remember it was God himself who put King David into his royal robes. David was an adulterer and a murderer but God did mighty things through this sinful man. And he can do the same with flawed pro-life candidates. Men and women who are less than perfect but believe in the sanctity of life.

We Christians don’t have the luxury of sitting out this election. God expects more from us when He gives us a chance to reject evil in the voting booth. Deuteronomy 30:19 says, “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a noted Lutheran minister who refused to remain silent as the Nazi were slaughtering Jews.  He said, “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Well, I’m doing both. How about you?
