Vote & Engage: Romans 13 and the 3 Boxes of Liberty
Romans 13 commands Christians to be subject to the governing authorities.
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
(Romans 13: 1-2).
This passage is frequently invoked by pastors and laymen alike as an excuse to avoid civic and political activity. But what is the responsibility of an individual citizen of a republic when the government becomes oppressive?

Years ago, I read the statistics connecting Christians and voting. I was shocked! Only 50% of all Christians are registered to vote, and of the half that are registered to vote only half of those ACTUALLY vote, and of the half that actually vote only half of those actually vote Biblical values. The implications of these statistics are mind-boggling. I quickly realized that if we could raise those statistics even slightly, we could change our country.
The Church Has Power (and we don’t even know it!)
The CHURCH of Jesus Christ, all of us together regardless of denomination or worship styles, have a power at our fingertips that we aren’t using. It is a secret weapon that isn’t really that secret, but it might as well be - we aren’t using it to it’s potential. What am I talking about? The power of our VOTE. Yes, simply VOTING.
