June 11, 2024

The idea of voting in general and especially voting Biblically, should be a matter of personal integrity to all who claim the title “Christian.” . Earlier proverbs in this collection (Proverbs 25:1) noted a similar idea (Proverbs 28: 12, 15, 28). Godly leadership in a nation generally leads to good outcomes (Proverbs 11:10; 14:34; 20:26; 25:5).
