A new Round Rock Texas-based Christian group called Life Vote US reminds Christians of the reasons to vote Among the 10 they list here are two

Voting is a simple yet significant way to do something about public policy in our country As people of faith we will be held accountable for our actions as well as our lack of action Luke 1248 says From everyone who has been given much much will be demanded and from the one who has been entrusted with much much more will be asked

Katie Winniford with Life Vote US sees voting for Christians as imperative

WINNFORD The Godly people who know Biblical scriptural values need to be the ones to select the lawmakers and the judges because theyre the ones who make the laws that we all have to live by If we forfeit that obligation we are allowing the ungodly to make our choices that will determine how we all have to live
