The “Christian vote” is a hot topic for those deciding who to vote for in the upcoming elections. That confuses me because we have such a simple answer to guide us! Our God belongs to no political party and God doesn’t play around in politics. So if you think of yourself as a Democrat, a Republican, or a Canadian Conservative, or a Liberal; remember as Christians we don’t follow a party line. We follow God!

 

God gave us standards to live by and by using those very standards we each can determine the best candidate to vote for. Which one shows the Fruits of the Spirit? Who lives by those standards? Christians ought not to be swayed by either the right or left media slants, which are most likely paid for by huge corporate interests. WE ARE ABOVE ALL THAT!


It’s harvest time in our farmlands right now. Remember the Fruits of the Spirit in the Bible, the very book we value so highly?


But the Spirit produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control...
Galatians 5:19-26 NCV Bible

These godly traits are what we look for in the candidates we want to elect. I love the plain and clear analogy in these common-sense verses! 

“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. 

People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 
Luke 6:43-45 NIV Bible


Are there those among you who are truly wise and understanding? Then they should show it by living right and doing good things with a gentleness that comes from wisdom. But if you are selfish and have bitter jealousy in your hearts, do not brag. Your bragging is a lie that hides the truth. 

That kind of “wisdom” does not come from God but from the world. It is not spiritual; it is from the devil. Where jealousy and selfishness are, there will be confusion and every kind of evil. 

But the wisdom that comes from God is first of all pure, then peaceful, gentle, and easy to please. This wisdom is always ready to help those who are troubled and to do good for others. It is always fair and honest.  
James 3:13-18 NCV Bible

So there you go. The solution is to vote for the candidate that has the most history of honesty, his integrity! “By their fruit, you shall know them,” NOT by what the say in front of a camera. But the one who is most full of wisdom and love toward others – proven by the fruit he’s produced in the past!

♥ Virtual hugs to all of you! I pray you’ll get registered and get out to vote. Remember God’s standards and take measures to stay healthy.
