A Theology of Voting in the USA

Does the Bible have something to say about elections? What and how should a Christian think about his or her ballot? Should these questions be dealt with from the pulpit on a Sunday morning? If so, how? Some believe politics and the pulpit should never mix. Others argue that no verse in the Bible says politics is off-limits. Should Christians have a theology of elections and voting? If so, what should that theology be? What Scriptures speak to such a theology?

The Elders of Trinity Church (Holdrege, Nebraska) asked Bryan Catherman to address what the Bible says about voting and elections through three mini-sermons that would equal an entire sermon when heard together. It was a challenging and sensitive task. The result is a theology of voting in the USA. What does the Bible say? How should the Bible inform Christians on the topic? How should a local church handle these topics? Right or wrong, Trinity attempted to address a problematic topic in a time when many Christians have many questions.

This video (mini-sermon series) collects all three of Catherman's questions: 1. What does the Bible say about voting? 2. What does the Bible say about ballot measures (or initiatives)? and 3. What does the Bible say about selecting our government leaders?
