What Does the Bible Say About Ballot Initiatives?

The Bible doesn’t say that faith and politics must not be mixed, but it’s a difficult issue in the church, none-the-less. A healthy way to approach the controversial matters is to take them on when they come up in a book as the preacher preaches through that book. But this is not alway a reality and on occasion, the preacher may need to deviate from his series to tackled and issues the congregation is facing.

On this particular Sunday, the Elders of Trinity Church determined that the 2024 elections, including a ballot initiative regarding abortion, warranted special attention. But rather than cutting away from the series, they determined that a mini-sermon on the topic for three weeks might be more appropriate. Therefore, Pastor Bryan Catherman took about 15 minutes before the regular sermon time to preach the next sermon in a topical mini-series seeking to answer three questions. The first question: "What does the Bible say about voting?" (See that sermon here). The second question and the topic of the video below: “What does the Bible say about ballot measures?”
