Lesson Theme: How Should a Christian Vote
The election season is upon us, yet again. There are now almost as many political ads flooding America’s televisions and papers as there are pharmaceutical ads. (To the casual observer, one might think America revolves around Political Candidates and Nausea!?)
In this age of modern progression, it might be difficult to identify with the boldness of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3:16) until we enter into the voting booth. For there is little else that compares to the peer pressure many Christians face like that applied for their vote.
Today, let’s look at some very common misconceptions about voting. Many times, examining an argument tends to make it fall apart.
Should a Christian vote? Who should a Christian vote for? Is voting for an un-electable person really a form of ‘throwing away a vote?’
Note: No PowerPoint lesson today. Let’s just use our Bibles and make some notes in the margins.

— 1 Samuel 15:11
