God’s Values Are On The Ballot—Why Aren’t Christians Voting?

ballots

What’s on your ballot is not really candidates—it’s Values. God cares about governments because governments impact people—people He values.

Does God want families and communities free to thrive?

Does God care about rampant crime?

Does God want women and babies protected from harm?

Does God say parents have rights to protect their own children from sexualization?

Does God want people free to speak and to worship?

Does God want His people to do our part to influence the world we live in? – YES! Your vote is a gift–fought for by our country’s founders and the millions of soldiers who died protecting it. Your vote is also a privilege and a duty.

God has asked His people to actively care for others and our world. Yet, recent research says 32 million Christians who regularly attend church are unlikely to vote this election. Almost HALF of all people of faith say they don’t plan to vote. The margin of victory in the swing states during the 2020 presidential election was only about 600,000 votes.

Do you know what this means? If even a tiny percentage of non-voting people of faith would just show up to vote, our country would be restored to basic Biblical values of freedom and strength almost immediately.

The national study by George Barna of Arizona Christian University’s Christian Research Center reveals that the 49% who are not likely to vote in November, represents about 104 million eligible non-voters in the “people of faith” segment. Of those people, it’s predicted that 5 million additional Christians would likely vote if their pastor encouraged them to do so.

Barna said, “[T]he 32 million Christians sitting in the pews each week who refuse to vote are a gamechanger. It’s low hanging fruit for pastors as they try to motivate those congregants to carry out their civic duty and honor God through their influence for things that matter in our culture.”

If Arizona pastors simply encourage their members to vote, it will change everything!

If Arizona church-goers simply encourage each other to vote, it will make a HUGE difference!

One main reason Christians say they don’t vote is because they feel uninformed. Get together with your Bible study groups; grab some friends in your faith circles! Have coffee and discuss together what’s on your ballots. We’re asking people to hold a ‘Ballot Coffee/Party’—just a simple coffee or casual gathering where friends and family can discuss their ballots together and have fun while completing their own ballots, based on their values and accurate information. We have our AZWOA Voter Guide, as well as other trusted sources’ guides on our Election Resources page. Let us know about your ballot party, and we can help (and/or share your photos!).

(We’re also hosting two ‘Ballot Parties’ at Mochilero Kitchen locations in Peoria and Scottsdale—DETAILS BELOW!)

Christian author, American historian and Founder of WallBuilders David Barton, Calls Out Pastors And Priests To GOTV This November, Securing Our Christian Values He discusses the current data on church-goers’ views of voting, as well as excellent reasoning for WHY Christians are CALLED to exercise our voice and influence throughout our world!

“Does God Expect Christians to Vote?” from the Christian apologetics site, GotQuestions.org:

It is our contention that it is the duty and responsibility of every Christian to vote and to vote for leaders who promote Christian principles. God is most certainly in control, but that does not mean we should do nothing to further His will. We are commanded to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). In terms of politics and leadership, there is evidence in Scripture that God has been displeased with our choices of leadership at times (Hosea 8:4). The evidence of sin’s grip on this world is everywhere. Much of the suffering on earth is because of godless leadership (Proverbs 28:12). Scripture gives Christians instructions to obey legitimate authority unless it contradicts the Lord’s commands (Acts 5:27-29Romans 13:1-7). As born-again believers, we ought to strive to choose leaders who will be themselves led by our Creator (1 Samuel 12:13-25). Candidates or proposals that violate the Bible’s commands for life, family, marriage, or faith should never be supported (Proverbs 14:34). Christians should vote as led through prayer and study of both God’s Word and the realities of the choices on the ballot.

Calling all people of faith!!—This great and free nation was formed by ‘the church’. And it will ONLY be revived by people of the church! EVERY ONE of us must do our part—by prayer, by grace, in truth, through community, in action.

  1. AZ’s Prop 139
    Abortion on demand (up to birth due to all the exceptions in the proposition)
    The Lord’s Psalm 139
    13 For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
    14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
    15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
    16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
    So, who’s law you gonna vote for

  2. Sad but true! I know a few Christian’s who say they love Jesus and he is their savior and they have TDS! It’s appalling! Glad I’m not god and he’s patient for now! Let god be their judge and I will gently tell them how they think is wrong and let god change their hearts! It’s not my place to judge them but it is my place to judge their behavior!

  3. Because there are so many lunatic crooked Nevertrump pastors who justify selling out to the illegal alien and LGBTQ lobbies with TDS. Then they convince foolish old people in their flocks.

    • This is explained in detail in the recent book, “Shepherds for Sale”. There are formerly conservative organizations pressing pastors to ‘nudge’ their congregations in the direction of ‘affirmation’ of LBGTQ values. The devil knows his time is short and is working overtime in evangelical churches. Why bother with mainline churches? They’ve sold out long ago. Be vigilant. Choose your church wisely.

  4. Polls say this, Polls say that. I have never had the opportunity to participate in an unsolicited poll. Anyone with half a brain know Polls are manufactured to present a biased outcome

  5. why don’t they vote? Knowledge – fear of being found – some living a reclusive life – keep me out of the way – they won’t know it’s me – fear of being found out – that their vote if found out would lead ‘them’ to them… and they desire an underground existence and place. Fear that ‘they’ will be coming for them. And perhaps this could be true in a time not far off over the horizion. Would, could Christians be persecuted again? Perhaps they already are to a degree – as the Jews have now be selected out on campus – vote – etc. I’ve had political party personal come to my home… because why – because I participate. Stepping up no fear – now part of the game. Political stickers on cars? Not so much anymore.. might have to use that weapon in the glove box? Society has become extreme and is becoming more so is it not. Out right participation comes with a price? Some don’t want to pay – and others depend on that being so? Don’t play their game.. what’s over the horizion will be here – step up BE COUNTED!

  6. I don’t know about the ‘recent research’ but every Christian I know is voting. For Trump.
