CB23: This book gives food for thought, but I don't feel like it gives a complete picture of how as Christians we should vote. David Platt implores us to not to put complete trust in any political candidate or party, and to reject political absolutism.
He references Psalm 8:5-8 on page 17 and says "According to the Bible, God has put the world under our feet. He has given us responsibility to oversee it in a way that aligns with his Word and accords with his character". Then he references Romans 13:1-7 where it says "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities". He then forms foundational statements:
1. Government is a God-ordained institution for the purpose of promoting good and evil.
2. Followers of Jesus should be submissive citizens of government with ultimate allegiance to God. (pay taxes, revenue, respect and honor to our governing authorities).

I submit that they should first read David Platt’s new Before You Vote: a wise, refreshing guide in our partisan atmosphere.

In my childhood and even up to now, church “voting guides” have been mostly a joke, ranking candidates on one criteria: how “conservative” they are. Pastors would say “I’m not going to tell you who to vote for” and then give you one of these voting guides that makes it terribly obvious who the “Christian candidate” is. I’m not saying that they were necessarily wrong about who lines up with Christian beliefs, but I do know that for a large swath of people, the term “conservative” has changed to the point where it does not reflect Christian beliefs so unequivocally. I am a conservative, no qualms about it personally, but often I feel like I can’t even use the word with non-Christians anymore because of the new connotations it brings.

But I am here to assure you...
