October 30, 2020 (Friday) [Last Day for Early Voting]
After today, as the weekend gets under way, we can look forward to three more days of politics, news about politics, discussions about politics, and then the election. Millions of people have already voted. Tuesday offers the next opportunity if you have not voted yet. There is a great deal of interest in the election this year. I have received a lot of materials about the candidates and the parties, usually in email. It’s good to see such interest in government; it would be even better if we would all check our facts more carefully before sharing them.
Whichever way the election goes, we should prepare ourselves to live with the results. We have had many different kinds of presidents in our nation’s history, and most have been both loved and hated. Care to review all 45 presidents? Just click on any of them in the list below.
It is our Christian duty, according to the Scriptures, to pray for the leaders of the nation and for all who are in authority. I trust we are all prepared to do that, no matter who is elected. And please don’t say we already know who the winner will be, because the polls tell us. Polls have been wrong many times. The only poll that counts is the election itself. So, whoever the new leaders turn out to be, it is our Christian responsibility to lift them up in prayer.
Voting is our legal right and our voluntary duty. Let your voice be heard. Time is running out.
