Church is careful not to mix religion and politics from the pulpit, yet it is very clear that the sentiment/direction of the church is that if a person proclaims to be a Christian then they should vote a certain way. Why? Because it is said; “a Christian should not vote for someone that supports laws for pro-choice in regards abortion, laws that allow gay marriage, laws that redefine what marriage is… and so on.” If Jesus wanted to change the laws of the land, He would have been involved in politics. Please recall that the populace at Jesus’ time was expecting the messiah to be a KING, hence a politician. But as we all know, Jesus veered completely away from politics. So let the populace at this time not expect the church to be a politician and may the church not influence the laws or the law makers rather be a fisher of women and men. When asked whom should I vote for? A person should be encouraged to research the candidates and vote for whomever this person finds best, and if asked what about the laws that impact social issues, the answer should be something like; “it is not about the law rather it is what each one of us reflects to those around us what LOVE is and when successful, those around us will choose based on LOVE.”

God wants people to choose to do what PLEASES HIM and not for the law of the land to require the people not to do this and not to do that. So Christians should promote that each man and woman chooses for them self and hope and pray that they choose what PLEASES HIM. In essence, any law in regards social issues becomes irrelevant and not even worth talking about. So let us all seek God in every little thing, and do what PLEASES HIM.
