The Bible calls us to be good citizens who love God and love our neighbour – how does that affect how we vote?






People say that religion and politics shouldn’t mix, but God has a lot to say about how we live together. Politics touches many things in our lives, and so, as Christians, we should examine our political beliefs in the light of what God says.
