Is there a certain candidate or political party that all followers of Christ should support? What if I’m not sure whom to vote for, or whether to vote at all? Is it even possible to have strong political convictions without causing division in the church? In Before You Vote, David Platt helps us see that it is possible for followers of Christ to participate in an election with an authentic love for Jesus, counter-cultural unity in the church, and a clear conscience before God.Platt urges every Christian to ask seven critical questions before casting a ballot. These questions are based on biblical truths, not political talking points. As a pastor of a church in our nation’s capital, Platt’s message is non-partisan, practically helpful, and biblically saturated. Exercise your vote with humble conviction in a way that magnifies Christ, maintains unity in the church, and aims for the good of all people.
