The presidential election year 

2/24/2016

0 Comments

 
The presidential election year is in full swing now.  If you are like me, you often wince at the lack of civility demonstrated in the campaigns.  When the candidates' rhetoric spins a dizzying trail of forthrightness, it becomes difficult to discern the bottom line of the message intended.  Not all Christians will agree as to who is the most deserving candidate to lead our country.  Some may wish to entrust our country to another person not yet on the ballot!  

The scriptures call us to pray for our leaders, so that is what we do for our leaders, even the ones we do not vote for (maybe especially for the ones we do not vote for!)  I recently ran across a writing of John Wesley (who is the founder of the Methodist movement) in regard to election years, that I find to be very helpful and worth keeping in mind this year.

     "I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election and advised them,
1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy: 
2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against:  And
3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side."
