Principles for Choosing a Leader
"RC Sproul explains the God-ordained role of government and our responsibility to vote according to principles rooted in the kingdom of God."
Listening will take approximately twenty-five minutes. If you aren't interested in history, stick it out through the first part--it's well worth your time.
Excerpts (for those who don't have time or don't want to listen):
Abortion:
"God hates abortion."
"It can't be acceptable to ethical people."
Taxes:
"Any time you vote a tax on somebody else that's not a tax on yourself, you're stealing from your brother...A Christian shouldn't be caught dead filling his own pockets at the expense of somebody else."
"...we should be voting for what is right, for what is ethical, and our consciences on that score have to be informed by the Word of God, not by our wallets."
In closing:
"And so I plead for you that when you enter the voting booth this Tuesday that you don't leave your Christianity in the parking lot and you'd be bold to speak to these issues even if it means somebody picks up a rock and throws it at your head [reference to 1st missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas] because its through tribulation that we enter the kingdom of God."
Edit: spelling
