We are to be a good influence in our community and society. That includes voting. The thing is, we're not to compromise our biblical values in doing so. Jesus said if our salt (preservative power) loses its saltiness, then we are of no use. He said a light should not be hidden under a bushel.
Even if there isn't a presidential candidate you can vote for with a clear conscious, voting locally is a good idea. In fact, voting on a local level probably has a greater impact in our daily lives. For
example, if you're a parent of school age children and cannot afford to
send them to
Christian or private school, you have a voice in electing people to the
school board. You can vote in godly, conservative people who will not
bring in
a liberal curriculum to your kids’ school. For sheriff, you can vote in a person is supports the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, who is strong against crime. Also, some states allow you to vote for judges.
You can
vote to elect constitutional, conservative judges at the local level.
So, you
can be salt and the light of Jesus Christ in your community by voting.
