Preparing for Another Round of Elections
Happy New Year!
CEAI is ready to support you in your calling to serve as a Christian in the schools in 2012. This year one of the ways we can do this is by sharing with you helpful information about the 2012 presidential and congressional elections.
Why is this important? Romans 13:4 tells us that political leaders should serve as “God’s servant for your good.” If we ignore voting we miss the opportunity to provide our input on who might best serve in this important capacity as well as turn away from our responsibility to “fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) While many Christians are called to live under rulers that they have had no input on selecting, we are blessed with the opportunity to select our leaders and we must take this responsibility seriously.
It may seem very early in the year to talk about this, but the window of opportunity to make a difference is very narrow, particularly if you want to influence the outcome of the primary elections. Republican members in Iowa have already cast their primary election ballot in the Iowa caucuses held on January 3. The votes cast in Iowa have narrowed the field of Republican candidates down from seven to perhaps five or six. By the end of January, Republicans in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida will have voted in their primary elections and by this summer all of the primary races will be over. If you are a registered Democrat, since there is no Democrat running against president Obama, you will not be voting in a Presidential primary, but it is likely that there will be US House and Senate Primaries in your state. The general election will be held on Tuesday, November 6. If you want to know when the primary is scheduled for your state you can find the election calendar at http://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/election_dates/.
CEAI is a non-profit organization and as such does not issue political endorsements, however I would like you to consider three principles that may help you sort through your important political decisions this year.
