Fox News
Some Christians are all in on voting when election time arrives but others have a disdainful view of the process and ignore it. Here's what Jesus told his followers about it.
Dr. Robert Jeffress is senior pastor of the 16,000-member First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, and is a Fox News contributor. His daily radio program, "Pathway to Victory," is heard on more than 1,000 stations nationwide, and his weekly television program is seen in 195 countries around the world. Jeffress has appeared on many media outlets, such as "Fox & Friends," "Hannity," "Good Morning America" and "Real Time with Bill Maher." He is the author of nearly 30 books, including "Not All Roads Lead to Heaven," "Choosing the Extraordinary Life" and "18 Minutes with Jesus," which will be available nationwide Oct. 4, 2022. He lives in Dallas.
We have to ask ourselves: Is there a better way? Should Christians vote? Would Jesus vote?
Jesus gave direction for how Christians should relate to politics and culture in the Sermon on the Mount. He told us to be His salt and light (Matthew 5:13–14). As "salt" in the world, Christ calls us to influence our culture rather than isolate ourselves from it.
