Christian Incumbents & Candidates
If you are a Christian incumbent or candidate for U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative,
Governor, State Senator, State Representative or another major elected office, we
invite you to share your Christian testimony by sending
your answers to
these questions to
[email protected].
If accepted, your answers will be presented on dedicated
GodVoter.com
webpages, and Christian voters will be asked to support you with prayers, votes, and
donations made directly on your campaign website. We may also email pastors
across your state or district and invite them to share your answers with their
congregations. There is no fee for this help.
Why should you share your Christian testimony?
While it will help your campaign and inspire more Christians to run for office,
the main reason for sharing your Christian testimony is to glorify Christ by
proclaiming who He is and what He has done for you. Testifying about Jesus is
both a Biblical obligation -
"Always be ready to give a
defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with
meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15, also see Mark 8:38) - and the greatest
privilege of all true Christians.
What if your Christian testimony isn't spectacular?
No Christian is ever spectacular in their Christian testimony since it
is about what Christ has done and continues to do for a sinner saved by His
grace, to be read by other sinners saved by His grace. All of us are work-in-progress
and recognize that you are seeking a political office, not the pastorate. What
is expected is the desire, obedience, and courage to
testify about your Lord and Savior.
Could your Christian testimony alienate non-Christian voters?
The Bible says God controls political results.
"... Blessed
be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He
changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings ..."
(Daniel 2:20-21).
"Let every soul be subject to the
governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the
authorities that exist are appointed by God" (Romans 13:1).
Pollsters and political strategists may disagree but people who rely on them
instead of on God will neither rely on nor serve Him after the election, so if
you fear non-Christians instead of fearing God, do not accept our invitation.
