your biblical duty to vote

8/30/2018

On 7 May this year South Africans who have registered to vote will have the responsibility of electing a party to represent their interests in parliament. How you exercise this right and responsibility of voting will have far reaching consequences for almost every area of our lives.

“Select capable men from all the people - men who fear God; trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain - and appoint them as officials...” Exodus 18:21
 
Your Biblical Duty to Vote

As responsible citizens, Christians must strive to honour God in all areas of life (Matthew 5:14-20). We are to oppose evil (Isaiah 59) and work for righteousness. Christians therefore have a Biblical duty to vote.

​“Select capable men from all the people - men who fear God; trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain - and appoint them as officials...” Exodus 18:21

Does your one vote really count?

When you do not vote, by default you cast your vote against the person or proposal you would prefer. When you do not vote, that vote is one less the opposition has to overcome, thus your "no vote" is a vote for anti-Christian policies.

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people”
 Proverbs 14:34

70% of South Africans confess that they believe in God and see themselves as Christians. In 2009, the ANC got 66% and the other parties 34% of the votes. Only 18 million people of the 30 million eligible voters voted. This means that the Christians who did not vote and those who voted for the ANC allowed the pro-abortion, pro-pornography, anti-family ANC to prevail!

“Who will rise up for Me against the wicked? Who will make a stand for Me against the workers of iniquity?” 
Psalm 94:16

The South African Biblical Issues Voters’ Guide aims to inform Christians about how the different political parties have voted on legislation that affects pro-life, pro-family, and free enterprise issues.

​The 2014 Voters’ Guide is downloadable from www.SAvotersguide.org  in English, Afrikaans, Xhosa and Zulu.

Register to Vote!

This weekend, 8 and 9 February - Voting registration stations open 08:00 to 17:00. SMS your ID number to 34139 or go to www.elections.org.za to check whether you are registered.

If you registered to vote in the last election and have not moved to a different residential address, then you do not need to register again for these national elections.

You may apply to register only for the voting district in which you are ordinarily resident. Where you are “ordinarily resident” is defined as the home or place where you live, or to which you regularly return after any temporary period of absence.

“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it…” Ezekiel 22:30

“Now choose life so that you and your children may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19.

Make your vote count!

Affirmatice acrion is not racisit. Racism and apartheif is evil and unjust. What do we as Christians say about tjose reperarions thay are required.
Christians are to make peace with their brother before making sacricifes in the alrer of God. What peace, reperarion and restoration jabe these evil people done?

Dear Babalwa
Affirmative Action discriminates on the basis of race, and that is by definition racism. For further evidence on Why Affirmative Action is detrimental to everyone and unBIblical please see: https://www.savotersguide.org/articles/no-christian-should-support-bbbee-affirmative-action-racism

The real need for restitution is from this government, for corruption, which has stolen trillions of Rands from the country.

Biblical restitution is always personal, from a convicted criminal to the victim(s) of that crime. It is not from one people group to another. Restitution is not meant to be a political scam taking from those who did not do any crime and giving to those who were not the victim (bear in mind also that those entering the work force today were not even born during apartheid!)
