Faith Time: Voting as stewardship part I
SUMMARY: James Johnson from Northstone Baptist Church discussed the importance of prayer and faith in the context of the upcoming presidential election. He emphasized praying for righteousness to prevail, referencing Proverbs 14:34. Johnson believes that Christians should view voting as a stewardship and privilege, as many evangelicals do not participate in elections. He encourages believers to not become overly consumed by politics but to focus on their relationships with God and family, regardless of the election outcome. Johnson aims to foster a continued commitment to faith and community amidst the political fervor surrounding the election.
