The Presidential election is right around the corner! We encourage all Christians to pray for the leaders of our country, and prayerfully consider how your faith in Christ informs your vote.

The MyFaithVotes.org website is a great resource for information about party platforms.

Whatever your emotions are leading up to the election, I’d encourage you to read author Max Lucado’s blog about his prediction for November 9th. He encourages us to remember God’s sovereignty and that, regardless of the outcome, “Our good God rules the world.”

The Emmanuel Gospel Center suggests that we pray for the Church in Boston during this election season; and that there will be a display of love and unity among Christians even in the midst of disagreement. Pray that we can promote peace, compassion, and justice that transcends political parties. Pray for healthy dialogue that concerns kingdom values, and not just American values.

The Archdiocese of Boston encourages everyone to vote NO on #4. The Archdiocese is particularly concerned about the serious risks to youth that would follow enactment of this proposed law. We feel an obligation to do all that we can to prevent this from occurring. Click here for more resources, including a statement from Mass Medical Society, Massachusetts Chiefs of Police, and other organizations, who strongly oppose #4.

Additionally, the Massachusetts Council of Churches have provided a few some resources to help Massachusetts voters:
