Vote To Lessen Evil
The nation's direction hangs on a knife-edge in this election.

With slim majorities at stake in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the direction of the country teeters on the brink as Americans decide Nov. 5 whose priorities and policies will prevail in the halls of Congress.
For now, Democrats hold a razor-thin voting majority in the Senate thanks to four left-leaning Independents and a Democrat vice president who serves as the tie-breaker when votes are even. Meanwhile, Republicans hold an eight-seat lead in the House of Representatives.
But the balance of power in the federal government will soon be tested by the American electorate. All 435 seats in the House and 33 in the Senate are up for grabs before the 119th Congress convenes Jan. 3. Of the 33 Senate seats in question, 10 are held by Republicans, 19 are occupied by Democrats and four are Independents.
And for Bible-believing Christians, this election couldn’t be more consequential. Much more important than partisan politics, the Judeo-Christian foundation on which America was established faces a perilous future. From the sanctity of human life, to God’s design for human sexuality, to parental rights and public safety, the fabric of a God-blessed America seems to be unraveling right before our eyes.
So, what is a Christian supposed to do when candidates on both sides of the political aisle fail to thoroughly uphold a Biblical worldview?
