Biblical Values Fact Sheet
Statistics show that only 25% of Evangelical Christians vote. Of those who do vote, only half of them — only 12.5% — vote according to Biblical values.
If we truly want to make our vote count towards righteousness, then it is critical that we research the candidates, find out where they stand on the issues and compare it to what the Bible says.
In Luke 11:23, Jesus says: “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Is the way in which you vote advancing the will of God on earth, or the enemy’s agenda?
“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105.
Dear Reader, are you allowing the lamp of God’s word to guide your vote?
The reality is that we are living in a post-Christian world. Principles that are flat out contrary to God’s Word have crept into education, politics, and yes even the Church. These cultural winds of change have been driving the political party’s platforms farther from the foundation of truth in God’s Word.
This is why it is critical for us to all take a step back and remind ourselves of the big picture of God’s truth. Let us review the Biblical Standard, then compare it to the platform of each party below.

We must conform our lives, our choices, and yes, even our vote, according to God’s truth.
“Do not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what God’s will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2.
