I want to remind you that Voting Day is November 6, Tuesday week, and early voting begins today. So now is the time to prepare by deciding on how and when you will vote. We have voter guides at the church which outline the candidates' positions on the major issues, especially related to moral concerns. Now you must decide-
I would only urge you, first of all, to practice good citizenship as a loyal American, devoted to a free Republic, by participating in the democratic process. Secondly, practice your faith as a devoted follower of Jesus by voting according to your moral and spiritual values.
Billy Graham has been the most influential spiritual leader in our country over the last sixty years. There is no one in the history of Christianity who has preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to more people than has the Reverend Graham. He is a beloved evangelist and prophet among us. So he deserves our respect and attentive response when he says the following:
"The legacy we leave behind for our children, grandchildren, and this great nation is crucial. As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last. I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God."

Lord, may it be so!
