In a year when citizens will go to the polls and choose their president and many other national leaders, more than one-third of Southern Baptists are not registered to vote, according to Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC).
Land, who recently completed 15 years with the ERLC, called on Southern Baptists to register and to vote their values.
“We believe it is absolutely essential that Christians be involved in the public policy process,” Land said. “We face issues of titanic importance. This is a life-changing election cycle in the United States.
“Voting is an act of stewardship,” he said. “We can reclaim America for the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The ERLC has launched the “iVote Values” initiative to help Christians discover the critical issues. The campaign features an 18-wheel tractor-trailer that will travel across the country. The 67-foot-long “Vote rig” is loaded with digital capabilities, interactive games, online voter registration, multimedia screens and non partisan voter information.
