Jack Hibbs认为基督徒有神圣的责任参与政治,投票是履行这一责任的方式之一。他认为不投票等于将选票拱手让给那些反对基督教价值观的候选人。他呼吁基督徒应该克服情绪,服从圣经的教导,选择最符合圣经世界观的候选人投票,即使候选人并非完美无缺。他还批评许多牧师的沉默,认为这是缺乏敬畏上帝之心和认真研读圣经的结果。他鼓励牧师们勇敢地站出来,为信仰发声,装备信徒应对挑战。Hibbs认为,教会的参与程度将决定本次选举的结果,并呼吁基督徒不要因牧师的沉默而放弃自己的责任,而应积极参与投票。 Frank Pavone强调基督徒应该根据圣经的教导,评估政治候选人和政策,并积极参与政治。他认为,支持那些能够保护基督教价值观的候选人,即使这些候选人并非完美无缺,是履行基督徒责任的表现。他批评许多牧师未能清晰地向信徒解释民主党对基督教信仰的攻击,导致信徒无法分辨候选人的差异。Pavone认为,当前的政治斗争是善恶之争,天主教徒和基督徒应该觉醒,认识到保护信仰和价值观的必要性。他还指出,有十个州的选票提案将导致极端堕胎合法化,呼吁选民积极参与,阻止这些提案通过。他认为,如果教会不参与投票,将会导致基督教价值观的丧失,并面临更大的政府压制,信徒将面临信仰与法律的冲突,家庭关系也将遭到破坏。

Pastor Jack Hibbs talks about the repeated biblical exhortations to take part in government. Fr. Frank Pavone talks about the sharp stakes for the pro-life movement in next week's vote.
