I’ve entered into the Exponential Conference Blogging Tournament. This is my entry for the titluar question. Check out their blog here: PlantingSpace
Race. Religion. Policy. Character. War. All of these subjects have come up during this Presidential election. The question “does the presidential election matter” is slightly skewed. When we are asked this question, we are really asking if the subjects involved matter. So do race, religion, policies, and character matter? Of course they do. The subjects intertwined in this election give us as Christ-followers a chance to exercise and form an all-encompassing worldview. To show the world that we see the world not through rose-colored glasses as some candidates do, but rather through crimson-colored glasses as we are called to do.
The questions raised in this election will give Christianity and indeed the entire country a chance to converse and dialogue on issues that, outside of this election, we would otherwise not approach. Perhaps this election will be remembered not for which candidate was elected or the amount of money that was raised, but for the questions it raised.
