Vote the Bible

Vote the Bible is a turnkey, church-ready resource that equips pastors and believers to connect biblical doctrine with real-world voting decisions on life, family, freedom, and gender.

Purpose and audience

• Equip Christians to distinguish between “political issues” and “biblical issues” so they can speak and vote from a explicitly biblical worldview, not a partisan script.
• Serve pastors, church leaders, and small group facilitators who want to disciple their people on civic engagement without turning Sunday into a campaign rally.
• Help individual voters create a personal “biblical ballot scorecard” so they can evaluate imperfect candidates when Jesus is not on the ballot.

Core message and content

• Centers on five essential biblical categories: Life, Religious Freedom, Marriage & Family, Parental Rights, and Biblical Gender, each grounded in Scripture and summarized in plain, pastoral language.
• Shows that these are first theological issues—life as God’s creation, liberty as God’s idea, marriage as a covenant, parenting as God-given stewardship, and gender rooted in creation and DNA—not merely ideological talking points.
• Includes clear “DECIDE” sections that prompt readers to classify each topic as political or biblical, and to decide whether it belongs in the pulpit, in discipleship, and in their voting priorities.

Format and teaching design

• Concise, full-color booklet designed to be used alongside a slide deck and a three-step adult-learning method: discovery, discussion, and brief lecture.
• Each chapter combines:
  • A summary statement of the biblical position.
  • Key Scripture passages.
  • Short explanations that connect doctrine to public policy.
  • Guided questions and check-box exercises to move people from theory to conviction.
• The closing section walks readers through building a Biblical Values Scorecard, listing and prioritizing core values (e.g., life, free speech, parental rights, limited government) and then comparing candidates against those priorities in prayer.

Why churches and ministries need this

• Provides a legally careful, pastor-friendly way to address controversial issues biblically without endorsing specific candidates or parties, making it suitable for 501(c)(3) ministries and local churches.
• Reframes “hot-button” topics—abortion, religious liberty, LGBTQ ideology, parental authority—as discipleship issues tied directly to the gospel, not optional side conversations.
• Offers a ready-made, reproducible path for churches to:
  • Host classes or workshops on Christian citizenship.
  • Equip small groups or Sunday school classes.
  • Prepare congregations to vote in local and national elections with a clear conscience.^[1]

How to use Vote the Bible

• Churches and pastors:
  • Use the booklet and slides as a 5–6 week sermon series supplement, adult class, or leadership training track.
  • Distribute to elders, ministry leaders, and small group leaders as a standard reference on core public-square issues.
• Christian organizations and networks:
  • Provide copies at conferences, voter-registration Sundays, and civic engagement events to move believers from concern to conviction to action.
• Individual believers and families:
  • Work through the questions together, build a family values scorecard, and use it when researching and marking ballots each election cycle.
