My Candidate is Not Standing

A recent 52-page letter (an unprecedented intervention by the House of Bishops in the Church of England) – said “it is the duty of every Christian adult to vote, even though it may have to be a vote for something less than a vision that inspires us”. In John 17:12-16, Christ clearly said that His disciples, His followers, are not of this world. They are not to behave and act as the world, that is the society around us, does. We have to live in the world – but we are not to be part of it. Who do we take notice of – fallible human beings or the words of Jesus Christ?
