As Americans prepare for the upcoming election, pastors and church leaders must not be silent on the candidates’ positions regarding biblical and moral issues. Clergy should encourage people to vote and even assist them to the polls. There will never be a perfect candidate for office. Voting is a privilege and a duty and we must vote for the candidate who will best support core values.

No church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for opposing or supporting a candidate for political office. Churches and pastors may speak on biblical and moral issues.  They can educate about the candidates’ viewpoints. They can encourage people to vote and can assist them in getting to the polls. Liberty Counsel’s “Patriot’s Handbook of Political Action for Pastors and Churches” is a thorough resource for pastors’ rights.
