I'm not a political blogger:  I don't have the guts for it,  I hate confrontation, and I'm not uber educated on every facet under scrutiny today.  But I do believe this:  The separation of Church and State can never be achieved.  You see, its people who vote.  All male and female citizens of these United States are free and encouraged to vote.  And a large portion of said citizens are Christians.  

"Okay," you say, "that's fine.  But don't push your faith on the rest of us."

Don't push my faith on you?  What are we each doing in that voting booth but expressing our faith, and in affect pushing it on one another?  Voting for what we believe in principal, as well as whom we are willing to put our faith in, is what we gather to do.  

“When you enter the voting booth,” says R.C. Sproul, “don’t leave your Christianity in the parking lot.”

The Christian faith is grounded and built upon the Bible - What we believe to be the very Word of God.  We cannot take it out of our World View because our view of the world is established upon it. It permeates how we vote!  No, it dictates how we vote!

Christ lives in me.  Through His example and His sacrifice I see the world.  Through the lens of His life I try to discern how to vote.  There can be no separation of church and state as long as there is the freedom to have personal beliefs and cast a vote.

Those of us who comprise the Church do not see the Church as four walls. The Church is not a building. The Church is all believers who have put their faith in Christ and attempt (by His Grace) to live as He would have us live, to do as He would have us do, and vote as He would have us vote.  We are the Church.  The Church is the people, not the place where those people worship. Therefore, the only way to separate the Church from the State would be to separated Christians from the election process.

(I am not suggesting this by the way, so no jabs in the comment section please.)

As a Christian I also believe that one day there will be no more voting.  There will be no more voting because One King, Jesus Christ, will reign forever.  It is here and now that we caste our votes, through Faith, in the One who will sit on an eternal throne.  And when that day comes we will celebrate His "term" with no more wars, no more suffering, no more tears, no more injustice, no more orphans or widows, no more homeless and hungry men or women.  What a day that will be.  

Cast your ballot of faith and believe in the One whose term will never end!
