I've just finished signing up my two oldest children to volunteer with a Student
Action Team for Generation Joshua. They are recruiting three to four hundred
homeschoolers ages 11-19 who will go and campaign for pro-family candidates
right before the elections. My kids will be going with my mom and three of my
siblings to Virginia to distribute literature and make phone calls in the last
five days before election. All of their expenses are provided for--I only needed
to pay the $25 per child to register them with Generation Joshua.
I
think this is going to be a great opportunity for my kids to get involved in
politics and learn the importance of voting in pro-family candidates. In our
country, we have such a great responsibility to elect our own leaders, and the
next generation needs to understand their role in it. Too many Christians have
minimized this responsibility and either don't vote, or are compromising by
voting for candidates that stand for ungodly principles. Some even teach that
Christians shouldn't get involved in politics. It's not only good for Christians
to get involved, it's our duty! We live in an unique culture and we govern
ourselves. If we vote for ungodly politicians or neglect to vote at all, we are
not governing our own country like we should. We are failing our children and
our grandchildren. It's time to take that responsibility seriously and get
involved.
