Dear friend,
The late Chuck Colson once wrote, “The next time you hear someone tell you that Christians ought to take a vacation from politics, tell them to go fly a kite. Listen, it’s our duty as citizens of the kingdom of God to be the best citizens of the society we live in.”
The 2026 midterm election on November 3 is just two weeks away, and early voting has already begun in many states. If you’re not already registered to vote, we encourage you to register today.
Focus on the Family encourages you to make your voice heard and vote for Christian values on or before November 3.
One of our six “Guiding Pillars” is the importance of social responsibility. We believe God has ordained the social institutions of family, church and government for the benefit of mankind.
As Christians, we are called to influence these institutions according to God’s design and purpose. As citizens in a constitutional republic, one way we can do that is through voting.
While some Christians may shy away from “politics,” it’s important to remember many “political” issues today are moral issues that Scripture is clear about and Christians should care about. These issues include:
- The sanctity of human life.
- The definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
- The God-given reality of biological sex.
- The defense of religious liberty and free speech.
- The protection of parental rights.
- And children’s right to be raised by their mother and father.
In the midterm election, voters will elect 35 of 100 members of the U.S. Senate, all 435 members of the U.S. House, numerous state governors and elected representatives, and local officials. Please vote for candidates who most align with your Christian values.
