What role should faith play in politics? What role will your faith bring to the ballot box? We as Christians have a necessary obligation to live under the rule of our host nation and to live under the rule of God. What do we owe our nation? We owe our obedience to our governing bodies, no matter who is in power. But we're not good at it, are we? Ultimately, we have an obligation to our rulers, but we must also remember that God rules over all and that we do all for him.
