As we near the end of a very turbulent election cycle we have important decisions to make. The right to vote is the right to choose to whom we will hand the reigns of significant power; a power that impacts real people. How do we prepare our sons for the great responsibilities of voting and of citizenship in general? Human beings live in community. God designed us this way and cares about how we choose to live within our communities. As a means of helping us live together God also gave us institutions that bear real authority. Scripture identifies three of these institutions: Family, Church, and Civil Government. Because God designed these institutions for our good, it should not surprise us that the Bible has plenty to say about them and ample instructions about the tasks that they are to do and not to do. To equip our sons to be God honoring members and leaders in all three of these institutions we need to seek to immerse them in all that scripture teaches about these spheres of authority so that they will know how to help promote righteousness at home, at church, and at the ballot box. But as the election looms in front of us how should we be teaching our sons about their role as a Christian citizen?
