On March 18th I wrote to over 4,000 Oregonians that "There are three major decisions Oregonians must make in 2018."
In 31 days, Oregon's Christians will have taken a large step in answering all three.
That large step depends on what Oregon's pastors, church boards, denominational, and organization leaders,
and you, decide to
do in these next 31 days.
Note this first:
Note well: The average voter turnout in the last 3 mid term elections was 38.7%

The Voter Registration Deadline for the May 15th Oregon Primary is April 24th
Pastors and Church Leaders
violate no law by calling for Non Partisan Voter Registration on
April 8th, 15th, and 22nd. They violate no law by placing Voter Registration Cards on the seats and pews or in the bulletins for Sunday morning services, or having them available at a voter registration table or church office. They violate no law by encouraging their members from the pulpit, on the church web site, or in the Sunday Bulletin, to register, and to vote.
It is a national Scandal how many Bible believing Christians over the last several decades, fail to register, and then if registered, fail to vote. Oregon is no exception ...just worse.
If we are to change the
moral, fiscal, political and spiritual direction of Oregon we must re-engage our citizenship duty to govern through our votes by electing good and godly Christian World View candidates to public office. It is essential that Oregon's Christians
REGISTER and
VOTE in the May 15th Primary to select who goes forward to the November 6th General Election.
We have the votes to make a vast difference in who gets elected to the legislature, state, county, and local offices, including school boards; however,
we are simply negligent in registering and turning them out to VOTE!
Changing government starts with
prayer, personally and collectively as the Body of Christ,
repentance,
instruction,
understanding how the self governance process our Founders gave us works,
voter registration, and
leadership, to Turnout our VOTERS. i.e. the
determination to do the salt and light work of Christian citizens.
Evangelical and Born Again Christians in Oregon will decide the outcome of all three decisions, either by default, or by turning out in greater numbers to VOTE in both the May 15th Primary, and November 6th General Election.
Start today to encourage your pastor and Christian leaders to take the necessary steps to get their members to register to vote on the 3 consecutive Sundays mentioned above.
