Reader's view: Christians need to take action this election

Christians, wake up. Christians are deciding not to vote? We don’t want Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to win. One of her main points is to reorganize Christian beliefs. Maybe Republican nominee Donald Trump isn’t good, either. So some have decided to not vote?
Minnesota casts its electoral votes for Democrats, so not voting is a vote for Clinton. Do you hear me? If we don’t vote, we’re sinking our own ship.
Our first requirement is praying. You may say God will take care of us; that is true. God will take care of us, but he expects us to not sit on our duffs and do nothing to help ourselves. Jericho’s walls fell because God’s people acted. Daniel was not devoured because he believed and acted on that belief.
There’s a lion waiting to devour us, too. Shall we let it? I don’t think so. People are saying this election is the most history-changing since Abraham Lincoln.
The book of Isaiah says when it’s darkest, God’s glory begins to shine. We are told to let ours shine. That means getting off our arses, voting and stopping the roaring lion from destroying this country and all in it.
Everyone, vote.
