In the Bible there is a wonderful story which teaches us how to fix disordered government with methods God has established. A wicked woman, Athaliah, had stolen the throne of Judah and proclaimed herself queen over the realm. For six years she reigned by oppression and terror. But a faithful man of God, Jehoiada the priest, had hidden the true king, the young boy Jehoash, from the wicked queen. We pick up the story recorded in 2 Kings 11,
“And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard…and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king’s son…And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, ‘God save the king’…And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’S people; between the king also and the people.”

They counted on others to protect their children by re-electing him, while others counted on them! Every election in America sees 3/4 of the people who say they are committed to the Bible not show up at the polls to vote. Evangelicals could easily elect Biblically thinking people if they would vote for the Biblical values they say they believe. They could even elect a third party candidate—If they would register to vote and vote for Biblical values! The people of God who do not vote are responsible for the devastating slide of our nation toward dictatorship.
