America’s first civil government was based on a covenant with God. Those who came over on the Mayflower wrote the Mayflower Compact before they stepped onto American soil. Paraphrased, they basically said, “We have come to this nation to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ and to establish good government based on His principles, and we covenant with God to do that.”

Twenty-three years later, the colonies made a joint covenant saying basically the same thing. It was the first time in history for there to be anything like a United States where the various colonies cooperated together. Our government was set up on biblical principles such as that in Exodus 18:21, which said to choose rulers of tens, fifties, hundreds, and thousands (in other words, local, county, state and federal government.). These were to be “able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.” Our elections are based on this principle and these qualities are what we should be looking for in candidates. It’s not important whether they are Republican, Democrat or any other party. We should seek to elect God-fearing people who will honor God and advance His principles. (Kandi’s injection: I would suggest that we know they are God honoring by the Bills, Resolutions, Executive orders or policies they put forth and how they vote or support those Bills, Resolutions, Executive orders or policies put forth.)
