Jack Hibbs: Voting Is a Christian Responsibility

With the election mere days away, California Pastor Jack Hibbs did something rarely seen behind most pulpits in 2024—he issued an urgent call for Christians to vote.

A previous message Hibbs gave, titled “When Christians Fail to Vote,” sought to be a wake-up call to the ramifications of the church sitting out the election—challenging both the pulpits and the pews.

Equipped with dozens of verses from the Bible, as well as quotes from America’s Founding Fathers and some troubling statistics, Hibbs underscored the personal and societal consequences of Believers neglecting the stewardship of their nation.

COVER STORY: How to Disagree and Still Keep It Holy

Disagreements are inevitable. Whether we’re at a social gathering, discussing politics, or debating hot-button topics like climate change or vaccines, differing opinions will arise. In today’s “speak your mind” culture, it’s easy to become embroiled in heated arguments. But as Christians, we’re called to a higher standard in our interactions with others.

The Bible provides guidance on how we can navigate disagreements in a way that honors God and maintains our witness. Here are four principles that are both biblically sound and conveniently applicable to everyday living, for disagreeing but being able to keep it holy.

1. Hear First, Then Speak.

One of the most overlooked aspects of healthy disagreement is the importance of listening. We often enter conversations with the goal of making our point, but the Bible encourages us to listen to hear first, then speak second. James 1:19 instructs, “My beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,” (MEV). It is important to hear others before we respond, especially in moments of tension and conflict.
