Dear Christian:
“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” (Proverbs 29:2)
If you’re looking for a Virginia Christian voter guide for the November 4, 2025 elections, you’ve come to the right place. Virginia Christians will help determine who leads our Commonwealth. We’ll decide whether amendments enshrining unlimited abortion and redefining marriage become permanently embedded in our state constitution. Additionally, we’ll elect a governor who will either protect or assault religious liberty, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
The reality is that many believers will skip voting simply because they feel overwhelmed. However, this shouldn’t be.
The Biblical Mandate: This Isn’t Optional
Some Christians argue that politics is “worldly” or that voting compromises our witness. However, Scripture tells a different story.
For example, when Nehemiah heard that Jerusalem’s walls were broken and its gates destroyed, he didn’t spiritualize the problem away. He wept. He fasted. He prayed. And then he took action to rebuild what was broken (Nehemiah 1:3-4).
Similarly, the Apostle Paul commanded Timothy to pray for those in authority, “that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Notice Paul didn’t say “pray and hope for the best.” Instead, he connected prayer with outcome—a peaceful life where Christians can live out their faith freely.
When righteous people increase in influence, the people rejoice. Conversely, when we abdicate our responsibility, the wicked rule—and the people groan.
This is where we are. Virginia is groaning under policies that contradict God’s Word. Therefore, God is calling His people to stand.
You Are a Watchman on the Wall
The prophet Ezekiel received a sobering commission from God:
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.” (Ezekiel 3:17)
A watchman’s job is to see danger coming and sound the alarm. Not to panic. Not to despair. Rather, to warn with clarity and urgency so the people can prepare.
That’s what these next 14 days are about. Warning. Preparing. Acting.
For instance, if you stay silent while your neighbor walks toward a cliff, you share responsibility for their fall. Likewise, if you stay home while Virginia enshrines abortion and redefines marriage in our constitution, you share responsibility for the consequences.
This is a matter of stewardship. Consequently, God has given you influence—your one vote, your one voice, your one sphere of impact. What will you do with it?
What Virginia Christian Voters Must Know About November 4th
This isn’t hyperbole. Rather, these are the literal issues on Virginia’s ballot:
Constitutional Amendments that, once passed, cannot be easily undone:
- An amendment establishing a “right to reproductive freedom”—which means unlimited abortion through all nine months, potentially without parental notification
- An amendment redefining marriage in Virginia’s constitution
Governor and Statewide Leaders who will determine:
- Whether religious organizations can operate according to biblical conviction
- Whether parents or the state control children’s education
- Whether biological males can compete in girls’ sports and access girls’ facilities
- Whether Virginia protects life or expands access to abortion
House of Delegates races that will decide:
- School choice and parental rights legislation
- Religious liberty protections
- Sanctity of life laws
- Tax and economic policies affecting your family
The Bible teaches that government exists to punish evil and reward good (1 Peter 2:13-14). Therefore, when government inverts that purpose—punishing good and rewarding evil—God’s people must act.
“But My Vote Doesn’t Matter”
This lie keeps more Christians home than any other.
The truth? Virginia elections are often decided by razor-thin margins. Every Virginia Christian voter who stays home potentially changes the outcome. For example, in 2021, Glenn Youngkin won the governorship by just 63,000 votes out of 3.3 million cast. That’s a 2% margin.
In 2023, control of the Virginia House of Delegates came down to a handful of races decided by hundreds of votes. In fact, in some districts, it was fewer than 100 votes.
Your vote matters. Your neighbor’s vote matters. Furthermore, your church family’s votes matter.
However, here’s what matters even more: God uses faithful people to accomplish His purposes. He didn’t need Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls—He’s sovereign over all things. Nevertheless, He chose to work through Nehemiah’s faithful action.
Similarly, He doesn’t need your vote to accomplish His will. Yet, He’s calling you to faithful stewardship of the influence He’s given you.

Step 4: Pray for Wisdom “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5)
God promises wisdom to those who ask. Accordingly, pray for discernment. Pray for Virginia’s leaders. Additionally, pray for your fellow believers to engage faithfully.
Step 5: Commit to Vote Put it on your calendar. Set an alarm. Request time off work if needed. In short, make a plan.
And here’s what matters most: Don’t do this alone. Forward this to five Christians you know. Share the voter guide with your small group. Furthermore, challenge your church family to engage.
Hope Anchored in God’s Sovereignty
Here’s the balance we must maintain: urgency without despair, action without anxiety.
God is sovereign over all elections. He “removes kings and sets up kings” (Daniel 2:21). Moreover, He “works all things according to the counsel of his will” (Ephesians 1:11). No election outcome will surprise Him or thwart His eternal purposes.
However, that sovereignty doesn’t negate our responsibility. In fact, it empowers it.
We vote because God commands it. We engage because He’s called us to be salt and light. Furthermore, we act because we’re stewards of the influence He’s given us in this time and place.
And then we trust Him with the results.
The outcome belongs to God. The obedience belongs to us.
