Kirk Cameron Encourages Christians To Vote: ‘Realign Nation With Heaven’s Values’
By Movieguide® Contributor
As we draw closer to Election Day, Kirk Cameron is urging people to “vote their values.”
“I believe with all my heart that it is and that God did not create us and rescue us through the Gospel to be cowards,” he said in an interview with Fox News. “And that we have a birthright of courage, and if we will lean into that courage as people of faith and live out our values and put feet to our faith in love, we can and will realign the nation with Heaven’s values.”
Cameron continued, “[If] the family of faith does not show up and vote their values, well, that just leaves a great big vacuum and others will gladly rush in to fill the void, and then you end up burning the whole thing down from the inside.”
His latest book, “Born to be Brave: How to be a Part of America’s Spiritual Comeback,” details how Christianity is linked to America’s founding and values.
“The whole thing — from the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence — only works if you understand that the foundation needs to be the biblical, moral, spiritual values that the founders were standing on when they wrote it. And if that goes away, the whole thing crumbles,” Cameron said. “And so if the family of faith does not show up and vote their values, well, that just leaves a great big vacuum and others will gladly rush in to fill the void, and then you end up burning the whole thing down from the inside.”
“Born to be Brave” shares “biblical insights and true stories of individuals who acted bravely out of love for God and others,” according to a description of the book. It encourages readers to “stop thinking our opponents are too big for us to overcome and start seeing our culture as something we are called to mold [and] recognize the Christian backstory of America and see how this gives us direction for the future.”
Cameron posted about “Born to be Brave” on his Instagram, writing, “I want you to get a copy because it will give you, as a person of faith, tools for real hope and courage in the midst of the moral and cultural dumpster-fire we are experiencing in America. God did not journey from heaven to Earth to make us cowards in the face of evil; we were born to be brave!”
Movieguide® previously reported on Cameron encouraging people to restore Christian values to culture:
Actor Kirk Cameron is explaining why Christians can’t give up on the culture just yet.
“I’m not waiting for someone or some divine event to exit us out of this world to escape the culture,” Cameron said as the release of his new book, Born to Be Brave: How to Be a Part of America’s Spiritual Comeback, approaches. “I want an opportunity to partner together with you and with my kids and with your kids and grandkids and as a family of faith to restore the culture, revive the principles that bring heaven to earth. So, please don’t give up on the culture. Give up on fear, give up on defeat, but don’t give up on the culture.”
Cameron went on to explain how Christians can help change the culture.
“I’m praying for culture to have a change of heart, and that’s what you and I ought to be doing when we look at the world around us,” he said. “There’s reasons for outrage every single day when we see what the destroyers of liberty and the haters of God are doing to our children and to our institutions and to our country and the school systems and everything else. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
“In fact, when what’s on the inside of the people of America — the values, the faith and the worldview is decidedly good and in line with the values of heaven — that eventually works its way out into our families, into our communities and into our culture,” he continued. “That’s how good cultures are born. People of faith who have courage and are brave to stand up for what they believe in, speak the truth in love and apply these principles not only in your personal life but also to your public life, that’s our task.”
