Writing in his blog, South African farmer evangelist Angus Buchan, calls on Christians to stand up an be counted at the polls tomorrow.

In a post written on April 25 he says: “As I write this letter the Lord Jesus has impressed very strongly on my heart that we, as Christians, need to take up our responsibilities in the home, in the workplace and in the Nation. South Africa goes to vote on the seventh of May 2014.

“We need to vote! Even if we are not of this World, yet we are still very much part of this dying World.

“We need to vote for a party that stands up for “Truth and Righteousness”. A party that is unashamedly Christian in it’s manifesto.

“As the Word of God proclaims in Isaiah 32: 17, that where righteousness prevails, there we shall find peace.

“We have an obligation, a duty, to vote for a party that stands up in parliament and says: “We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek “. (Romans 1:16).”
