Last night was the first presidential debate for 2024. I have heard a lot of passionate statements about it. Emotions ran high and low. Statements ran concurrent to the perception of one’s candidate.
I thought this was a good time for a quick reminder of where Christians stand as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven and representatives of the Kingdom of God. Remember:
- Involve yourself to whatever extent you feel called, but keep in mind you serve a Lord who transcends our nation’s politics.
- Treat your political opponents the way you would want to be treated.
- No matter what happens in our political situation (or world politics), God rules over all.
If I may offer a quick commercial, chapter four of my new book applies the story of Israel’s demanding an earthly king (I Sam. 8) to politics today. Please consider checking it out.
I’m Mark Edge; thanks for reading.
