10. Politics and Jesus: Citizens of Heaven

Tomorrow is Election Day! Half of the country will either be celebrating answered prayers and the other half is mourning from unanswered prayers.  

Today, Kyle Raney will give us all some encouragement today through this faith-filled episode. 

First and foremost Kyle reminds us that we are citizens of Heaven; our allegiance is in Jesus.  Our demeanor and our politics have to be informed through Christ by prayer and knowing our citizenship.  Kyle brings so many golden nuggets of truth in this episode including: 

• Engaging in our citizenship in America has to be informed by our citizenship from Heaven.  

• We have more in common with someone in the opposite party who is a fellow Citizen of Heaven than a person within your own party.  

• As Believers, we have the GOOD NEWS to share- not bitterness or separation. 

• When we idolize someone or a political party or organization more than Jesus, then we will ultimately demonize those on the other side. 

• When we idolize, we will ultimately be disappointed.  

• Separation from culture is not the answer, nor is becoming like the culture. 

• Us vs. Them Mentally is against the Word of God (Jeremiah 29:4-7) 

• DISTINCT yourself in the culture

• Instead of opposition, GRAND OPPORTUNITY

Though the next 48 hours may be interesting, be reminded of this amazing gift we have to live in this country and share the Gospel. We appreciate you listening and would love for you to subscribe and share the podcast with others.
