Prominent People 2

How do Christ followers view our political leaders? Do we look to them to favor and protect our Christian values? If they do, give thanks. But we cannot expect them to do so. We’re aliens here, not true citizens on this earth We’re ambassadors representing Heaven. Earthly leaders can be kind, corrupt, fair, double minded, and worse.
Our freedom of speech is from God, not worldly authorities. God’s apostles spoke and were stoned, not protected. Lobbying for freedom of religion and its expression is not wrong. Our main priority is to love God first, promote his gospel whether protected or ridiculed.
In this season in our country, redeem the time, speak and live as if it’s a short-term privilege. And be ready to speak for Him even if we suffer. After all, Jesus did.
