Two Kingdoms (78)
  1. We subject ourselves to the governing authorities for the sake of our neighbor, that they might be protected from our sinful nature that seeks our advantage over theirs (and vice versa)
  2. Cast your vote with an air of bold and defiant levity. Don’t take yourself, or this election, so seriously. No string of unfortunate events can stop Christ's beating heart of mercy. No politician can un-Easter our Lord.
  3. Elections and presidents and politics and voting. Repent and believe the good news! Everything will be ok.
  4. We vote because we are citizens, and it is our duty. We serve our neighbors in love because it is our Christian calling.
  5. No good will come to the cause of the Gospel by followers of Jesus being regarded as crazy dissidents who will not cooperate with the most basic social mechanisms.
  6. How big can you build your cross? Or maybe that's not what Jesus wants from his followers. I guess you should listen to find out...
  7. Kids - you'll never know the freedom of "come home with the streetlights on". But don't worry, be nostalgic for the Gospel of Jesus!
  8. The following is an excerpt from Adam Fransisco’s chapter in “Who Am I?” edited by Scott Ashmon (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  9. We're not called to be obedient consumers. We're free in Christ to love and serve our neighbor according to his need
  10. Justice and love are united in God, and we see this most clearly in Jesus on the cross. There, both God's hatred toward sin and compassion for the world come together.
  11. War is a plague, but sometimes it needs to be fought to protect from greater plagues.
  12. Christians are free to engage in political matters, even as Christians, but the church as an institution has a responsibility not to lobby for specific political ends, however worthy and just they might be.
