When unbelievers look at us, do they see a people who are deeply committed to politics and to fighting the ongoing cultural/political wars engulfing this country and the world…
or
…do they see ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ who are deeply committed to serving Him and to sharing the Good News! of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone? This world is NOT our home, brothers and sisters!
“These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.” – Hebrews 11:13-16
Absolutely true, and a needed warning to believers in America! Thank you brother.

Thanks, sister! Yes, worldly concerns draw us away from the mind of Christ. This has always been a big problem for the Lord’s followers. We always need to have the mindset of spiritual ambassadors in a foreign land.

Thanks, Maria! What a difference it makes to always remember that contention and disharmony shakes the confidence of unbelievers in this world and that’s not a bad thing.
