In today's message, I emphasized the importance of maintaining our allegiance to the Kingdom of God above all else, especially in the realm of politics. We live in a world where political affiliations often divide us, even within the Church. However, as followers of Christ, our primary identity should be rooted in God's Kingdom, not in the political systems of this world. God calls us to be involved in politics, but He also calls us to remain untainted by it. Our values, votes, and positions should not be for sale to the highest bidder or the most persuasive political argument. Instead, we must stand firm in our faith and convictions, ensuring that our actions and decisions reflect our commitment to God's principles.
The Church of Jesus Christ should be a beacon of unity and truth in a divided world. When we allow political ideologies to create rifts within the Church, we lose our ability to effectively stand against the cultural challenges we face. Our mission is to represent God's Kingdom on earth, and that requires us to transcend the temporary and often divisive nature of human politics. By doing so, we can offer a powerful testimony to the world of what it means to live under God's rule and reign.
