Faithful Presence

The church awaits the return of Jesus to establish his kingdom upon the earth in a final, climactic way. But it is not idle in its waiting. Rather, it remains busy, putting to work what has been entrusted to it, in order to see hearts transformed and the kingdom established.

Blessing That Leads to Blessing

God is not just concerned with what Christians will do at the ballot box, but who Christians will be. Not one human heart has ever been transformed by the outcome of an election. Heart transformation only comes about by the grace of God at work through the Spirit filled and sanctified church. We will never win hearts for the Kingdom of God by how we vote. We can only win hearts by how we live.

Embodying Kingdom Values

The church is the physical embodiment of Jesus Christ in the world by the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. Peter refers to its individual members as “temporary residents and foreigners” who are in the world, but not of the world. As such, they are called to not only live by, but embody, the values of the greater Kingdom of God as secondary citizens of the kingdoms of the world.
