It is during times like this, however, that we as the Church can shine brightly. In the face of debates, advertisements, and news that may stir anxiety, we have a divine opportunity to anchor people to the unchanging hope of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apostle Paul instructs us that \u201cour citizenship is in heaven\u201d (Phil. 3:20 NIV), and as followers of Christ, our ultimate allegiance is to God and His kingdom. While politics does have its importance and influence, it is reassuring to know our hope is not based upon human leaders or systems but in the Lord who reigns over all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft\"><blockquote><p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">In the face of debates, advertisements, and news that may stir anxiety, we have a divine opportunity to anchor people to the unchanging hope of Christ.<\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no question that, as followers of Christ, we should engage in our civic duties with a kingdom-minded perspective and a biblical worldview. We vote, we pray for our leaders, we seek the welfare of our communities (Jer. 29:7), and we engage others with love. And as we do all of this, we hold to the truth that God\u2019s sovereignty transcends the outcomes of elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In times that seem unstable or fragile, God\u2019s Word tells us \u201cwe are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken\u201d (Heb.12:28). We serve an \u201cunshakable kingdom.\u201d Governments change, leaders come and go, and through it all, God\u2019s kingdom remains. It is unshakable, eternal, and built upon His righteousness and justice. No election can alter the reality of God\u2019s sovereignty nor shake the foundation of His authority. It is His church that holds the keys to unlock heaven on earth and bring light to the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the reality we stand upon: It is God who \u201ccontrols the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings\u201d (Dan. 2:21 NLT), and \u201cthe king\u2019s heart is in the hand of the Lord\u201d (Prov. 21:1 KJV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of this truth, we can embrace Paul&#8217;s word to the Philippians: \u201cDon\u2019t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God\u2019s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus\u201d (Phil. 4:6-7 NLT). Based on this passage, if we are a people of prayer who walk in faith, seek God\u2019s wisdom, and are grateful, THEN we know we will experience a peace that goes beyond natural understanding. I am reminded, comforted, and convinced of this truth, and it is an anchor to my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright\"><blockquote><p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">No election can alter the reality of God\u2019s sovereignty nor shake the foundation of His authority.<\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This November\u2019s election will be followed in December by the celebration of Christ\u2019s birth. What a perfect time to remember that Jesus is Emmanuel \u2013 God with us. This name, given to Jesus, is more than just a title; it is a promise that no matter what happens around us, God\u2019s presence is constant and unchanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether the outcome of the election brings joy or disappointment, whether policies align with your hopes or create concerns, remember Emmanuel &#8211; God is with us. He is present in our churches, in our communities, in our families, and in our lives. He is not distant or disconnected; He is personally and actively involved in the lives of His people. Whoever is elected and however people respond \u2013 God still sits on the throne, His Kingdom is unshakable, and His plans are unstoppable. GOD IS WITH US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Some practical steps for consideration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pray for our leaders, regardless of who they are: Pray for their wisdom, discernment, and a spirit of humility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay united as the body of Christ: Let a heart of unity, love, and the bond of peace be what others see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep an eternal perspective: Engage in the political process, but keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live out the things that will remain: faith, hope and love.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8aa3364d wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:2.5rem;padding-right:2.5rem;padding-bottom:2.5rem;padding-left:2.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"949\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-949x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-949x1024.jpg 949w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-768x829.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-1423x1536.jpg 1423w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-1200x1295.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-1440x1554.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692-600x648.jpg 600w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MNortune-1-e1709133869692.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Michael Nortune<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Michael Nortune<\/strong> serves as president of Open Bible Churches.
