Citizens of an Eternal Kingdom

Just as a note, this rather dated. I wrote it back in November after the election but I feel that in the wake of economic decline, which was met with a policy that I believe is disasterous, this entry is still relevant.


As another election has come and gone it is cheerful to remember that as Christians we citizens, not in the kingdom of this world, but of the next. Ours is an imperishable glory that no election or revolution can steal away. It is woeful for me to think of those who are citizens only of this world and put their hopes in the hands of imperfect men. But as Christians our hope is in God, who is eternal perfection and will never disappoint us. The hope of the secularist is set upon the rough seas of this world and is tossed about by the its waves and winds. If men, whom they have so heavily invested in, fall so does his hope. But Christ is sure and his victory is ever-lasting and cannot be stolen away by the votes of fools. God will never disappoint us. Now, this does not mean that Christians should forsake this world and withdraw from it. Rather we should always work for good in this world so that the glory of God may be made known to those who reject Him. The Kingdom of Heaven is not something of the future but exists in the present and we should work to be make it known for the glory of its king. Let the world known that in this kingdom is love, mercy, charity, fellowship, hope, faith, kindness and knowledge. Let every Christian vote his conscience so that the world may know where he stands. Always work for the better of this world as even Christ prayed for those who crucified for him. The mercy and love of God knows no bounds and neither should those of His kingdom.
