A lot is going on in the world today concerning national and global politics that can be connected to Biblical prophecies. However, Christians sometimes misappropriate or misalign prophecies to align with their own agendas. On this episode of The Disruptors we discussed responsible ways to filter world events through the lens of God's Word in light of President Trump's decision to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and commit to moving the United States embassy there. How Christians respond to this and other local/national/global news may not always be so simple. Watch here or listen to the audio of The Disruptors Podcast in my mobile app.

Loving your enemies doesn’t mean you agree with them, especially, if they're on the other side of your political views. Yet this message is so counter to today’s culture. This leads us to the concept of "disruptive politics", which I define as political policies that serve to sharply divide people along political lines and has a major (negative) impact on different groups of people. So how should Christians respond to “disruptive politics”, especially when someone else's view doesn't agree with yours? Watch here or listen to the audios of The Disruptors Podcast in my mobile app.

Congressman John Lewis is an incredible inspiration because of his dedicated life of service dating all the way back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. According to Lewis, "Dr. King and Rosa Parks inspired me to get in trouble. Good trouble. And maybe, just maybe, this museum [National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Washington, DC] will inspire a new generation of young people to get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble. To make our country and make our world a better place.”
When I thought about "good trouble", I thought about Daniel in the Bible, and the good trouble he got into as a government official with the king he was serving at that time.

The 4th of July is a time when Americans celebrate our independence from an oppressive government more than 200 years ago. What's really interesting about the time we live in now is that millions of Americans are still fighting for their independence. However, in this case it's not from an oppressive government. They are actually fighting for their independence from the loving God. Watch the video to learn more…

 "Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies." Romans 8:33 It's Election Day and everybody is talking about the candidates and who they are going to cast their votes for. Here in Georgia we have a small snapshot of Georgia's political legacy, considering those with politically famous names running for office including, Jason Carter (grandson of President Jimmy Carter), Michelle Nunn (daughter of former Senator Sam Nunn), and David Perdue (first cousin of former Governor Sonny Perdue). Those who are not privy to walk in those political circles might tend to feel left out or helpless as it relates to wielding influence or receiving political favor. Fortunately, God doesn't look at last names to determine whether or not you're worthy to receive favors from Him. He is not a respecter of persons, His love is everlasting, and His mercy endures forever! In fact, God voted for you when He chose His son to die on your behalf. And according to Revelation 5:9, you were elected you to the position of king and priest. So, whether you know it or not, as part of God's family you have a lot of royal responsibilities here on the planet (2 Corinthians 5:18-20). "Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble." ~ 2 Peter 1:10 Just like politicians are supposed to serve their constituents, your election is connected to an assignment (life purpose) to solve a problem for a specific group of people. God called you to be great and do something that serves others in a significant manner. Your work matters to God and those whom you have been assigned to work with. Peter admonished all Believers to acknowledge and accept our callings so that we would not fall short of the greatness God planned for us. When you embrace what God created you to do you put yourself in position for Him to give you influence to use for His glory. And the kickbacks you get from Him as a result of your obedience can't be compared to anything you could get from anyone else. So no matter who you vote for today, just remember God already voted for you! Please leave your comments below...  |
