Steward Well Your Citizenship

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Proverbs 29:2 "With good men in authority the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan."

Citizenship in a free country is a gift from God, and not to be taken for granted. It is a stewardship with privileges and responsibilities. Voting is a responsibility of citizens to provide feedback to the God-ordained institution of government. Your vote is their performance review...since they work for us!

Public service is a public trust. Therefore, elect men and woman of principal who, as statesmen, will risk losing their House or Senate seat because they govern by unwavering values founded in the Scriptures. God is in control, but He expects participation from people of the state.

Godly men and women value life, especially in those who are unable to defend themselves. The unborn and the elderly are on the top of their list of whom to protect. They value marriage, one man and one woman engaged in holy matrimony. They reject a redefinition of marriage from those driven by money and immorality. They value national security because freedom is not free. It requires sophisticated vigilance from terrorism and nuclear threat. Most importantly, they value God and His Word.  

We are citizens of a greater kingdom who have a temporary assignment to engage in our earthly kingdom. Therefore, steward well your citizenship while you can.
