What It Means to be a Faithful Citizen During an Election
In this bonus episode of No Sanity Required, we share audio from Red Oak Church’s corporate prayer time last Sunday, focused on the upcoming election. Brody emphasizes the importance of Christians actively engaging in their right to vote by choosing leaders who reflect biblical values. While it’s essential to be good citizens and participate in the civic process, we must remember that only Jesus can truly fulfill our deepest needs.
Brody also highlights four key principles from the life of Daniel: recognizing God’s sovereignty, pursuing holiness, living with conviction, and using our influence for good. As we navigate this upcoming election, it’s crucial to keep in mind that our ultimate goal is spiritual revival, not just political reform.
4 Principals that Daniel taught us:
- God is sovereign and He has a plan.
- We must resolve and live with conviction.
- Daniel built His whole life on the pursuit of holiness and faithfulness to the Word of God and prayer. He is consistent and constant.
- Daniel used the opportunities God gave him to influence government, policy, and institutions with the Truth of God’s Word. We should use the same opportunities.
