The subject of politics can bring up all kinds of emotions ranging from pure apathy to passionate discussions. And it can be difficult to know how our Christian values fit into the left-and-right party structure we find ourselves in. Tony Evans addresses how to vote in our constitutional system while maintaining our loyalty to God’s kingdom.

#1 The Concept of Kingdom Voting - When anything in our life is in disarray, we are to turn to God’s Word for guidance. When political forces are vying for our vote, we must consult the same book for guidance. We are not meant to be left voters or right voters. We are to be kingdom voters.

#2 God and Government - God establishes authorities on earth, and that includes the government. In this message, learn what the Bible says about how a government should operate, and what the role of the citizen is in relationship to it.

#3 God and Freedom - The Bible begins with the establishment of freedom. But freedom doesn’t mean life is a free-for-all. God puts boundaries in place in order to maximize the joy that freedom provides.

#4 God and Life - God is the creator and giver of life. From before we were born until beyond the end of time, God is supremely interested in our lives. When we diminish, minimize or destroy the life of another person, we mar the pinnacle of God’s creation—that which was created in His image.

#5 God and Family - God is the designer of the family, but our culture has been eroding the foundations of the family for decades. When the family crumbles, society is soon to follow, and we’re seeing the indications of that today. Discover how God has designed the government and the family to fit together to fulfill His purposes for a better society.

#6 God and Church and State (Matthew 22:15-22) - While the separation of church and state is legitimate, there is never to be a separation of God and government. All governmental authorities must answer to God. But the church cannot tie itself politically to one group or another. The church must be loyal only to the King. Find out more in this powerful message from Tony Evans.

#7 God and Civil Leaders (Daniel 4:28:37) - God places leaders and removes them. He determines who will lead for His purposes. This message explores the characteristics that God looks for in a leader, and how our decisions play into God’s purposes within the government.

#8 God and Justice and Righteousness (Psalm 89:11-14) - Justice and righteousness go hand in hand and serve as twin guidelines that define how a government should operate. When the two are out of balance, chaos can take hold. Following these guidelines, we can uphold the high standard of God and demonstrate compassion at the same time.

#9 God and Conscience (Romans 14:1-12) - In the United States, we have two major parties, and good, solid Christians are found on both sides of the aisle. This message addresses the issue of conscience and the role it plays in all of our decisions, including our decisions at the ballot box. It is also a call for unity and understanding as we seek to understand those who vote or behave differently than we do.

#10 God and Citizenship (Philippians 3:30) - Christians today are part of the visiting team in the culture. There are many loud voices that would call in many directions. But we are to hold fast to the standard that God has provided for us in His Word. This does not mean we should be fixed to one political party’s agenda or the other. Our call is to represent God’s kingdom agenda in the world.
