“We Christians are citizens of the eternal kingdom of God. We’ve been called to be citizens of that kingdom and so our dominant allegiance is to it…Our power isn’t found in identifying with a particular political power or the gaining of political power…Be careful what you put your hope in! Don’t let the darkness of the present moment cause you to compromise [the gospel] message. It never works to attach your hope to something horizontal. Lasting hope is only ever found vertically…Carry gospel hope, and believe in the presence and the power of the Lord Almighty.” – Paul David Tripp
