OUR CENTRAL MISSION

Cole Feix, Oklahoma City pastor and writer recently wrote,
“Christians have a calling from God that is independent of politics, style of government, and who’s sitting in the Oval Office. In the good and necessary arguments over who we should vote for, we may have lost sight of our central mission. We can change the world without the government. It’s not ok to depend on the President of the United States, or the state and local governments, to bring about the changes we want to see in our world. We should be giving, serving, planning, praying, and building toward a more just and God-glorifying society no matter what the government is doing. If the President is inclined to help, all the better. That should be a secondary consideration, but I’m worried it has become a primary consideration. The most lasting difference in our communities will come from Christians who believe that it is up to them to share the gospel, to disciple young believers, to raise their children to know and love the Lord, to stand up for the oppressed, and to do what’s right. For everything else we’re for, if we’re not for those things, we won’t be for anything that lasts.”
