  1. Election Day

    Election Day — a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "heading into election day, pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!” By all means, lead your family in praying"

    The election is less than two weeks away (November 5). Earlier this year, we took six weeks to study what the Bible teaches about politics in our King Jesus series. We specifically covered several important lessons during that time. Here are a few significant reminders as we approach election day. 

    It says in Jeremiah 29:7, “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” More Christians voting biblically is a significant way we can bring good to our city, state, and country.

    The Walls of Self-Control – a word from Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "the metaphor reminds us that a city without walls has no defense. It is vulnerable and open to attack. That is us without self-control."

    “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.” — Proverbs 25:28

    This verse likens us to a city. It’s certainly a powerful metaphor; we don’t often see it used in the Bible. I think a few themes from this verse are worth spending some time on. They’ll help us understand what can happen when we don’t exercise self-control.
