Two weeks before a momentous election in the United States, I'm going political -- and Biblical.

Citizenship, for the Christian, is a responsibility to steward. We may feel like burying this "talent" in the ground because it's too hard to engage in the rough & tumble of political commerce. But it's not an option if we are to walk in faithfulness. As Christians, we are called to seek knowledge and wisdom actively in all areas of life. Understanding the tension between God's sovereignty and human free will is crucial for informed decision-making.

Although it wasn't planned this way, the wrap-up of the series on the Beatitudes is the perfect way to discuss this responsibility. Like all truths, balancing tensions is necessary.

We must live, not merely hear or mouth, the Beatitudes during this divisive season. We must remember the poverty of all people, mourn for the world's brokenness, and extend mercy, rather than simply seeking political victory.

We must ask ourselves hard questions such as: How much time is spent in God's compared to the news? Are we more involved in prayer or polls? Do we hunger more for righteousness or political victory?

F.W. Boreham's essay from My Christmas Book, is especially worth remembering! What matters more? Battles or babies? Politics or people?
