The service of the Word and Prayer for the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost (October 18, 2020). Did you know that as a Christian, you have dual citizenship? God uses government (Caesar) to exercise His authority over sinful creation that we are born into, yet by grace given through His Word and in baptism, we are born into the kingdom of God. It’s a challenge to be faithful when there is much to dislike about government in general or a specific leader, but God says to honor them as His agents of authority even as we honor Christ Jesus by obeying God’s commands.

As US citizens, we have a duty to vote and thus honor God. But how do you select a candidate to vote for? Here is a helpful guide put out by the MN South District to help you consider the issues that Christians should be on the lookout for in candidates for office at all levels of government: http://www.mnsdistrict.org/engaged-in-mission/2020/9/30/2020-lutheran-voter-information-guide
