Ephesians 2:11-22 · Deuteronomy 7:9
Issues
Racial Harmony
God desires racial harmony through Christ alone, who destroyed the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles. Christians must teach children to love all people as God's image-bearers and celebrate the differences that reflect God's creative wisdom.
John 17:13-19 · 1 Peter 2:11
Issues
The Christian and Culture
Christians must recognize this world is not their home and that earthly culture belongs to the world, not to believers. Our calling is to serve others and influence individuals toward Christ while awaiting our true citizenship in heaven.
Romans 13:1-7 · Daniel 2:21
Issues
The Christian and Government
Government originates from God and Christians should submit to it regardless of its form, while maintaining heavenly citizenship as their ultimate allegiance and keeping focus on Christ's lordship.
Colossians 3:22-4:1 · Genesis 2:15
Issues
The Christian and Work
Work is God's gift from creation, made difficult by sin, and reflects our service to Christ. Christians should approach their work with a grateful heart, recognizing it as an opportunity to share with others rather than to fulfill entitlement.
