Pledge of Allegiance
Now that school has started, the students will be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. We have all recited the Pledge of Allegiance many times as a declaration of our intent to live as loyal and responsible citizens of the U.S.
As Christian, however, we have a dual citizenship. We are citizens of the U.S. as well as citizens of heaven. That means we have a duty to be loyal and responsible citizens of heaven. What does that look like? Living as citizens of heaven looks like living every area of our lives according to God’s agenda for us as revealed in His Word.
That is a daily battle for us because the world has a competing agenda that it wants us to live according to. Only God’s agenda can help us to experience true meaning in life by living the way God designed us to live.
As we go through the Kingdom Agenda study, we will learn how to find greater purpose for our lives, how to guide our families toward God, how to participate in God’s plan for CBF, and how we should think about politics and our culture. We will be challenged to live according to God’s agenda in every area of our lives, so that we can enjoy God’s blessings.
