Paul urged Christians to pray for governing authorities while living under Nero, the emperor who would eventually have him executed.
Imagine if the Church took these words seriously:
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” -1Timothy 2:1–4

Grief is meant to be poured out—not held in.
Lam. 2:19 says, “Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord.”
Sometimes we need a companion in our grief and pain.
I’d be honored to walk with you.

In this excerpt, Jeremy Treat shows how the “sacred-secular divide” reduces Jesus to a life coach rather than the King of the Universe that he is. buff.ly/idAd2ft

God is with you, “for you are with me.” Right now. In your particular place, in your emotional state. In your longing and in your loss—he is beside you, within you, and has pledged to guide you, all the way home.

I propose we move from:
“You’re not a true Christian if you vote for ________.”
To:
“You’re not a true Christian if you don’t follow the Sermon on the Mount.”
It’s time we measured Christian faithfulness not by political allegiance but by allegiance to Jesus & his teachings.
Suffering well doesn’t require producing something for Jesus, only enduring something with Jesus.

It is such an honor to be a part of this commentary series.
I don’t fashion myself as a person very skilled at this kind of writing, but I do love the book of Jonah!
I hope there are some helpful insights in here for preachers, small group leaders, readers.
Preordering is up!
