Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers and exiles [in this world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul. Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, [yet] they may by witnessing your good deeds [come to] glorify God in the day of inspection [when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock].

3 Days
A 3-day devotional by Danielle Apicella, sharing the journey of growing in thankfulness and loving the life God has given you. This is for those who need to re-gain perspective and find true joy again.
One of the most pressing issues for Christians in this cultural moment is how we should interact with politics. Should we remain silent or should we be outspoken? Should we run for office or retreat into exclusively Christian communities? This three-day devotional aims to provide some biblical guardrails to consider when seeking to live out the way of Jesus in the political arena.
In our politically charged environment, especially as we approach election season, many Christians find themselves wrestling with how to engage in the political sphere while staying true to their faith. This challenge is not new - believers throughout history have grappled with similar questions. However, by examining Scripture and reflecting on our role in God's redemptive plan, we can find guidance for our present moment.
Do you understand how special you are to God? God has chosen you and called you by name! He knew you and He knew your purpose way before you were even born. There is something special about knowing that you're chosen by God.
