What Qualities Should We Look for in a Presidential Candidate?

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of the New Hope Church podcast, we continue our series titled "Between Kingdoms: Six Questions for November," where we explore how to think biblically about the upcoming election. Our speaker, Pastor Zach Killey, poses the question, "What does God look for in a presidential candidate?"

    Zach begins by referencing Deuteronomy 17:14-20, where God outlines His expectations for Israel's king. He emphasizes that while this passage is specific to Israel, we can glean insights about God's heart for leadership. Key points include the importance of the leader being one of the people, the need for humility, and the necessity of being grounded in God's law.

    Zach then transitions to discuss the expectations for Gentile rulers, citing Psalm 2, which calls for wisdom and reverence for God. He highlights that true leadership should reflect a love and fear of God, particularly through Jesus Christ, whom God has appointed as King.

    The conversation shifts to the current state of our nation and the challenges we face in choosing leaders who embody these biblical principles. Zach warns against idolatry, sexual immorality, and other sins that can lead to God's judgment on a nation. He stresses the importance of personal repentance and the need for Christians to actively share their faith and make disciples, rather than merely practicing a private religion.

    In closing, Zach encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and the state of the nation, urging them to take responsibility for loving their neighbors and sharing the truth of Jesus. He reminds us that real change begins with individuals committed to living out their faith authentically.
