Good stuff, Jim.

Tonight I was in Isaiah 24 – two contrasting cities, the city of chaos (v. 10) and the city of God (v. 24). The destiny of the city of chaos should cure all Bible believers of rolling our trust on the backs of human governors. Our trust should be in the Lord and him alone.

The LORD is my Shepherd. Tonight I will preach on Psalm 24. The earth belongs to the LORD. People pretend it belongs to them. The result of the presidential election didn’t surprise the LORD. It certainly reminds us to pray for all leaders through the world with the result being that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence (1 Timothy 2.2). The best thing both Canadians and Americans can do is realize that our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ …the King of Glory (Philippians 3.20; Psalm 24).
