Duty is a critically important principle for advancing the Kingdom of God, and often involves us doing things that we don't necessarily want to do. God honors those who live up to their calling and fulfill their duty, which often looks like obeying Him, loving our neighbor, and bringing heaven to earth. Duty supersedes desire, and early Americans better understood the importance and blessing of fulfilling one's duty. Today's Christ followers must also have a sense of duty, and understand that God has made us on purpose and for a purpose, and we cannot be deterred by the sacrifice that duty often asks of us. The Lord has a plan to work all things together to accomplish His goodness and purpose, and all he asks from His children is faithfulness to what He has called us to do.

The family of faith should possess the qualities of wisdom and discernment, and should be careful around the worldly evils of power and money. In our everyday lives, we deal with four different spheres of influence, from our small circle to the cosmic sphere. In our interactions with ourselves and our families, Kirk encourages listeners to "savor the small," and focus our attention on beauty of the little things. The next sphere, the medium-sized circle, consists of an individual's workplace, friends, and the happenings of their country. In this circle, we are encouraged to "make much of the medium," and answer God's calling to bring heaven to earth. Thirdly is the large sphere, which entails the worldwide happenings that we have very little to no control of. In this space, we must "let go of the large," and give it up to our sovereign and loving God. Finally, the fourth circle is the cosmic sphere, which is everything that God is doing behind the scenes. When thinking about this circle, we should "celebrate the cosmic," for it is in this circle that we are allowed to let go of our own decisions and trust that there is Someone who is in control, even when the other three spheres of our lives feel on the edge of collapse.

Unfortunately, illness does not coordinate its arrival with our busy calendars. Sickness and death show up when they please, and can certainly cause even the most devout Christ follower to stumble. According to the great preacher Charles Spurgeon, “Men have been helped to live by remembering that they must die…,” but how can we possibly view death as a gift? The funeral is not the finish line for the child of God, and death is just a transition to eternity once we’ve set our faith in the Son who died to save us. Oftentimes, illness offers unexpected blessing and brings clarity to what is truly important in this earthly life. If you have been struck by sickness or death in any form, perhaps God is calling you to draw closer to Him and take account of what is defining your life. When death reaches us, may we be satisfied in the way we served and sacrificed for others in this life. May we be excited to see the face of Jesus and feel content in the ways we used our gifts to bring heaven to earth.

Where does your help come from? From your city, your government, or from God? Followers of Jesus do not need to be concerned with evil in any of its forms, because we serve a God who does not slumber. His faithfulness is a foundation on which we can build our lives and trust that it will never crumble. Every form of evil is only a mysterious form of good, because for the child of God, everything we encounter is overruled for the Father’s good. Our help does not come from the government and its laws or from the strength of the country, but from something that is eternal and dependable. Kirk reminds listeners that “God in his sovereignty transforms every crushing calamity into a mysterious form of good that deepens our faith and moves us closer to him and sweetens our journey to heaven." Altthough evil may affect those who love God, we cannot be overthrown, because we stand on the promise that God will preserve us from this time forth and forevermore.

The ultimate solution to America’s economic, moral, and spiritual problems is found in the Word of God. We see time and time again in Scripture that the choice of sin leads to suffering, but the path of obedience brings blessing. In order to turn America around, we must do what God asks and fulfill the mission He has given us. When the people of God, through the power of God, implement the principles of heaven, then we can have joyful expectation of the restoration of our country and ultimately of our entire world. Motivated by love for God and love for our neighbors, the family of faith has a mission to bring others to the source of joy and hope and life. As we hope for a better country and a better earth, we must pray for one another, take up positions of leadership, and lead well. The people of God, who are comprised of every nation and tongue, have a connection to the one power source who can steer us from evil, so let us take up this calling.

What is the difference between conservative values and biblical values? And which of these sets of values is going to save America? Oftentimes in today’s world, the Christian community believes they are only of another world, and they don’t need to be involved in the evil that takes place on earth. Yet the Bible tells the family of faith that we must flood darkness with light, and be ambassadors of the Kingdom of heaven. Conservative politics alone cannot save the nation because freedom is dangerous for people who do not have a moral foundation. The Constitution was intended for a people with religious principle, and if human beings don’t have he power of the Holy Spirit, they will be influenced instead by their sinful nature. The restoration of our country isn’t just about the right political “recipe,” but about a transformation of the heart that will cause us to love God and love one another better.

Amidst the external storm of politics and hatred and war, you have a great fortress in the power of God, who is the divine controller of all things. We as followers of Christ don't need to tremble at the presence of the devil, because his doom is sure and God's might is great. The Bible warns us that pride comes before the fall, and there are tiny devils running rampant in our world, cursed with an inflated view of themselves. Yet we must remember that the power of the Holy Spirit is greater than he who is in the world, and God has plans to use you as a member of the body of faith to advance the Kingdom. We are God's cheerful soldiers, bringing forth light into the world, and we can use our gifts confidently knowing that we have a refuge from the storm.

The family is one of God's primary vessels for extending His Kingdom to earth. And yet, we see the family becoming less of an instrument of God's and more of an instrument that is advancing the Kingdom of man. If our children are our future, then whoever controls a country's children will inevitably control that country's future. We must not risk government schools turning our childrens' minds and hearts against God. Instead, our job as sons and daugthers of the Lord is to teach that the gospel has the power to transform and restore entire cultures, beginning with the individual. Our children bear the image of God, and their hearts and minds belong not to government, but to the Father. Revival starts locally, within our own homes, and only then can it extend into every aspect of culture until dead things are brought to life.

If education is what frames our world and teaches us how and what to think, then we must keep a close eye on the education of our children. Today, 85 percent of Christian families send their children to government schools, which is comparable to Old Testament Isrealities sending their children to the Philistines to become educated. The family of faith needs to take back responsiblity for our childrens' education, as the things they learn in school affect their view of the government, of the family, and of God. Kirk reminds us that "Your family is God's chief instrument for biblical, heavenly, healthy transfomation; it must center in your home." Christ-centered parents have been tasked with training their children in the way of the Lord, and if this mission is neglected, the divine mission of heaven-izing the earth will fade away.

One of the Founding Fathers of this country, Samuel Adams, once said, "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." This quote perfectly represents the modern-day mission of the family of faith, who must be committed to God and His hope for the earth. In His perfect timing, God uses people to turn the masses back to Him, but we must take up our mission as loving soldiers in God's army of compassion. If we are passive to this calling, just waiting around on earth until our time in heaven comes, we pose no threat in the battle against evil. We must not forget that the final chapter of the gospel story is "restoration," which tasks the family of faith with blessing and heaven-izing the earth. God has placed man on the earth to govern it, beautify it, and take dominion over it, but the saving power of Jesus calls us to spread the light and bring biblical transformation to our world as we know it.
