election 2010

While we may not know exactly what's going to happen as a result of this election for a while, we do know that our ultimate hope and the ultimate answer is in not a political party, but in Jesus.

Remembering that, regardless of which party is in government or who is Prime Minister, we need to

• Pray for them  (1 Tim. 2:1-2).
• Thank God for them  (1 Tim. 2:1-2).
• Respect them (Rom. 13:7).
• Honour them (Rom. 13:7; 1 Pet. 2:17).
