Human governments are temporary. The risen Jesus is the now and eternal Lord. They’ll be no national flags in Heaven.

Government establishes and maintains social order. Jesus changes hearts. Government protects people from physical chaos. Jesus protects people from the inner chaos of hopelessness and despair. Government works by making and enforcing laws. Jesus works by healing hurting hearts.

Because Jesus works in human hearts most of what He does is unknown until we open our heart to each other. If you don’t tell what Jesus is doing in your heart, you’re hiding some of His most powerful miracles from other people. Openly and humbly talk about what Jesus is doing inside of you much more than you talk about government. Then you will give people real hope for lasting change that heals both individuals and nations and goes infinitely beyond social order and patriotic pride.

Cancel corruption. Open your heart to radical honesty and sincere humility.

What a miracle when God opened up the Red Sea! What a miracle when you let God open up your hardened heart! Jesus builds His kingdom by opening hearts and connecting them to Him and to each other. It may not feel safe to open your heart to Jesus and to people, but it’s powerful! Take the risk!

The most important story people can tell, the most beautiful song they can sing, is to share what Jesus is doing inside them. The more we tell people what Jesus is doing within us the more they can see His glory instead of us. My favorite thing to share with people and to post on social media is what Jesus is saying and doing in my heart!

People often don’t want to hear what I hear Jesus telling me. Sometimes I don’t even want to hear it. It’s easy to be more concerned about preserving cash flow than about telling the truth.
