“I would suggest there is no reason for any Christian to be despondent about the events of this past week. Why? Because God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control. Because we don’t put our trust in princes (or senators or representatives or presidents), in whom there is no salvation. Because our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, not on this fallen earth. And because, as I hope to demonstrate, Christians always have reason to look to the future with hope.”
