Don't beat them. Join them!

I was in an Environmental Economics class where the professor was talking about climate change and instituting a international regulatory entity to solve this problem. Whether or not climate change is a real risk is not the issue. The people running the world believe in it, and they are using it to promote a one-world government.

Kingdom-minded people should not be wallowing in despair and fear. Does a globalized government mean losing freedom? Well...yeah...as long as we just sit around and complain about it. I propose that being a citizen of another world, we have nothing to fear. Beyond that, we should stop groaning and take responsibility for where the world is headed. If we cannot stop it, join it. In other words, we can allow the Holy Spirit to give us favor and place us in positions of influence within the system. If there will someday be a one-world government, I want righteous, Spirit-filled folks running the show. That's us. That's our job. We need to pursue excellence in business, law, government, economics, education, etc. These arenas need the Kingdom. Let's stop holding protest signs and panicking and partner with the nations. God has given them to us to steward. We have their Desire, Jesus. Let's answer the questions they're asking so they can eventually ask questions that will lead them to Jesus.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
- Proverbs 29:2
