What do Christians Owe a President?

If you count my incoherent thoughts as a toddler, I’ve lived through the administrations of seven presidents and am now approaching life under the administration of a new one. On January 20th, former Vice-President Joe Biden put his hand on the Bible and took the oath of office to become America’s 46th President.

Times like these are good opportunities to refresh ourselves on a Christian’s responsibility to the government.Read more:(photo source: Wikipedia commons)

Resisting the Pharisee Temptation on Social Media

From COVID to racial unrest to a divisive political election, there was no shortage of ways in 2020 to trust in ourselves and look down on everyone else. Brands are quick to remind us they’re on the side of science, against racism, and want us to vote. And our social platforms are like modern-day temples where, like the Pharisee, we can clarify multiple times a day that we are not like those grifting public servants. Even at home, we are not immune to displaying our creeds on lawn signs.


For Christians, there is value in letting the world know where we stand, declaring the truth, and being ready to “give a defense to anyone” (1 Pet. 3:15). We shouldn’t hesitate to use our voices to stand up for the vulnerable and against injustice. And yet our words can so easily morph from prophetic witness to Pharisaical tribal signaling. In an era where it has become a cultural rite to declare that we’re on the right side of history on every issue, Christians are not immune to this. We are tempted to broadcast our own righteousness by letting everyone know—on social media, in articles and blogs, even in published books—that we are not like those other kinds of Christians.

BONUS EPISODE: Jesus the Greatest Character of All

This special episode is a sneak peak of a podcast series I recorded in conjunction with LifeAudio to accompany my book “The Characters of Christmas.” I hope it will serve as a helpful resource for you and your family this Christmas season.


This is a podcast all about the unlikely people caught up in the story of Jesus. But before we get to them, we have to talk about the main character of Christmas: Christ himself.



You can find the whole series at LifeAudio, Apple, Spotify, Google, or your favorite podcasting app. Just search “The Characters of Christmas.”


You can also find my book, “The Characters of Christmas,” here: https://www.danieldarling.com/books/characters-of-christmas/
