Our society needs a paradigm shift.
Instead of defining ourselves by the choice we make in a voting booth, what if we voted every day for a candidate who brings together people from all walks of life and political persuasions?
That candidate is Jesus Christ!
The best way to change the world is to join his campaign to build a kingdom of mercy and justice for all people.
He represents me.
He is building a kingdom of mercy and justice in which I can  
live in peace with all humankind.

He brings people together. 
He has welcomed me into a community of grace that     
transcends every other human organization.
He tells the truth.
He is honest and direct in every circumstance,   
which gives me courage and hope.

He gives me a vision.
He helps me see my unique role in furthering the growth of God's kingdom.
