Because cities are going to be judged as single entities in the final judgment (see Matthew 10:11-15) and because the living God has sovereignly placed each of us in a particular city   (Acts 17:26), and because He has commissioned us to “seek the welfare of the city we live in” (Jeremiah 29:7), it behooves we disciples of Jesus to fight for the eternal destiny of our cities.

We believers have a great tendency to involve ourselves in too many things, which over time whittles away at our pursuit of Christ and Him alone.
