Loving Neighbors Not Thrones

In a time when politics often divides communities and power struggles dominate headlines, Love Your Neighbor, Not Thrones offers a refreshing, gospel-centered perspective on civic engagement. This new resource from Pastor P. Brian Noble calls believers to reimagine their role in the public square—not as power-seekers—but as ambassadors of Christ’s love, justice, and truth.

Rooted in biblical conviction and moral clarity, this publication answers foundational questions for Christians who want to influence culture faithfully:

• How does civic engagement express love for my neighbor?

• Why must laws reflect moral truths rather than moral neutrality?

• What does it mean to legislate morality without mandating faith?

Pastor Noble guides readers through Scripture—connecting passages like Philippians 2, Jeremiah 29:7, and Romans 2:14-16—to show that loving our neighbors includes shaping laws that protect families, uphold righteousness, and promote freedom of faith. The study explores the universality of the Golden Rule, moral foundations of law, and the biblical call to serve humbly rather than seek thrones of power.

This resource is designed for Bible study groups, civic engagement teams, and pastoral leaders who want to disciple believers into active, compassionate citizenship. Each section includes discussion questions for reflection and group dialogue—helping Christians live out their faith through informed, servant-hearted public action.

Why It Matters:
At its heart, Love Your Neighbor, Not Thrones exposes the false divide between faith and public life. It reminds the Church that silence in governance is not humility but negligence—and that fulfilling civic duty is one of the purest forms of neighborly love.

By equipping believers with theological depth and practical application, this resource strengthens the movement to advance and defend biblical values in Washington and beyond.
