Where do your ultimate loyalties lie? Are they in politics or in Christ?
In a passionate call to reflection, Pastor Jack Hibbs is challenging believers across America to examine where their faith truly lies—and whether loyalty to political figures is replacing loyalty to Christ.

“So how much do you believe the Bible? A lot? Do you believe the Bible all the way?” he asks. “Do you believe that the Bible contains the Word of God, or do you believe that the Bible is the Word of God?”
For those who believe the Bible is indeed the Word of God, Hibbs reminds us of a sobering truth: “God sets up kings and God takes kings down. That’s a sovereign act of God.”
Referencing current political tensions, Hibbs addresses recent developments: “We are watching the United States of America currently right now under the leadership of President Donald Trump manifest very unusual practices.” He points to the distancing between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a shifting U.S. stance toward Israel. “There is a profound business opportunity for the United States to make with other Muslim Middle Eastern countries at the expense of Israel’s security.”
“What is happening?” he asks. “Are we watching possibly the collapse of the Trump mega dynasty? Are we watching the collapse of the Trump doctrine?” The concern is not simply political—it’s spiritual. “Any leader, any nation that turns its back on Israel turns its back on the God of Israel.”
Hibbs offers a stark warning: “Is this actually a symptom to having circled around Jesus Christ but have never really come to Jesus Christ? Is this an outcome of knowing about the Bible but not knowing truly the Bible?”
In an era of deep polarization, he brings his message home: “Will people pick sides? Yes, they will always. But is your loyalty to a particular party or person, or is it to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word?”
These are “the days of division,” he says, and every believer will soon face a choice: “God over man, faith over mammon.”

“My challenge to you is this: Where are your loyalties? I pray that they’re in the Word of God and with the Lord Jesus Christ.” Because in the end, “God is not a man that He should lie… God governs in the affairs of men.”
As shifting alliances and political unrest shake the foundations of leadership, the true test of faith is not where we stand politically, but where we kneel spiritually. Now more than ever, the people of God must rise with unwavering conviction, placing their loyalty not in personalities or platforms, but in the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Only those anchored in Christ will endure the storm and shine as beacons of truth in a world growing ever darker.
