Not So Bad!
"Those who have turned the world
upside down have come here too."
Acts 17: 6
Paul TenHaken is the mayor of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
He’s also a vibrant believer. When he was a businessman,
he felt a persistent inner prompting to run for office. He ran
for mayor and won.
Recently TenHaken said, “Everybody, Christian or not, wants a leader
with a core set of beliefs, a leader of character. I believe I’ve gotten to
the point where people realize, ‘Paul’s an outspoken Christian, but that
doesn’t mean he’s going to bring hate to our city.
He is a compassionate leader.’ The only way they get past that
is by seeing your actions. Now people are seeing, ‘Okay, maybe
this guy isn’t so bad after all. He’s a Christian giving out free bus
rides to the poor in our city.’”
God wants to use you to turn the world upside down in a
good way. He wants you to run and win. Build on what He
is doing in your life. Walk according to His Word. Wait on
Him, then watch Him work through you.
And soon people will say,
“Okay, this person is not so bad after all!”
"I’m a man of faith….That’s where my
heart is. I like that people know that
about me."
Mayor Paul TenHaken
