Religion and Politics

Whatever a church’s relationship to its political environment in any given case, it can take two measures to avoid becoming politically acculturated. The first measure is to ensure that theology determines politics, and not politics theology…. The second measure is to retain a strong sense of mission.

Worship & Politics: Salt and Light

Believers are commanded to be the salt and the light to this world.  The political arena in America has never been so tasteless and dark as we see it today.  It is time to gather the shakers and beacons from the church pantry and do what we are told [in God’s Word].
