3 Guiding Principles for 2020
We have designed a toolkit to help churches equip Christians to see government through a Biblical rather than a political lens. This kit includes bulletin inserts, videos, a 30-Day Prayer Guide, podcast episodes and other tools! Click the link below to access the kit.
#1 We Are Christians
As followers of Jesus, our first and ultimate allegiance must be to Christ and his kingdom rather than a political party or candidate (Matt. 5:33; 22:21). Further, the church’s Biblical role is to make disciples of all nations and to do good works that point to Jesus (Matt. 28:16-20, 5:16).
#2 We Are Caesar
In Rome, Caesar wielded ultimate authority. In the United States, we the people are vested with ultimate authority and, therefore, responsibility for our country. Therefore, we should engage in the public life of our nation with a focus on the gospel (Matt. 22:21).
#3 We Are Citizens
As citizens, we should seek the peace and prosperity of our cities, states and nation rather than our own self-interest (Jer. 29). And, we should promote Biblical principles in public life because those principles will lead to true flourishing (Prov. 29:2).
