Politics is a term that stretches far beyond party lines and platforms. It touches every aspect of our shared life—our towns, cities, states, and ultimately, our nation. For Christians, politics is not merely about governance; it’s about shaping a community that reflects God’s principles and purposes.
From the very foundation of America, biblical values were woven into the fabric of our laws and societal norms. Many of our founders drew from Scripture, crafting a framework of governance deeply influenced by Christian teachings. In those days, biblical references were so ingrained in public discourse that they often went unspoken, as the settlers knew God’s Word intimately.
As followers of Christ, the church has a unique calling—not only to guide individuals into a right relationship with God but also to foster harmony among people. A holistic Gospel message emphasizes righteousness in every aspect of life, and that includes our responsibilities as citizens. God’s concern for humanity encompasses all areas of life—political, social, economic, and industrial. It is imperative, especially now, that we recognize the need to bring these aspects of our world under His authority.
This is why Christians cannot afford to be passive observers in matters of governance. The decisions made by leaders today ripple into the future, shaping the moral and spiritual trajectory of our nation.
History shows that our nation’s strength was rooted in a time when moral standards aligned with God’s laws. When we upheld those values, we thrived; when we began to compromise, we saw decline. The true strength of a nation lies in the faith and integrity of its people—faith that takes root in homes, families, and communities.
If we desire to see our country flourish once more, we must recommit to the faith of our fathers. It is a call to return to biblical principles, ensuring that every aspect of life, from policies to personal choices, is aligned with God’s truth. By doing so, we not only honor our past but secure a hopeful future under God’s guidance.
