Politics Through the Lens of Faith: A Christian Path Forward
In an age where pipe bombs are mailed to politicians and places of worship become scenes of violence, how do we maintain our humanity? The political landscape has become a minefield where Christians risk losing their witness through partisan behavior. This isn't just about politics - it's about how we embody Christ in a divided world. When faith becomes weaponized for political gain, we've lost our way. The question isn't whether Christians should engage in politics, but how we can do so while maintaining our primary allegiance to Jesus and His kingdom values. The toxic discourse we witness stems from believing political ideology is paramount or even "God's way." No party perfectly represents God's kingdom. Many Christians align with political parties without critical thinking, letting political ideology become personal identity. We insulate ourselves with like-minded people, creating echo chambers mistaken for harmony. When we narrow our ideology to one political party, we stop thinking critically and demonize those who disagree. Remember - Jesus died for everyone: Left, Right, and everyone in between.
