The Battle To Save America

Everyone wants more Americans to be more involved in politics. Many states are making it easier for people to register to vote and cast their ballots. Boosting voter registration and civic participation is a constant theme . . . except for one category of voters – Christians. 

While so many voices are urging more Americans to get involved, Christians are being told, “You shouldn’t get involved. Haven’t you heard of the separation of church and state?” 

Some even see Christians as a dangerous threat, denouncing them as so-called “Christian nationalists.”

Sadly, many pastors are reinforcing the message by telling their congregations, “I don’t get involved in politics” or “I don’t address political issues like abortion or marriage from the pulpit” or “Saving America is not the mission of the church.”

The latest effort to confuse Christians is coming from a slick, well-funded media campaign that’s pushing the theme, “Jesus was fed up with politics, too.” Maybe you’ve seen their ads. 

The message is obvious: Jesus wouldn’t be involved in politics, so Christians shouldn’t be either.

So, is that the way to go? Should Christians just sit on the sidelines with their heads in the sand and ignore the culture war raging around us? 

I don’t think so. In fact, that mindset is dangerous. The secular, globalist, neo-Marxist left would love nothing more than for Christians to take a pass on politics as men and women of faith remain the last obstacle to their “fundamental transformation of America.”
