Hello! Personal political views aside, I've seen some people argue that socialism is inherently sinful and that to accept social security, public education, etc. is not part of God's design for government. They understand God's intended purpose for government to be negative, such as prohibiting...

Article: 2020 Faith Vote Reflects 2016 Patterns I read this article, thought it had some interesting bits, so I thought I'd share. Here's some highlights: "A notable fact in 2016 was that exit polls showed about 80% of white evangelical Christians supported Trump..." "I think the Democrats...

I started this thread because I believe it's important for Christians to examine what pastors are saying on the pulpit and see if their words and actions matches the Bible. Recently, I came across an article in the New York Times about a pastor in South Korea currently leading a mass...

Today in the Australian parliament, a right wing minor party senator pulled a stunt by wearing a Burqa into the senate chamber as she took her place. She was asked to identify herself which she did followed up by her proposition to the senate floor to make the wearing of a Burqa illegal. The...

We know that many turned away from Jesus when they realized that he wasn’t going to lead a political rebellion against Rome. His primary concern was not earthly politics, but spiritual health. We also find that the primary evidence that people are true followers of Christ is their love for one...

My mother told me, - I'm paraphrasing here - that we should despise (she doesn't like the word hate) all democrats in the world. My father told me, that it shouldn't matter whether someone's a republican or democrat as long as they do the right thing. Who am I supposed to believe?

This came in the email this morning (Jan 24) from the Jerusalem News network: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” Ps. 33:12 RELIGIOUS MAKEUP OF THE NEW CONGRESS OVERWHELMINGLY CHRISTIAN: The American Congress is about as Christian...
