Does it bother you when you hear a preacher tell people how to vote? Or do you wish your church would be more vocal about supporting specific views or candidates? In this program, Chip teaches what God says in His Word about the church, the state, and a Christian’s participation. Learn about the responsibilities of each party and how we can apply this theological framework to how we engage in the political process.

Main Points

The Question: How to navigate through the maze of the church/politics conflict?

The Answer: Four biblical absolutes for building a theological framework to think clearly about the Church and politics.

There are two kingdoms in conflict. -John 18:36-37, 19:10-12
Every believer has dual citizenship. -Mark 12:13-17
Human governments are ordained by God to restrain evil. -Romans 13:1-7
The Church is ordained by God to make disciples. -Matthew 28:18-20

The Next Question: How do we move from a theological framework to specific applications for daily living?

The Answer: Understanding the roles and responsibilities of the church, the government, and the individual believer in the political arena.

Let the Church be the Church!
Don’t expect the government to achieve what only the Church can accomplish.
Don’t expect the Church to accomplish what only individual believers can accomplish.
