Politics
Reminders for a political season (mostly for me):
1. We are not baptized into a political party, but into Christ. This sets our priority.
2. Only Christ, not a party, is to be sanctified in our hearts as Lord (1 Pet 3:15). There is no competition for Lordship. If there is, we are guilty of idolatry.
3. The Christian’s identity is wrapped up in Christ, not in a party or human. To live is Christ (Phil 1:21; Col 3:4).
4. No party or other person has been crucified for us. Nor are we crucified with or for a party, but only Christ (Gal 2:20). Our only boasting is in the cross (Gal 6:14).
5. Liberty for the Christian is not ultimately determined by the state, but by the Lord, who governs all. This is true regardless of what government does.
6. Don’t lend support to what is clearly immoral, whether it be a person, a platform, or a party.
7. Let Scripture guide our thinking in all matters related to … everything.
8. If we believe this world is not our home, then we must not make our home inside of worldly agendas (1 John 2:15-17).
9. Submit to governing authorities, pray for leaders, use freedom as servants of God (Rom 13; 1 Tim 2:1-4; 1 Pet 2:13-17)
10. Do good, be kind, love others, including enemies, and set your mind on things above (Rom 12:9-21; Col 3:2; Phil 4:8). Doy Moyer
