Dare Not Be Silent
May 11, 2017
Ponder This
We are to praise our country when it does right. We are to preach to our country when it does wrong. God’s people dare not be silent.
Let me be very frank with you about politics and Christian involvement. Christians should not identify the Christian faith with Democrats or Republicans. We need to be free to tell both parties to repent and get right with God.
Christians will be civil, but we will not be silent. Nathan warned David. Elijah preached to Ahab. Eleazer warned Jehoshaphat. Daniel preached to Nebuchadnezzar. Moses warned Pharaoh. John the Baptist preached to Herod.
We must declare to any government under which we live: Whatever is morally wrong is not politically right. And as long as I am talking on this subject, let me add that as long as abortionists kill babies and doctors practice infanticide, I will not be silent.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
