Should I leave Facebook or Twitter because of the increasing bias against conservative or Christian views? There are good and bad reasons to leave certain platforms and join others.

An alarming trend is emerging from those who call themselves Evangelicals. Because of their political and social agenda they are abandoning truth, knowledge, and reason to believe and propagate claims from the media sources the agree with. There are great dangers beyond dinner table arguments about politics. When Christians abandon any truth they put Christ in the back seat and undermine their witness in the world.

LGBTQ+ issues are tightly bound up in this year’s election cycle.

The Republican Platform and the Democratic Platform are very different when it comes religious liberty in these matters.

With another election cycle upon us, certain political issues come to the forefront. Christians want to uphold biblical justice on the issue of human life. Abortion, Embryonic research, certain contraceptives, physician assisted suicide and end of life medical issues are all informed by one’s presuppositions. The Bible upholds the sanctity of human life from conception until death. From a justice standpoint Christians seek to support candidates and legislation that upholds human life as well.

What do Christians do when they disagree over politics? Since most Bible believers will hold the same general principles on Justice, we are often surprised that we disagree over policy and candidates. But, our disagreements are usually tied to how we achieve justice, not the need justice. It is in the how that we need a dose of 1 Corinthians 13:1-7. We are actually first brothers and sisters in Christ and not of party or policy. Let love rule.

Does the Bible require the Christian to vote? It all depends what voting means and the issues we are called to vote on. While there are no clear commands telling us to vote, in this episode we will look at compelling reasons why Christians should.
