Description:
Many Americans
assume that God is on their side. They believe that if they thank God for the
good things they enjoy, give their money to help people who experience
earthquakes, tsunamis and AIDS, and fight terrorists who want to destroy their
freedoms, then somehow they are God’s chosen people and God should continue to
bless them. But they are not God’s chosen people. Only the nation of Israel can
claim that, and it has not kept God from severely judging them.
The involvement of
the church in political issues is good. But Christians have taken some very
serious wrong turns. How can Christians be involved in changing moral and
public policies in America, but not cloud the issue of the gospel? Does God
have a side in the moral and public policies being debated in our country? In
today’s culture war, what are liberals and conservatives missing? What seven
biblical principles describe how God deals with nations? Why should Christian
leaders not endorse political candidates or parties? Our series “Our Nation at
the Crossroads: Is God on America’s Side?” discusses these issues.
