America has been fundamentally transformed in many ways. Christians are now the nation's official bigots. Christians who oppose homosexuality are haters. Christians who think that transgenderism isn’t normal are intolerant. American Christians have never been confronted with so much animosity. As the threats continue to mount, it is prudent to ask the question we never imagined we would have to ponder: "How does a born-again believer live in a culture that increasingly hates us?" God wants a holy, set apart, distinct people who respond to animosity in such profoundly shocking ways that sinners get saved. Persecution sets forth a biblical response to perhaps the most urgent question of our day.

"Reclaim America!" "Stay out of politics!" "Pastors should only preach the Gospel!" "Pastors need to preach about the election!" There are many competing Christian voices telling us what to do about the state of the American union. Some voices tell us that America is lost if we don’t elect the right president. Others tell us that the role of the Christian is to win souls, not elections. What is the role of the Christian in politics? What is the role of the church in politics? Is there a difference? The Bible responds to those questions in great detail and the answers are different than Glenn Beck’s responses. Politics does NOT: Seek to persuade you on political issues. Tell you which candidates to vote for. Offer a formula for reclaiming our country. Dive into Politics and you will be diving into your Bible to determine, “What is my role in American politics?” The answer will likely surprise you.
