The concept of the christian and the politician is such that it has been met with many debates. It always has opinions from one school of thought or the other. Some literally are asking why and whether a christian should be involved in politics, that is, in the process that leads to the different events of governance in society. Others have said that without political offices at all, the church has a role to influence the society by influencing the government. With this comes the oftentimes misplaced emphasis on the monarchy in scripture, or let's say the political systems found in the scriptures of the prophets.Today in the 21st Century, we are faced with the challenge of being able to interpret those events of scripture vis-a-vis things that are happening right before us today. I for one, having had my own experience in politics, and definitely not aspiring for a political office but involved both in the process of voting and also helping others to be voted for, belonging to political parties, having to subscribe with ideologies which sometimes might not be wholesale in agreement with yours. How should a Christian therefore handle this aspect of human existence?Should a Christian totally avoid politics or should a Christian get involved and to what extent? What should be the role of a believer if at all he finds a leeway or a door to be involved in the politics or political governance of the society. These are the issues that we choose to look at in this material. The scriptures definitely have enough light and understanding on virtually every aspect of human endeavour and sociology, socialisation and politics is one of such. If the scriptures give us instructions on marriage, how to treat kings, how to treat royals and nobles, then definitely the scriptures are not quiet on what politics should be to us and how we should relate and be involved in such issues. This material will seek to look at the kingdom of God, the kingdoms of men and how government is to be seen from the perspective of the gospel.We trust that this book will help believers; particularly those who have political aspirations to know the roles that politics and secular governance are given to in scripture and how a believer should comport himself, if at all he is permitted by scriptures, his conscience or by his belief systems to be involved in the field of politics. We trust that this will be an answer to the questions in the hearts of many as they seek whether to see believers in politics as true christians or whether they themselves should aspire to political offices. We trust that our eyes will open to God's word at the instance of this book and our minds will be enlightened. Once again, sit back with all your study materials as we journey together through the scriptures as we look at the christian faith and politics.

Should Christians be involved in political issues? This comprehensive and readable book presents a political philosophy from the perspective that the Gospel pertains to all of life, including politics. Politics—According to the Bible is an in-depth analysis of conservative and liberal plans to do good for the nation, evaluated in light of the Bible and common sense. Evangelical Bible professor, and author of the bestselling book Systematic Theology, Wayne Grudem unpacks and rejects five common views about Christian influence on politics: "compel religion," "exclude religion," "all government is demonic," "do evangelism, not politics," and "do politics, not evangelism." Instead, he defends a position of "significant Christian influence on government" and explains the Bible's teachings about the purpose of civil government and the characteristics of good or bad governments. Grudem provides a thoughtful analysis of over fifty specific and current political issues dealing with: The protection of life. Marriage, the family, and children. Economic issues and taxation. The environment. National defense Relationships to other nations. Freedom of speech and religion. Quotas. And special interests. Throughout this book, he makes frequent application to the current policies of the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States, but the principles discussed here are relevant for any nation.

Voting is an opportunity to promote, protect, and preserve godly government. Passing up this opportunity means allowing those who would degrade the name of Christ to have their way in our lives. The Bible is clear, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established" (Romans 13:1). Since the Bible commands that we are to submit to government, we must ask ourselves: to what type of government do we want to submit? God in Government compellingly answers this question and covers other related subjects - often from a historical perspective. The book's emphasis is on how and why the United States has gone from being a Christian nation to a culture of secular humanism. How events like the Industrial Revolution and the Great Depression continue to impact our worldview and the way we vote. The reader will discover the true differences between the political parties, and why groups like labor unions, school teachers, and the media tend to align themselves with a particular party. Among other topics, we examine the Christian roots of capitalism and the truth behind the "separation of church and state." The book covers social issues like legalized abortion, gay rights, and welfare programs; and gives solutions and suggestions as to what Christians can do to get our nation back on track. RAY HARKER is an ideological activist and founder of God in Government, a conservative grassroots movement for which this book is the manual. Both the organization and the book are designed to educate and assist Evangelical Christians in the areas of civic responsibility and political ideology. The outreach provides lectures and seminars for churches and other interested groups. To learn more, visit www.godgov.org.

I love the life of Moses. Therefore as an example and encouragement to some of our Christian leaders and normal Christians alike this book is my own opinion as to why it is important to enter politics. I have heard over and over again that Christians should not enter politics because we should be different. True! God called us to be holy and set apart. However, from my point of view I beg to differ on the matter of entering politics. In my opinion I believe we should enter politics and remain different, we should remain holy, humble, and certainly close to God.

Christians need not be indifferent to the culture, in a society that has proven to be hostile to the Christian faith. They must seek to be equipped with the Christian worldview. This will empower them to understand and apply the total counsel of God to all areas of culture, as a means of bringing every area of thought to the obedience of Christ. The Lordship of Christ is not just for the Church, but the government, education, economics, law, and more. Christians must comprehend the dynamic relationship between the culture and the Christian faith since the Lordship of Christ encompasses and overlaps every area of life and reality, as there is nothing concerning reality that is not spiritual. Christians of our day have been sitting on the fence and very complacent to culture and society. And in response to Christ's command to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's..., Christians have rendered to Caesar, not just what belongs to him, but that which belongs to God as well. In our quest for righteousness, we have relinquished justices, what is the result? We have neither. This is the consequence of Christians woefully abandoning their Biblical obligation of "light and "salt" ministry and neglecting the cultural mandate and our commission to disciple our nations. (Matthew 28: 19-20; Genesis 1:28).Christianity demands that we not only be concerned but to be involved in our society. The Christian perspective of politics does not accept the separation of morality from politics; instead, consider all politics as a moral enterprise. The government regulates how citizens live in society, and how we live and treat each other primarily connects with the Christian cultural commission (mandate) to care for God's creation. In addition to the negative function of restraining crime in society, the government has a positive function of promoting a just social order so that people can live in peace and harmony. This is what Apostle Paul meant when he urged Timothy to, "...pray for their rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives, full of worship and holiness." The government should develop society and sustain a stable environment, in which people can live, dream, aspire, pursue, and fulfill their passion and destinies. They should protect the peoples' voluntary effort to shape civil society and community, by granting equal protection of the law and by upholding principles of justice to all-to the poor and the rich. The government must ensure that the weak and powerless are not exploited by guaranteeing liberty and providing security for everyone. This book is a wakeup call for all Christians. It discourages Christians from standing on the sideline of culture and provides the wisdom, strategy, and framework for Christian cultural engagement, including government and politics. It encourages and inspires Christians to defend Biblical principles, as they blend with government policies and laws. This will enliven an environment of freedom for all citizens to fulfill their potentials, without discrimination or oppression. It also expounds the Biblical basis for civil obedience and disobedience, as potent tools for restoring liberty and liberating society from the shackles of dictatorship. Indeed, it is a call for action for Christians everywhere to restore their decadent society bedeviled with godless governments so that the gospel is not hindered. The book highlights the challenges against the silent Church that does not stand up or speaks to the issues in society but enmeshed in status quo syndrome. It presents the true picture of the New Testament Church and how the disciples considered obeying God's commands a priority when it conflicts with the government's laws and policies. It explores the right theological solution, as the answers to the bisecting questions on the issues of governance.

In this addition to the acclaimed Engaging Culture series, a highly respected author and Christian thinker offers a principled, biblical perspective on engaging political culture as part of one's calling. James Skillen believes that constructive Christian engagement depends on the belief that those made in the image of God are created not only for family life, agriculture, education, science, industry, and the arts but also for building political communities, justly ordered for the common good. He argues that God made us to be royal stewards of public governance from the outset and that the biblical story of God's creation, judgment, and redemption of all things in Jesus Christ has everything to do with politics and government. In this irenic, nonpartisan treatment of an oft-debated topic, Skillen critically assesses current political realities and helps readers view responsibility in the political arena as a crucial dimension of the Christian faith.
