Christianity
is not the property of any Political Party
Faith
is not registered with the Republican or the Democratic Party.
The
Kingdom of God does not appear on a ballot, and the gospel was never meant to
be reduced to a partisan loyalty test.
Christians
are called to follow Jesus Christ, and not to pledge spiritual allegiance to a
political coalition of any type. Any attempt
to declare one party “God’s Party” and the other “Satan’s party is not
theology: it’s scripture manipulation.
The
Jesus of the Gospels centered his ministry around the least of these, the poor,
the prisoner, the stranger, the marginalized.
Yet many of the loudest voices claiming moral superiority are the same
voices opposing “Healthcare, Food assistance, Housing support, and other
lifelines for vulnerable people.
Christianity
is not and never has been defined by a party platform at all. The Gospels speak to justice, mercy,
humility, compassion for the poor, protection of the vulnerable, honesty in
leadership, and love for one’s neighbor.
No political party in America perfectly
embodies those values. Both parties fall far short, because politics is human
and the Kingdom of God is Spiritual.
PREACHERS
– PREACH THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST “ONLY”.
