Christians, Politics, and Government - Are Christians Political?

Christians, Politics, and Government - Are Christians Political?
As was inevitable, some have wondered if this series has been "political" - wondering if that is improper. Christianity is political, and speaking as a Christian inevitably has political implications. However, we do not speak in a partisan manner to support one party or another. We speak the truth in love with wisdom, as nearly as we can discern it, with humility. We explore this theme in this episode of the Christians, Politics, and Government series.

Christians, Politics, and Government - To Love My Neighbor

Christians, Politics, and Government - To Love My Neighbor
In our series on Christians, Politics, and Government we are moving into considering what it means to love our neighbor. This message only mentions briefly any application of this idea to government and politics, so expect to be personally challenged. Of course, listeners are encouraged to consider how the concept of loving one's neighbor is embodied in our current politics and government policies. Questions for discussion and personal application are reproduced here for your convenience: Questions for Discussion: What does “neighbor” mean when Jesus tells us to love our neighbors? Is there someone – even an enemy – that God brings to your mind as we discuss this? How do I love that person in a way that honors who I am in Jesus? For Personal Change: Is there one thing God wants you to do to love the person He brought to mind before in a way that honors Jesus? Or, is there one thing God is leading you to do to prepare to better love that person? Lair Ky's slides from her self-care message are .

Christians, Politics, and Government - Other Gods
In our series on Christians, Politics, and Government we are moving into considering what "other gods" may be taking priority in our politics, government - and in our own lives. This briefer-than-usual message includes questions for discussion and personal application, reproduced here for your convenience: Questions for Discussion: 1. What are “other gods” are given priority in our society? What other gods do we see in politics, laws, and government policies – or in business practices? 2. What changes would be needed to dethrone these “other gods” in our society? Why would this be good? What would change? 3. What “other gods” take power in my own life? If I am honest with myself, what changes do I need to make? 4. How can we become people who allow God to rule in our own lives? In what ways can we (in humility, with grace) demonstrate to others how it is best to follow Jesus’ teaching? For Personal Change: What might God be saying to me is the next thing He would like to change in my life so that I really follow Jesus as my Lord? Visit us on the web: .

Christians, Politics, and Government - Fear
We seem to be living in a time when politics is particularly driven by fear, when government is introducing policies that seem to be motivated or supported by fear. What does it mean to be a Christian - to follow Jesus, in such a time? We consider the most frequent instruction or command one can find in the Christian scriptures: "Do not be afraid!" Why? How?

Christians, Politics, and Government - The Foundation
What does it mean to be a Christian - to follow Jesus? Many Christians in the United States seem to be doing things that are inconsistent with following Jesus, or supporting such things. So how do we identify what it means to be a Christian? How do we evaluate the actions of our government? What responsibility do we have to speak up when things are done that are are inconsistent with following Jesus? How do we, as followers of Jesus, relate to politics and government?

Afterwards, They Sang - Preparing for Passover and Resurrection Sunday
Matthew reports in chapter 26, verse 30 that Jesus and the disciples sang... something? I mean, after eating the Passover meal that we often call The Last Supper. What did they sing? In this episode we discuss the Psalms that they would have sung (Psalms 113-118) and then my granddaughter Malea and I read them for your meditation so you can hear them in the context of Jesus going to the cross, being sent out of God's love to save the world!

Jesus has taught us to seek first God's kingdom and right relationships - and not to judge or condemn others, but to use discernment.

Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" has included his warning against hypocrisy, then his encouragement toward generosity, and last time we condluded with his admonition that we cannot serve both God and money!
