218: Does Jesus challenge your politics?
from TruthCurrents · host Evergreen Church | Tulsa, OK
One statement that has become so common place that no one even thinks about challenging it or giving it pushback anymore, is the statement that we hear regularly that Jesus is not a democrat or a republican. Pastors say it from the pulpit; Christians say it on social media. It’s a kind of theological curtesy that’s meant to signal that I somehow have a spiritual walk with Jesus that’s not muddied by engaging in the muck of political debate. Let me explain why that statement needs to be tossed overboard because it is 100% wrong.John G.
