THE WORD WILL NOT BE CHAINED: OCTOBER 12, 2025

from Holy Trinity Ankeny · host Pastor Tim Olson

There is a lot of discussion and questions about "Christian Nationalism" these days. It is a not a new phenomenon. It happens whenever people mix faith and patriotism into a stew that becomes neither patriotic nor faithful. It probably first appeared when Emperor Constantine won the battle at the Milvian Bridge under a banner with a cross. From that point, using Christ as a tool for political power became part of history. Today, the American version seeks to victimize those we disfavor, call empathy and compassion, diversity, and equity evil. The Word of God, however, will not be chained to any nation or ideal. We are citizens of God's reign, not any country. The healing of one of the enemies of Israel, a citizen of another nation, makes the point.
