“The Messiah set us free so that we can enjoy freedom! So stand firm, and don’t get yourselves tied down by chains of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

How does a Christian read this and then still conclude that politics is “beneath us”? Humans were made to be free. Christ followers hold the key that sets people AND nations free. Nations, after all, are simply large groups of individuals and communities. It makes no sense for Christians to be silent in the political arena. In fact, it is a great disservice to do so.
