Should Christians Care About Politics? | Lance English

Politics is much bigger than elections. Long before ballots, political parties, or legislation, politics is about how a people are formed and what they believe is good. In this reflection, we explore a distinctly Christian vision of politics through the biblical themes of the city, the nation, and the formation of citizens. Rather than withdrawing from culture or idolizing political power, Christians are called to faithfully serve their communities while remembering that Christ alone is King. We discuss: • Why politics begins with people • The biblical purpose of the public square • Loving your country without idolizing it • Why education shapes every culture • The importance of Christian formation • Seeking the good of your community • Living as faithful citizens and faithful exiles • Looking forward to the City of God The Christian's greatest political hope is not found in Washington. It is found in the coming Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
