American Crossroads: The Intersection of Christianity and Democracy

Should Christians be concerned with faith and evangelism and not politcal affairs? In answering this question American Crossroads provides a thought-provoking look at what it means to submit to the governing authorities of the United States of America. Just as God called for Christians to submit to the Roman government that forced its will upon the people (Rom 13:1) so too is God calling for us to submit to the existing form of government in the United States a government that lives and thrives upon the will and involvement of people. Today by submitting to the government Christian citizens are led to influence the American political process that depends upon the involvement of all citizens for its well-being and survival. Government was Gods idea not ours. But in todays sociopolitical climate foundational truths are routinely challenged and those who hold to a biblical worldview are either intimidated by demands to leave the public square or are voluntarily absenting themselves from the discussion. American Crossroads helps followers of Christ understand Gods idea for government motivating them to be active stewards of the government entrusted to their care. -Jeremy Dys President and General Counsel The Family Policy Council of West Virginia Jesse Wisnewski is currently a graduate student at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
