Summary

"Christianity and politics don't mix." We've heard this false narrative from our elected officials and from our pulpits for generations. The result of this misguided approach is obvious: Politics is now a stronghold of "spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places." We can't see when angels and demons are battling against each other—if we did it would absolutely change our posture toward prayer and we would take our place on the battlefield. Our Constitution was written for moral people. The church at large absolutely must take part in our civic process. If not Christians, who do you think is representing a Biblical Worldview?

Two Kingdoms: But we can be sure that both spiritual powers are at work consistently. One marches to God's orders and the other follows Satan's command.
