Christians, Politics, and the Cross

by Erwin Lutzer

We are living in a time when we desperately need to engage our culture with the only message that has any hope of transforming it. Yet, many Christians have pushed aside the cross in order to fight the world on its own terms and with its own strategies. Instead, Pastor Lutzer says, we must stand on biblical ground. This fight is not one against our fellow Americans, it’s “against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Let us not retreat or become silent, but let us remember where our true allegiance lies. This book reminds us that spiritual redemption, not political reformation, is at the heart of God's agenda. Only the church, not a political party, can bear God’s message to a hurting world. And the world is watching us. Are we showing them Christ?

Past Lutzer is such an insightful teacher and author. This was an enlightening read, and even though written in 2020 is so relevant today. As we await for Christ's return, we do have a battle on earth against evil. Chapter 5: Carrying the Cross into a Hostile Political World is a worthy read to apply today.

A wonderfully encouraging book for Christians who are concerned with the current political climate. We know for certain that our King Jesus will come to reign, and we need not fear any politician or social agenda!

Loved this quote in the book!! “He who believes that Christ rules above, need not fear what happens below!”
