#310 3 Resolutions for the Church about Politics in 2024

The Good Citizen Podcast

It’s a presidential election year! Many church leaders and other committed Christians are rightly concerned about how the church (as a movement of believers) engaged in or disengaged from public life in 2020. So, what will 2024 bring? This year certainly presents a challenge but is also an opportunity for the church to have a strong, intentional, and grace-filled influence in American public life. And here are three key resolutions for doing just that.

1. We will not divide over issues of conscience.
2. We will not disengage from public life.
3. We will disciple Christians in their role as citizen.

Key Takeaways

• Thoughts on 2024 and the state of the American experiment. The machinery of our democratic republic is creaking/sputtering, pressured by division rather than unity, expressive individualism rather than individual responsibility, open license rather than ordered liberty, secular philosophies rather than Biblical truths, and threats internal and external from a changing world order. Self-government requires self-control. If freedom is the fuel of America, the “open license,” low-octane version of freedom will not make it go. We need a recommitment to ordered liberty, and the church is the best hope for restoring that view of freedom. Thus, 2024 is a critical year. I don’t know if it the most important election in our lifetime, but it certainly is an important election.
