Rescue your church from the infiltration of partisan politics.
Especially in this election season, the political discourse within our
country grows more rancorous and increasingly uncivil. During the last
several decades there has been a growing tendency to conflate one's
theological commitments with one's political ideology. As a consequence,
partisan politics has infiltrated our churches and political
commitments are creating unnecessary divisions. Perhaps of most concern,
these trends generally tend to obscure the properly holistic nature of
the Gospel of Christ and turn people off to Christianity altogether. Too
often, it often seems politics has more influence than theology. Sadly,
this leads to division, where decisions on church direction, and even
the content of teaching, gets determined more based on partisan politics
than on sound biblical and theological factors.
Hijacked explores this phenomenon, offers analysis, and proposes a way forward.
