Title: Pastors, Christians, the Church and Politics
Shelly and I recently did a podcast with Pastor Allen Jackson of the World Outreach Church.
Here are a few key points from the podcast:
- We all have a worldview – this is the filter we use to look at the world.
What is a worldview? Our worldview is the values we hold and how we decide and respond to things around us.
Christian – worldview: If you choose to grow up and mature in the Lord, you invite Christ into all parts of your life.
- As you integrate Scripture into your life, you begin to construct a worldview formed from the Biblical perspective.
- Hostility to a Christian worldview from the media: we get an antagonism to a Christian worldview.
But we must purposefully construct a Christian worldview – and the Holy Spirit will help us.
- How we respond to things around us comes from our worldview.
Christians and voting: Approximately 30-40% of people in the church are not registered to vote.
And approximately 20-30% of people in the church do not vote in the election.
- The root of our problems are not the depravity of the wicked. It’s the ambivalence of the faithful that is the problem.
- Pastors and politics. Pastors are employees of the church and are afraid of talking about what is happening in our world today.
Pastors understand that if they transgress boundaries – their jobs are at risk.
In the election of 2020, many pastors did not even mention an election.
