What the Bible says about politics?
This week in our What Does the Bible Say About...? series, we explored how followers of Jesus can navigate politics without losing sight of our true mission. While the Bible doesn’t speak directly to modern democracies, it gives us powerful guidance for how to live as ambassadors for Christ in every cultural moment.
Charlie challenges us to consider our primary role—not as political persuaders, but as ministers of reconciliation. Using 2 Corinthians 5, he reminds us that our first allegiance is to Jesus and His mission: to represent Him well, love others deeply, and invite people into relationship with God. That means choosing thoughtfulness over outrage and keeping secondary issues from overshadowing what matters most—pointing people to Jesus.
Whether you’re passionate about policies or tired of political noise, this message invites you to reflect on your heart, your priorities, and how you represent Christ in a divided world.
