The Rise of Statism in the Evangelical Church

“Then he will say to those on his left [goats], ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Mat 25:41

“Tim Keller’s recent comparison of Francis Collins, the former head of the NIH who was responsible for much of the government’s COVID policy, to the prophet Daniel is particularly disturbing. Collins is known for his pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ views, and Keller’s suggestion that Christians should blindly follow government mandates, even when they conflict with their religious beliefs and values, represents a fundamental departure from the Church’s traditional stance on religious freedom and conscience.”

(The Dissenter) The growing threat of statism within the Church is a matter of immense concern in today’s society. This dangerous political ideology holds the state as the supreme authority, promoting state-sponsored secularism that allows religious practices but forbids any influence on state policies….

Statism is not a new concept, with a long history in Communist nations such as the former Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and Cuba.
