“Trump’s rise marked a critical turning point: the emergence of the New Right, a movement that seeks to conserve the common good, even if it means upsetting the status quo. The American people deserve a military that pursues their own ends, a school system and academy that teaches them their history, a media that tells them the truth, a health care system that doesn’t poison them in order to heal them, and most importantly an economy that allows them to own their home, marry, and provide for their own American children.”
(Colin Redemer – American Reformer) The starting point for any discussion of Christianity and politics is to understand the centrality of truth in Christianity. Jesus, in the gospels, says he is the truth. And that is only the most striking of the truth claims Christianity makes, a comprehensive list of which would be far beyond the scope of this short talk. The average Christian is, hopefully, aware that the central and immovable truth of Christianity is around the question of salvation: who can be saved? And how can salvation come to the individual soul? But of course, the Christian truth moves far beyond that to explain the nature of the God who saves us, and also to talk not just about our individual bodies but also to talk about the salvation of our body politic….
What, if any, is the solution to our political problem–to the problems that beset us not as individuals but as vast teaming nations of peoples? In both cases one of the key features of Christianity is that it teaches us not to expect our personal deeds to bring about the resolution to our cosmic problems. Your salvation will be brought about by a work of God in history in the incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection and return of Jesus and it will come to bear in your life by the act of God’s grace coming to you from God Himself. The salvation of the nations will, similarly, come about by the act of God at the end of history in the eschaton.
The conservative voice and Christian content are being silenced more and more. CRN offers a lifeline to conservative people of faith who are disgusted with social media and the leftmedia for failing to report, even blocking, important news stories that don’t comport with the far left’s narrative.
