We have a responsibility to get political when it comes to ending poverty—because we know government programs are crucial to making that happen.
Scripture is clear: God cares about justice in the land. When Moses went to Pharaoh, he didn’t take up a collection of canned goods and blankets. He said, let those slaves go free. That’s politics.
I was delighted to join my colleague and friend Ross Kane for a healthy debate on the role of politics in the church for an episode of his podcast, “Love Your Neighbor.” In addition to hosting his excellent show, Ross is a professor at Virginia Theological Seminary and writes about loving our neighbors as Christian politics. He is the author of “The Good News of Church Politics.”
