All of creation is theocentric, therefore when we go campaigning for a political candidate, we must remember that we are not replacing the theocentric order with our own, we are acknowledging the order that already exists. I am a Calvinist, and I believe in honoring God in every area of life, and I see politics as just one more arena for us to bear witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ (Daniel 4:34). Christian political engagements are to be our declaration that Jesus is Lord!. For Christians to ignore this is to ignore the God's rule over that area. When that happens, and the political realm is devoid of Christians, atheists rush to fill that void with something else (Psalms 33:12). We must ground our political and cultural activity in an understanding of the ultimate sovereignty of God Almighty. We are called to be in the world, but not of the world. So as the elections come up, get involved and show your support.
Have a good day!The Adherent
