A huge challenge I find in today’s American culture is to live prophetically as a believer when everything about our culture is more polarizing than any time I can remember.

We need to remember our position as believers… and remember our allegiance.

Some important thoughts:

I am a Kingdom Christian, not a leftist Christian, a conservative Christian, nor any other political brand of Christian. I have even moved away from the term progressive Christian. It is too closely associated with that linear political spectrum. No. I am called to be a prophetic Christian. The axis of my political engagement is scripture and the biblical theology of shalom:  It sets the standards of my political engagement.

The challenge, as always, is to pray for our leaders. And pray with the Kingdom of God in mind.
