Should Christians Be Politically Involved or Withdrawn? with Michael Bird

Oct 16 2024 47 mins  
Which came first: your political beliefs or the Bible’s stance on political issues? Too often, many Christians start with a political position and then go to the Bible seeking justification for their predetermined beliefs. But how can we truly know what the Bible says on specific political issues? And how involved should Christians be when it comes to politics? This week, Michael
