It's Not Too Late to Abandon "Christian Nationalism"

Andrew Walker has a fantastic article out that cuts through the noise on the idea of promoting Christian nationalism. It is very balanced and reminds us that we do want to bring our morality to our politics, but to be wary of using the government to achieve the goals of the church. The "Christian Nationalist" movement has also accumulated some sinful antisemitic and racist actors who are actually undermining the purpose of the church to bring all nations the hope of the gospel.

Here is a sampling from the article:

Even while Christianity grants the legitimacy of nationhood, Christianity has never required nationalism to thrive. The greatest movements of faith in history have come not through state power but through personal repentance, cultural renewal, and moral leadership. Politics obviously matters, and the law should conform to Christian principles. At the same time, the church’s strength has always been in its ability to transform individuals and communities, not in its ability to wield political force.

It is well worth your time to read and think on.
