Christianity vs Culture

“I would love to see Christians pontificating much less about complex matters they don’t understand….But even if we did all that (and we should), we would not be free from politics. There is no category called ‘politics’ that can be safely quarantined from the category we call ‘religion.’” - Kevin DeYoung

“In this polarized moment, strong legislation isn’t a substitute for wise and discerning leaders.” - Hannah Anderson

“I understand the alarm that my fellow believers feel as we find ourselves increasingly out-of-step…. At the same time, I think this faith in a more muscular government, particularly when it comes to punishing and restraining speech, is misguided for at least three related reasons.” - Providence

“I am compelled to sound a word of warning here. Be very wary when CNN seeks to define what is and what is not true Christianity. And when anyone claims that a form of Christianity is a threat to democracy, it is usually a pretext for marginalization and persecution.” - Kevin Schaal

“In recent years, many Christians have either abandoned or deprioritized the notion of truth, elevating personal experience over what God has revealed about Himself and His world. …Christians must not give up on the idea of truth nor downplay its importance, even in an attempt to gain a wider hearing. Christianity matters precisely because it is true. If it isn’t true, it doesn’t matter.” - Breakpoint

“Presuming to be God’s agent to achieve political righteousness through mass bloodshed is not a model for Christian public engagement….Fanaticism, certitude, sanctimony, self-righteousness and messianic impatience are never helpful companions to constructive politics or social reform, for Christians or anybody else.” - CPost

Henry was a Baptist who sometimes didn’t write like one!

“…there is a third way: one can still love their neighbor who is of the world while not agreeing with their actions.” - Denison Forum

“Christians are faced with a situation that has perhaps not been seen widely in the West since the fourth century: To be both a good church member and a good citizen has become increasingly difficult. Difficult choices will have to be made in the coming years.” - Carl Trueman
