Is it possible to disagree politically and love unconditionally? The
reaction of evangelicals to political and cultural shifts in recent
years revealed what they value most. Lurking beneath our Bible-laced
rhetoric, faith claims, books, and sermons is a relentless drive to
WIN!
But the church is not here to win. By every human measure, our Savior
lost. On purpose. With a purpose. And we are his body. We are not in it
to win anything. We are in it for something else entirely. That
something else is what this book is about.
You'll discover:
- How to take a stand the right way. You'll learn how to make your
case with a posture of humility and understanding, rather than being
fueled by the fear of losing something.
- How to view politics through the lens of faith. Learn curiously,
listen intentionally, and love unconditionally.
- How the life of Jesus and his teaching applies to modern-day
challenges in a fresh way. The "biblical" stand may not be what
we've been taught.
Jesus never asked his followers to agree on everything. But he did call
his followers to obey a new command: to love others in the same way he
has loved us. Instead of asserting our rights or fighting for power, we
need to begin asking ourselves: what does love require of me?
