Let us contend for our faith with grace and love

The Church has had a positive influence throughout history when it adhered to the values of the gospel, but it has also mishandled authority and brought shame to the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, caution is needed when advocating for greater integration between Church and government. However, Christians have a responsibility to hold societies to the moral and spiritual values of the gospel and to use their positions of influence to facilitate the spread of the gospel. Biblical figures like Joseph, Daniel, and Nehemiah used political power to advance the interests of the Kingdom of God, and Christians today should follow their example. When holding public office, Christians must rely on prayer and the word of God to gain wisdom and handle power according to gospel values. Christians cannot be hesitant or shy when God gives them the opportunity to legislate on his behalf, but they must proceed with humility, honesty, and transparency. Read more...

Borja Flores: In the midst of a world that has chosen secularism, where are we Christians to give them the right direction and take them towards the divine purpose when he created man and woman?
