Should our morality as a nation be grounded in God's will or the will of the people? Ironically, our advocates for a liberal secular democracy are okay as long as the majority is not held by Christians, especially those who run for office or who try to legislate according to biblical morality. Then you are labeled a "threat" to democracy! How do we apply the Lordship of Jesus to our public space? What does it mean to make disciples of all nations? (Matthew 28:18-20)

In our cultural skirmishes, a common tactic is to use a pejorative label to attack or to discredit your enemy. One of those labels attached to believers in Christ is the name "Christian nationalist." It evokes scary images of the Inquisition or the Salem witch trials. If you wear that name badge, you are an object of scorn and derision. So, what is a Christian nationalist, anyway? If we love Jesus and we love our nation, does that make us a threat to democracy? Are nations inherently wrong or should we promote open borders? What does it mean that a nation would be labeled "Christian?" Is that a good thing or something to be feared? So much food for thought in our podcast!

The Bible declares, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."( Proverbs 1:7) This means we have two choices as a nation. We can seek and follow the wisdom of God as we order our life together or we can reject God and His law and pursue the path of radical autonomy. If we will not be governed by Christ, we must necessarily be governed by someone or something else. Neutrality is a myth. Will it be Christ, or will it be chaos? Will it be the word of God or will we submit to a cadre of self-anointed secular experts? This is the choice we face in America today.
