Two Kingdoms

The following is an excerpt from Adam Fransisco’s chapter in “Who Am I?” edited by Scott Ashmon (1517 Publishing, 2020).

We're not called to be obedient consumers. We're free in Christ to love and serve our neighbor according to his need

War is a plague, but sometimes it needs to be fought to protect from greater plagues.

Christians are free to engage in political matters, even as Christians, but the church as an institution has a responsibility not to lobby for specific political ends, however worthy and just they might be.
