Reclaiming the Pulpit: Why Christians Are the GOP’s Biggest Problem in Politics
Description
On this episode of I’m Right, Deal With It, Andy Parrish lays out a bold argument: Christians are the “number one problem that the Republican Party faces” because they’ve allowed “every bad thing that has happened in this country to happen” by staying silent and sitting on the sidelines.
He challenges the two biggest lies that have kept the church out of politics:
The lie of turning people off to the gospel: Parish argues that the gospel is already challenging, and pastors aren’t afraid to confront sin. He states that being politically vocal might even “turn people on” to the church.
The lie about nonprofit status: Andy busts the myth that churches will lose their tax-exempt status by getting political. He explains that religious institutions are automatically nonprofits and that most churches wouldn’t pay income taxes anyway, as they don’t turn a profit.
Ultimately, Andy Parrish says it’s time for Christians to “wake up” and get involved, reminding listeners that we are called to be ambassadors of Jesus in every aspect of life, including the political arena.
Listen to the full episode and find out why it’s time for churches to stop being silent and “get in the fight”.
