"Our highest allegiance is to God, but we have a duty to our country as well," wrote the late Adrian Rogers.
The Divine Call to Political Engagement
(From Decision Magazine)
Our government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We are some of “the people,” and we are to participate in our government. Jesus said to give to Caesar the things that belong to Caesar and give to G-d the things that belong to G-d (Mark 12:17).
If you do not participate in your government, you have not rendered to your Caesar the things that belong to your Caesar.
If, for example, you do not vote—if you do not inform yourself—in my estimation, you have disobeyed the Lord Jesus Christ. It is inconceivable that God would have ordained human government and then tell His people to stay out of it. If that is true, who does that leave to run it?
We as Christians are to participate, not on the basis of parties or persons or politics, but on principles. Our highest allegiance is to G-d, but we have a duty to our country as well.
We’re not to force our views on anyone else, but we should be persuasive in what we do. Our government is a democracy, and America is based on public opinion. May I tell you, the only hope for America is to change public opinion? Do you know the only thing that can change public opinion? The Word of G-d.
