Don't Worry About Being 'Too Political' in the Pulpit

Details: Published on Tuesday, 07 February 2012 09:14

As part of the January-February issue on social transformation of Ministry Today, Jim Garlow, pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in San Diego, wrote an informative and encouraging column on the need for pastors to practice true biblical preaching—which includes preaching that has clear implications for the political arena.

You can read his Pastor's Heart column titled "Preach It!" by clicking here. You will find out how hundreds of pastors have stood in their pulpits and defied the massive governmental intrusion into the pulpit (the Johnson Amendment) as part of the PulpitFreedom.com movement.

More than ever, congregations are hungry for preaching that has implications for the political spectrum. Do you preach about politics from your pulpit? Please give us your feedback.

I also remind the congregation that God loves everyone and really does not care if you are Republican or Democratic. He cares that you come to love and know Jesus and (as Romans 8:34-39 states) there is nothing that will separate you from him to include if you have had an abortion or are homosexual.

I quite often remind our folks of the Christian values of being pro-life and traditional marriage as well as the intrusion of the current administration in the White House upon our religious liberties.
