ARTICLE: We Need Prophets, Not Partisans

As citizens of a kingdom not of this world Christians should use their faith to influence their politics, but many times the opposite is true. In an age of information overload Christians are being discipled by cable news instead of a pastor at a local church. As a result, Christians are being shaped by politics rather than by the Bible resulting in some of our churches becoming "political echo chambers." Author Brett McCracken calls on the local church to be a prophetic witness where diverse political opinions are found and critqued by eternal concerns of the kingdom of heaven.
