No Separation of Church and State

A faithful Christian’s convictions don’t bend to fleeting political trends

Their faith shapes their politics like a river carving through rock—sometimes steady, sometimes fierce—touching every part of public life. Separating belief from political philosophy is as unnatural as splitting a heart from a body—good luck finding which half still works.

Faith and Politics—NO DIVIDE

Scripture hums with purpose in civic life, clear as a bell.

“Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God” (Romans 13:1, NLT). It’s common to see political factions each claiming divine favor, while heaven observes impartially. Elections and laws may stumble along, but Christians follow a higher rhythm: “The government will rest on His shoulders… Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God” (Isaiah 9:6, NLT).

Faith Demands Action

Christians can’t leave their beliefs at the voting booth.

Scripture doesn’t suggest—rather, it insists—faith must guide action. When Jesus said, “Pay your taxes… and give respect and honor to those in authority” (Romans 13:7, NLT), He was underscoring that God sees every action.

Scripture to Chew On

• Romans 13:1-7 (NLT): Authority and duty.
• Isaiah 9:6 (NLT): The Messiah’s reign.
• Matthew 23:16 (NLT): Jesus’ sharp critique.
• Daniel 2:21 (NLT): “He controls the course of world events.”
• Proverbs 29:2 (NLT): “When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice.”

Takeaway

Faith Moves with Resolve

No one can separate a Christian’s faith from their politics without causing conflict. What the heart believes, the mind shapes, and the feet follow—grounded in conviction and conveyed with a thoughtful tone. In all things, faith leads the way.
