Citizens of Heaven: Why Nationalism Distorts the Gospel. Patriotism can be good, but nationalism can be deadly. While gratitude for one’s country is natural, when national identity becomes entwined with the gospel, the result is distortion. Many in history have equated loyalty to Christ with loyalty to a flag, but Scripture is clear: our highest citizenship is not earthly but heavenly.

Every Man Did What Was Right in His Own Eyes: The Anatomy of Moral Relativism. When there is no higher standard than personal preference, chaos follows. The book of Judges captures a time in Israel’s history when covenant loyalty gave way to self-rule. Its recurring refrain—“every man did what was right in his own eyes”—is more than a historical observation; it is a timeless diagnosis of moral relativism.

Choose This Day: Faith as Covenant, Not Culture. Faith is not a cultural inheritance, a family tradition, or a national identity. From Joshua’s farewell at Shechem to Jesus’ call to discipleship, the message is the same: every generation must choose to serve the LORD. Yet many today speak of being “born Christian” or rely on cultural heritage as proof of faith.

Theocracy, Democracy, and the Myth of a “Christian Country”. Few ideas stir as much debate among Christians today as the relationship between faith and politics. Some insist America is (or was) a “Christian nation.” Others argue that democracy and faith should be kept entirely separate. But what does Scripture actually teach? The Bible presents a form of government radically different from both monarchy and democracy: a theocracy—direct rule by God.

Christian Nationalism: Why Blending the Cross and the Flag Damages the Gospel. “Christian nationalism” promises cultural renewal by wedding Christian identity to national identity. It sounds noble—who doesn’t want a “Christian nation”?—but history and Scripture warn that mixing the kingdom of God with the kingdoms of this world distorts both. The gospel cannot be reduced to a party platform or enforced by state power without being disfigured.

Who Is Blessed in Abraham? A Critical Exegesis of Genesis 12:1–3 and the Israel Question. In recent decades, Genesis 12:1–3 has become a theological cornerstone in many Christian circles, particularly among evangelical and Zionist movements, used to defend unwavering support for the modern nation-state of Israel. But does the text truly support this view?

Should Politics Be Preached from the Pulpit? The modern church is increasingly divided by political allegiances. In an age where faith is often conflated with political identity, the pulpit has become, for many, a platform for nationalistic rhetoric rather than gospel proclamation. But Scripture offers a higher citizenship—and a humbler posture.
