Politics in the Pews
By Ben Carver
What are your expectations on Sunday morning when you enter your church and sit in the pew?
Do you expect a political message from the pulpit? Perhaps a soft sermon about an amiable God who just wants you to be happy?
It seems that some churches and denominations have drifted further away from preaching about repentance of sin and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Instead of hearing a message of salvation from hell, more and more Christians in the pews suffer through ambiguous messages about a tolerant, nondescript deity or listen to their pastor peddle a political agenda from the pulpit.
