Publisher's Synopsis
¿Es posible discrepar políticamente y amar incondicionalmente? La reacción de los evangélicos a los cambios políticos y culturales en los últimos años reveló lo que más valoran. Al acecho debajo de nuestra retórica atada a la Biblia, afirmaciones de fe, libros y sermones, ¡hay un impulso implacable para GANAR!
Is it possible to politically disagree and love unconditionally? The reaction of evangelicals to political and cultural changes in recent years revealed what they value the most. Lurking beneath our rhetoric tied to the Bible, statements of faith, books, and sermons, there is an unyielding drive to WIN!
But the church is not here to win. By all human measures, our Savior lost. On purpose. With a purpose. And we are His body. We are not in this to win anything. We are in this for something entirely different. That "something more" is what this book is about.
You will discover:
-
How to take a stand the right way. You will learn to present your case with humility and understanding, rather than being driven by the fear of losing something.
-
How to view politics through the lens of faith. Learn with curiosity, listen intentionally, and love unconditionally.
-
How Jesus' life and teachings apply to today's challenges in a fresh way. The "biblical" stance may not be what we have been taught.
Jesus never asked His followers to agree on everything. But He did call His followers to obey a new mandate: to love others the same way He has loved us. Instead of asserting our rights or fighting for power, we should start asking ourselves: What does love require of me?
