The Best Way To Get Started With A Biblical View On Current Events
I love looking at the cultural issues of the day and current events through a biblical lens.
When I first got interested in a biblical take on culture and current events, I had no idea just how relevant the Bible was to every single issue of the day—and how well Christians are positioned to influence. Now I see how the Bible speaks clearly about every single topic in the news and culture today. The biblical model gives so many examples of God's people influencing the culture, politics and government. We are called to do the same today.
So, if you are trying to learn more about how to understand the issues of today through a biblical lens, here's the best way to get started:
