Every time they preach, teach, or write for public consumption; they run the risk of being labeled as \"too political,\" \"too right wing,\" or worse. Some would be called \"Christian Nationalists\" if they address topics like abortion, same-sex relationships, transgenderism, immigration, fiscal responsibility, our relationship to government, and many similar issues which are \"hot topics\" in the cultural and political realm.\u003cbr\u003eThis fear has been fanned into flame by some pastors who claim they \"simply proclaim the gospel\" and \"avoid politics\" by remaining silent on these moral topics. This assumes that the gospel is nothing more than a 30-second soundbite about the death and resurrection of Jesus, with NO mention of the things He taught.

After addressing these false premises, Pastor Joel looks at the fruit produced by many false teachings enabled by the church's abdication of her role. He also provides several positive, loving, biblical approaches to addressing these things-truly \"speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).\"\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 22, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54763830477133,"sku":"9781957351896","price":26.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/MGgK63_0gl9781957351896.webp?v=1789620632","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/pastors-politics-paranoia-putting-an-end-to-the-crisis-of-silence-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
