How Should Christians Engage in Politics? With Jeff Samelson
with Jeff Samelson
Jeff Samelson explains how Christians can engage politics with biblical conviction, humility, love, and confidence in God’s sovereignty.
Dr. David T. Lamb joins Michael to discuss the tragic failures of the kings and Israelites in 1-2 Kings, and what we can learn from their mistakes.
1 Kings begins with a portrait of the king we’re all longing for and ends in disaster. Power un-checked and un-submitted to the Lord breeds injustice and corruption. The nation of Israel splits into the Divided Kingdom and we are left longing for the King who will rule justly, mercifully, perfectly.
Michael is joined by his dear friend Jeanne Hendricks who generously gives us her take on the purpose of the book of Ruth and who she believes to be the real hero of the story: Naomi.
How do we resolve texts we can’t reconcile to any sort of order or justice? When the bad guys win and evil violence seems to have the last word?
Dr. Mark Chavalas joins us again to discuss some of the more difficult passages in the book of Judges.
