About the Book

Christians need not be indifferent to the culture, in a society that has proven to be hostile to the Christian faith. They must seek to be equipped with the Christian worldview. This will empower them to understand and apply the total counsel of God to all areas of culture, as a means of bringing every area of thought to the obedience of Christ. The Lordship of Christ is not just for the Church, but the government, education, economics, law, and more. Christians must comprehend the dynamic relationship between the culture and the Christian faith since the Lordship of Christ encompasses and overlaps every area of life and reality, as there is nothing concerning reality that is not spiritual. Christians of our day have been sitting on the fence and very complacent to culture and society. And in response to Christ's command to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's..., Christians have rendered to Caesar, not just what belongs to him, but that which belongs to God as well. In our quest for righteousness, we have relinquished justices, what is the result? We have neither. This is the consequence of Christians woefully abandoning their Biblical obligation of "light and "salt" ministry and neglecting the cultural mandate and our commission to disciple our nations. (Matthew 28: 19-20; Genesis 1:28).Christianity demands that we not only be concerned but to be involved in our society. The Christian perspective of politics does not accept the separation of morality from politics; instead, consider all politics as a moral enterprise. The government regulates how citizens live in society, and how we live and treat each other primarily connects with the Christian cultural commission (mandate) to care for God's creation. In addition to the negative function of restraining crime in society, the government has a positive function of promoting a just social order so that people can live in peace and harmony. This is what Apostle Paul meant when he urged Timothy to, "...pray for their rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives, full of worship and holiness." The government should develop society and sustain a stable environment, in which people can live, dream, aspire, pursue, and fulfill their passion and destinies. They should protect the peoples' voluntary effort to shape civil society and community, by granting equal protection of the law and by upholding principles of justice to all-to the poor and the rich. The government must ensure that the weak and powerless are not exploited by guaranteeing liberty and providing security for everyone. This book is a wakeup call for all Christians. It discourages Christians from standing on the sideline of culture and provides the wisdom, strategy, and framework for Christian cultural engagement, including government and politics. It encourages and inspires Christians to defend Biblical principles, as they blend with government policies and laws. This will enliven an environment of freedom for all citizens to fulfill their potentials, without discrimination or oppression. It also expounds the Biblical basis for civil obedience and disobedience, as potent tools for restoring liberty and liberating society from the shackles of dictatorship. Indeed, it is a call for action for Christians everywhere to restore their decadent society bedeviled with godless governments so that the gospel is not hindered. The book highlights the challenges against the silent Church that does not stand up or speaks to the issues in society but enmeshed in status quo syndrome. It presents the true picture of the New Testament Church and how the disciples considered obeying God's commands a priority when it conflicts with the government's laws and policies. It explores the right theological solution, as the answers to the bisecting questions on the issues of governance.
