The church has become consumed by politics--political priorities and allegiances. Christian brothers and sisters have become opponents.

Evangelicals are embracing the logic of ancient heresies. We are using the gospel for power (Simony), integrating our faith with worldliness (Gnosticism), exchanging our heavenly Savior for a human helper (Arianism), transforming our mission into social action (Pelagianism), and demonizing other believers (Donatism).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe solution is not to switch sides or carve out a third way. Rather, the proper response to unbelief is repentance. We must stop, turn around, and return to God's gracious throne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAs for the idols of the nations, they are but silver and gold,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ethe work of human hands. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThose who make them are like them,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eand so are all who put their trust in them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ePaperback, 216 pages, notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker-Lexham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46447566454818,"sku":"04c","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/0697\/0688\/files\/WhenPoliticsBecomesHeresy.jpg?v=1787176674","url":"https:\/\/reformedchristianbooks.com\/products\/when-politics-becomes-heresy","provider":"Vanderheide's Reformed Christian Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
