JD Vance and an Idol of Bread
Gary responds to certain Christians concerned with Donald Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance.
Christians cannot shrink from the scene when political decisions are hard to make. We need to be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matt. 10:16) while recognizing that “the sons of this age are often more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light” (Luke 16:8).
We live in a sinful world. There’s no getting around this truth this side of heaven. No politician is perfect, as the Bible makes clear. We’re always going to elect the lesser of two evils. I asked one Christian the following question: “Of the 535 members of Congress, who could you vote for?” He said, “none of them.” Is this what we’re left with? Until either a Joseph or a Daniel runs for office, Christians can’t vote for anyone? Is this the lesson the Bible is teaching? I don’t believe it is.
The first place to start to change the political landscape so that it conforms to biblical principles of leadership is to understand that civil government is only one government among many and is designed to be a limited government of specific enumerated powers at that. Our Constitution, a marvel of brevity, says as much in the Tenth Amendment.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Self-government under God is the starting point in the transformation of the political sphere. A person who can’t govern himself well (not perfectly) can’t govern well when other imperfect people are part of the mix.
There are many Christians who will not participate in civilization-building efforts that include economics, journalism, politics, education, and science because they believe (or have been taught to believe) these areas of thought are outside the realm of what constitutes a Christian worldview. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Gary responds to certain Christians concerned with Donald Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance. Despite many reasons that make him a good VP candidate, some are pointing to his Catholicism as concerning because he “worships an idol of bread,” referring to the Roman Catholic view of the Lord’s Supper (Communion). Gary points out that politics, and especially the current state, always involves picking the better candidate, rather than the best one.
