Christians Cannot Ignore Politics in the Culture Wars

Published on August 2, 2020 By sirrahc

Despite the Judeo-Christian beginnings of the United States of America, there are some Americans these days who want to silence and marginalize Christians. (See my last couple posts.) While claiming to be “tolerant”, many will use bullying tactics to do so. (I suspect I’m not telling you anything new, here.) Yet, some Christians seem to […]
