Religion & Politics • 2 Things people should never talk about: Religion & Politics. • Certainly, the church should not have a say when it comes to political issues. • ???????????????????????????????? • The Bible Speaks regarding every issue and certainly a Christian’s political beliefs should be shaped by the word of God. • This is not a lesson to focus on candidates nor their parties.
