Prayer and Politics

How should Christians engage in politics? This is one of the hot-button issues of our day, with different opinions abounding. But there is one thing that all Bible-believing Christians should agree on: Christians must pray for our government leaders. This booklet looks at the Apostle Paul's exhortation to pray for government authorities in 1 Timothy 2:1–4 and explores the underlying political theology. By better understanding the role of government within God's created order, we can better understand how to pray for our leaders and engage in the political process in the fear of our Lord and the love of our neighbor.
