politics

A recent article in The Atlantic by Helen Lewis made the bold claim that “The Gender War Is Over in Britain.” An overstatement, to be sure, but not entirely unwarranted. Keir Starmer, head of the Labour Party, recently led his party away from full support of radical gender ideology. This was a notable shift for the United Kingdom’s largest left-wing party, which had previously encouraged radical elements of trans activism and stood aside as feminists were canceled for resisting the new orthodoxy. The shift, which was quietly announced to the public, made “three big declarations.”  

If we ignore politics, we consign ourselves to living in a society forged by a process in which we did not participate. As Daniel Webster noted, “Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.” Conversely, making politics our religion is idolatry, investing purpose in fallen humans which is properly reserved for God alone.

Everything we do matters. That’s not the question. Here’s the question, according to Jane Goodall: “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

The future of our democracy depends on the moral transformation of our people. As the only light in a dark world (Matthew 5:14-16), this process starts with us. But we must be changed to be the change we need to see. We must settle for nothing less than holistic holiness and then ask the Spirit to make us more like Christ than we have ever been as we submit daily to his lordship and obey his word and will.
