Seek First the Kingdom of God, Not the Kingdom of a Political Party
In our extremely polarized political climate, Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk equips us to engage with politics while staying rooted in Christlike discipleship. Drawing on biblical and historical examples, Pastor Eugene Cho explores …
• How to find points of agreement with others and work for the common good
• The difference between being passionate and being mean spirited
• Why politics should be an expression of our relationship with Christ
• Ways to listen to each other, especially the vulnerable
This book also introduces us to real-life friendships and church communities that have shown civility, maturity, and mutual respect even in the midst of disagreement on contentious issues. As Pastor Cho reminds us, we find our hope not in a politician or nation, but in the person of Jesus Christ. And from that foundation, we can walk with integrity, vote with conviction, listen to the hurting, and always remember that God is still on His throne.
