skip to content phill sacre just because i like seeing my name in big letters. menu home sermons videos photos about contact me should an archbishop speak out about politics? september 13, 2018 phill christian justin welby has been in the news recently for speaking out about politics. notably, he called for higher taxes to tackle an ‘unjust economy’ . he’s garnered quite a lot of criticism for speaking out in this way, and has written an article defending speaking out publicly. others have written about this more eloquently and wisely than i – i enjoyed what ian paul had to say – so i’ll just make a few brief comments. firstly: it’s not wrong for an archbishop – or any christian – to get involved with politics. i believe in getting involved in politics because i believe that jesus christ is lord of everything and cares about the whole of creation. i outlined a little about this in my post about not understanding tim farron . god’s laws are given for the good of all, and thus i think it’s right for christians to be involved in politics. secondly: christian leaders should be very careful about being involved with politics. one of the problems with politics is that, whatever you say, people will disagree with. that’s how it works. this is why i think christian leaders have a particular responsibility to say only what they are absolutely sure is right. i haven’t spoken in any of my sermons about the way i voted in in the brexit referendum, for example – even though i think there were good reasons for voting the way i did. if you align yourself with a particular cause, people may well think that the kingdom of god is aligned with that particular cause. in contrast, jesus said “my kingdom is not of this world” (john 18:36). jesus’ kingdom stretches across national boundaries, across political boundaries, across just about every boundary. although i may be of one particular political persuasion, i believe that there are faithful christians who have other political persuasions – and i want to welcome them to have a place at the table. anyone who christ welcomes, i want to welcome too. making political pronouncements which align with one particular style of politics – unless you have a cast-iron biblical reason for doing so – is wrong and unnecessarily divides the body of christ on political lines. thirdly: economics is not a straightforward matter. a lot of people seem to be glad that the archbishop is doing something about the poor (and christians should be concerned with the poor). the thing is, as i already talked about in my post about the poor , poverty is hugely complicated. i am far from persuaded that what the poor need is more money from the government – in many cases, at least. among the people i work with one of the biggest problems is family breakdown – fewer people are getting married, more and more children are being born into families with what used to be described as ‘complicated’ arrangements. all this is having a huge effect. i think this is nothing short of a national scandal – i’m sure i’ve read the uk has the highest rate of family breakdown in the developed world. why isn’t the archbishop speaking out about this, for example? any why is he instead advocating for higher taxes, which many are convinced will not actually help? finally: the ultimate solution we have is jesus. this is the biggest problem i have with justin welby getting involved in the way that he has. the solution god has given us to the problems of the world is not politics, but jesus christ – who alone has the power to forgive sin and give us the power to live in god’s ways. welby seems to be putting the state in the place of the gospel. if he actually spent more time publicly calling people to repentance and faith in christ it would have a far greater effect than asking the government to sort out economic injustice. i’m not asking for the church to simply preach the gospel and do nothing about social issues. but rather, the church needs to tackle the social issues with the gospel. as people come to faith in christ, they learn to love god and their neighbour as they are transformed by the spirit. and it is this kind of language which i see absent from much of what justin welby says (and, to be fair, not just him but most of the church of england). earlier on i watched the latest anglican unscripted episode , and i enjoyed the comments made in the second half of the video talking about this subject. if the church was committed to the task of evangelism, it would have a much bigger effect on the country than anything the state could do. advertisements sanctification: the next big debate within the church? august 18, 2018 phill christian church , debate , sanctification for the first few hundred years of the church’s history the big debate within the church was the nature of jesus christ – who, exactly, was he in relation to god? this is where the doctrine of the trinity came from – as theologians debated and discussed god’s revelation of himself in the bible. similar debates have happened through the years. around 500 years ago, at the time of the reformation, the debate was about justification : that is, whether justification was sola fide – by faith alone – or whether we co-operated with god in our salvation through good works. i think we are entering into another debate within the church – this time in the area of sanctification. sanctification is a theological word which basically means the process by which we become holy – becoming more and more the people who god wants us to be, setting aside sin and increasing our love for him and others. so why do i think this is going to be the next big debate within the church? allow me to explain with a particular example. earlier on today i watched a video by john piper: the video talks about how we should ‘flee youthful passions’ – we should do what we can to avoid things which are sinful, and even things which would cause us to sin. (i should add at this point, i have nothing against john piper and have benefitted from his books and videos – i am using this video because i think it’s a good example of a wider issue in many churches). many churches might preach a similar message. what’s the problem with that? as i see it, there are a few problems: it locates the source of the problem as external to us. this is a problem because we know that the source of the problem is our hearts, from which sin flows (e.g. mark 7:15). if i see an attractive woman and look at her lustfully, the problem is not with the woman – it’s with me. the problem is our hearts need to be changed, not our circumstances . it’s a self-centred way of looking at sin: it’s about fixing myself, rather than loving god and loving others. of course, if we sin we will harm others – but i think the bible calls us to more than avoiding harm! following on from that – it focusses on ‘stop it’ as a solution to sin – stop thinking the bad thing, stop feeling the bad thing, stop doing the bad thing. it doesn’t think about what we should do instead . so when paul talks about ‘fleeing’ evil desires – what should we flee to? all of this has come home to me as i’ve been thinking about my other friend zone project. recently i reviewed aimee byrd’s book why can’t we be friends? , which is subtitled avoidance is not purity. as i read that book, and as i’ve been thinking about the issue of friendship between men and women, it has struck me how our understanding of sanctification has become deficient. too often i think christians are so fearful of sin they don’t want to do anything! i was born and raised in evangelical churches, from a christian home, and yet i think i spent many years of my life scared of sin – scared of just the kind of thing that john piper talks about in the video. it’s only come home to me in the last few years that we are not to avoid doing what is right out of fear! i think christians should have more confidence in god, who “has given us everything we need
