Two Kingdoms and Politics
Kim Riddlebarger reflects on the current political climate and discusses the importance of the 'two kingdom model' here. This article is very timely and important while we are deciding who to vote for in the up coming elections. Here is a section that was most interesting.
When viewed from the perspective of the two kingdoms, every Christian is simultaneously a citizen of both kingdoms and our theological beliefs should inform how we behave as citizens. But there's no distinction of kingdoms with Huckabee in a pulpit, and Huckabee's "soldiers in God's army" are people who will serve his political cause. In other words, they'll vote for him and encourage others to do the same. Fine for a political rally. Not fine for a church service.
