More Than a Left and Right Issue: The Weaponization of ‘Christian Nationalism’
As Christians, how we view the world is not confined to the narrow spectrum of the left and right but the biblical standards of right and wrong (Hebrews 5:14).

Truth Over Trend
Again, our thoughts and actions are not measured on a line of right and left politics but a paradigm of up and down; they are either in alignment with heaven or with hell – the Word or the world (2 Corinthians 2:12-16). And knowing this distinction will keep you from being silenced or intimidated by those who seek to deploy identity politics, using labels or name-games as a weapon of their warfare.
You cannot place a true Christian on a political spectrum because they are partisan to a Person and not to a party.
For example, the term “Christian Nationalism” has recently been increasingly wielded by “elites” with deceptive motives as a weapon to demonize and marginalize those with traditional Christian values. The concept of Christian Nationalism is being twisted and distorted to fit a narrative that equates with extremism, bigotry, and authoritarianism. The propaganda machine of the media wants the masses to believe that if you are labeled a Christian Nationalist that it is somehow synonymous with Nazism or fascism. They have deliberately hijacked those words to enjoin them into something sinister.
Do not let the fear of being called a Christian Nationalist silence you because you unashamedly love your God and have a high esteem for the values that built this country.
